how do I offer free shipping with purchase with my online business?
I have a clothing business online and to increase sales I want to offer free shipping with each purchase but I am not sure how to go about it.
It looks like the least expensive route would be usps as they have more standard rates.
Is that a good idea or should I just keep it simple and let the customer pay shipping?
Thanks
I run a business and do the free shipping thing.
What I did was calculate the average cost to send goods across the country. I then added a small % to it and then to the bottom line price of the good. I only ship free to the 48 continuous states (though if you ship USPS to HI and AK it would be the same price 1st class).
I then advertise “all prices include ground shipping”.
It does seem to help my sales as my customers know what it is going to cost them! My competition has adjusted their pricing accordingly too.
