Why offer free shipping?

Shipping options play a pivotal role in an online shopper's decision of where to spend their hard-earned dollars:

  • By providing numerous shipping options, an online retailer can capitalize on the booming ecommerce experience to generate revenue streams through increased sales.
  • Free shipping entices customers to purchase by wrapping all costs into the price of each item.
  • Shopping carts are often abandoned at the checkout when customers are dissuaded by an additional shipping charge. Maintaining a steady cost from product page to checkout increases a customer's likelihood on following through with the purchase.

How to pay for free shipping

Someone has to pay for the cost of delivering goods to consumers. The ultimate challenge for online businesses is how to affordably offer free shipping and balance the expense?

  • Factor shipping into operation and pricing: understand shipping costs from the moment you receive inventory and include it in financial models.
  • **Market free shipping:**Customers love free shipping, but they need to be made well aware that it's a distinguishing perk. Mention free shipping or on every major page that gets customer visits, and be sure to include it on product pages.
  • **Focus on up-sells and cross-sells:**Shipping gets more efficient as items are added. When merchants incur the cost, it makes up-sellsand cross-sells a margin-mover.

Online businesses can also reduce overhead through established relationships with shipping vendors. Free shipping is also a long-term play: taking a short-term loss can be a smart sacrifice with a big-time payoff down the road if the policy generates loyal customers and brand advocates.
