7 Reasons Free Shipping Makes Online Shopping Easier!

In 2011 we are all, well most of us are somewhat accustomed to online shopping to and how it works. Go online, find a store, find your product, make a payment with your credit/debit card and then the delivery truck delivers the package to your home. That part of online shopping is elementary to the majority of the US population these days.

 

Free is something all Americans love, and now with many online retailers shifting gears and offering Free Shipping on your online purchases, the game has changed and retailers have now taken things a step further to win your business without having to visit the actual retail location or leave your home. Free Shipping comes in different ways and we will demonstarte 7 of them that are quite effective at winning customers. Here are 7 types of Free Shipping offers you will see retailers promoting to earn your business online.

 

    1. All free, all the time. This offer is rarer all the time, but some retailers do offer totally free shipping. L.L. Bean, eBags, HP Home & Home Office Store and Sears are among the some of the major retailers that offer this deal.

    2. Free shipping -- to members only. You pay an annual fee to join the 'club,' and then your shipping is free. FreeShipping.org describes this mode as "increasingly prevalent."

    3. Free shipping with a minimum order size. This one has been making America buy one more item than we really needed probably since catalogs were invented more than a hundred years ago.

    4. Free shipping, only on certain items. A tried and true method for getting rid of the item you've overstocked or that has the best margins. Providing a preference for free shipping drives customers to choose the items you've put the free shipping offer on over your other goods.

    5. Free site-to-store shipping. This one is gaining ground too, especially with big chains that have many locations. In this scheme, it's free if you'll drop by the store to pick it up.

    6. Free return shipping. Nearly everyone does this in apparel. Otherwise, there's basically no other way to get you to buy the stuff via catalog or online.

    7. Flat-rate shipping. OK, it's not completely free, but it usually represents a substantial discount over what consumers might have paid for shipping otherwise. So part of the shipping cost is free, and the cost is contained at one low rate to prevent unpleasant shipping-bill surprises.
