💡 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀! 📦✈️ Offering free shipping is great for conversion, but if you're not providing an express shipping option, you could be losing out on last-minute shoppers. Whether it’s a birthday they forgot about, a wedding this weekend, or a holiday rush, many customers are willing to pay extra to ensure their items arrive on time. 🎁 🎄 🎂 By adding an express option with clear delivery dates, you not only capture those urgent purchases but also build long-term trust with your customers. They’ll appreciate knowing they can count on you when it matters most. Make express shipping available—not just during the holidays, but all year round! 🎯 📺 Watch the full episode here for more shipping tips! https://lnkd.in/gy-tqkj9 #ecommerce #onlineshopping #shipping #customerservice #holidayshopping #customerexperience #crossborderecommerce #ecommercetips

𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 High shipping costs can deter shoppers, especially international customers who often face additional fees at checkout. 🛍️ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀: - 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: Work closely with your carriers to secure discounts based on your shipping volume. - 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿:: Utilize a shipping reseller to benefit from their bulk shipping discounts. - 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴: Introduce a more palatable, lower-cost alternative with postal shipping to provide customers with an economical option. - 𝗔𝗱𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀: For unique items, slightly increase the product price to cover part of the shipping cost. This makes the overall cost more palatable to customers. Watch the clip for an example! 🔑 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: Customers are hesitant to pay more for shipping than the product itself and are sometimes willing to wait longer for reduced shipping costs. High-cost shipping will scare customers away, so try to find the best rates to pass along. By carefully balancing product pricing with shipping costs, you can enhance customer satisfaction and boost conversions. 📺 📦 Find more shipping optimization tips on this past episode of the Decoding Cross-Border Ecommerce podcast: https://lnkd.in/gKwsmX-b #Ecommerce #PricingStrategy #ShippingCosts #ConversionOptimization #CrossBorderCommerce
