Discount Your Shipping for Better Appeal on Fashmates

If you are struggling to sell an item rather than discount it why not discount the shipping costs?

You may not have enough markup on an item or it might be already too cheap to discount, however if you offer discounted shipping it makes the item more appealing.

Who wants to pay $15 shipping for a $10 tee, right?

You may just have discounted shipping on some items or on bundles all the time, but there are other ways to use discounted shipping to move items which are not selling or to sell more expensive items quicker.

Limited Time Offers

Offer free or 47c shipping for a limited time.

It’s up to you how long the limited time is, but the cheaper the shipping offer the less time it should be available.

For example, you may advertise that you are offering free shipping on items over $50 for the next hour.

Combine Free or Discounted Shipping with Other Deals

One way to make your items even more appealing is to combine deals.

Combine discounted shipping with the “Make an Offer” function and reduce the shipping if your price is met.

You may state that if someone offers you $5 or $10 off the price, you’ll ship the item for a huge discount or for free, for example.

This is great for cheaper items or those which are just not selling.

How many times have you gone to purchase something online only to find that the shipping costs outweigh the value of the item? Your customers have all had the same experience.

Discounted or free shipping can make your already great items even more appealing to customers.
