Retailers hope free shipping turns you into a regular
Recently companies began talking about free shipping for the holiday season. Most online shoppers search for the best deals they can get, and that includes free shipping. Once a customer gets free shipping the first time, they expect to get it every single time after that. A lot of online retaielrs will offer free shipping if they know it will draw in consumers, but they will not all be the same type. Some retailers will offer no strings attached free shipping while others have a minimum purchase amount, or even offer it only for current custoemrs. What stores are trying to get out of the free shipping deals is the addition of regular customers after the hiloday season is over.

When I shop online, I look for free shipping, otherwise I would not purchase a product online. The amount people pay for shipping is very high, and turns many people away from the products the company sells online. Free shipping would be great to have especially during the holiday season. It will make it a lot easier and cheaper for those who do not like going to the crowded malls.
ReplyDeleteWell, if company's were to do free shipping for the holiday season, i would think that they would make alot more then what there bound to make when not having free shipping. If they were to do this, it would most likely be a huge benefit on there end aswell as all of the shoppers that would be buying from them. All and all, good idea.
