Listen Later

The holidays are fast approaching us and online shopping continues to explode. That means your business needs to be on their A-Game this year. In this episode, I'm sharing the #1 reason people decide not to finalize their purchases online: shipping charges.

How many times have you been shopping online, have added a couple items to your cart and when you saw the $7.99 shipping charge, you immediately questioned whether or not you really want the product? Or what about that alert in the cart that says: "Add $4.95 to your cart and get free shipping." Do you find yourself going back to the menu to see what you can find to get you over that $4.95 threshold?
