Shipping Ideas for Online Retailers

Shipping Ideas for Online Retailers

Online retailers can experience many shipping woes. But we’re going to give you a few ideas for improving your shipping and increasing your overall revenue as a result.

  • Offer free shipping – How can you make more money by giving something away? Rather than offering free shipping across the board, you can offer free shipping on certain items, free shipping during certain promotions, free shipping for loyalty members, or free shipping on orders over a certain amount. According to a UPS study in 2015, more than half of shoppers were willing to add something to the cart to meet free shipping requirements.
  • Use flat rate boxes – By using a flat rate box, you know exactly what shipping will cost you based on the size of the item. This allows you to know your shipping costs ahead of time and to factor this cost in when pricing your items.
  • Don’t skimp on packing materials – You need your products to arrive in one piece if you don’t want to spend even more on returns or end up with negative reviews. Plus, your packing materials provide you with a great marketing opportunity. For example, printed packing tape is an affordable way to package your items in an attractive manner.
