Whereas if you offer an additional price on top for shipping, that customer has spent the last few minutes processing within their buying decisions the price shown on the screen & now when they’ve gone to pay it’s increased & they’ve got to mentally make a new decision about your product & whether it’s now worth the new total price shown. If you offer ’free shipping’ aka ‘shipping included’ then your customer knows when they see the price of your product and that is the price that they will pay when they checkout. Reason 1: Your Get More Orders by Only Having One Total Price OK let’s know the reasons why you should offer ‘free shipping’ aka ‘shipping included’. So remember, you are not offering ‘free shipping’ instead you are offering ‘shipping included’. Really, everyone should advertise it as ‘shipping included’ which is what is the reality of the situation BUT ‘free shipping’ is now the term that has been most commonly used to mean this so that’s what you should call it & it’s what I’ll continue to call it through this episode. Therefore it’s important to realise that ‘free shipping’ is not about offering shipping at no extra cost to your customer & you somehow cover the costs from somewhere else & potentially make a loss! NO, Free shipping is a marketing tactic. Everyone knows this! Shipping has to be paid for somehow & by someone in order for a product to successfully get from point A (your address) to point B (your customer’s address). Now before I get into this episode, I want to start off with an important mindset shift that you need to make. & why your money mindset might be stopping you getting consistent orders. Why you NEED to offer ‘free shipping’ (& not because it’s prioritised in US search results).

And the answer to this is to add it to your product price & then offer free shipping!ģ reasons why Etsy ‘free shipping’ will get you more orders. BUT, you’re worried that this will ‘put off’ your customers if your shipping prices are high. Therefore you want to make sure that you charge the right price to cover any shipping or postage prices you have.

If you’re selling physical products it can be one of your biggest expenses – it certainly is for my own product-based business, Popcorning Piggy.

I get asked a lot about shipping or postage prices.
