Getting ready for Free Shipping Day - Who else is doing it?

[KatGurumi]

are you participating in Free Shipping Day? Have you participated in it in the past? If so, did you get any sales because of it?

[ForgedMettleJewelry]

This year is my first Free Shipping Day. I've actually been running a free shipping sale in my shop all week with, sadly, no sales so far. Though I have been getting about half dozen views from the site a day. Hopefully I might actually sell something Friday...

for me every day is a Free Shipping Day!
:D

I am! This will be my first time participating. I'm hoping to get some last minute sales! I signed up yesterday afternoon and had 9 views.... we'll see. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Good luck! :)

[Former_Member]

i would participate, when is it?

[Former_Member]

I'm ready!! So excited, I've been getting hits from the free shipping day website and questions from customers about inventory on that day :)

[TheMillineryShop]

Hope this is a good thing 'cause I'm doing it!

[StarJewels]

I am participating, got a few hits from the website, hope to get at least one sale as it was a lot of work changing my tags and titles...will see if it pays off. I'm offering free global shipping and free priority mail shipping with guaranteed xmas delivery on U.S. orders over $25. For those that are participating, what qualifiers if any have you put on your offer? Are you shipping priority?

[StarJewels]

Ashley, it is this Friday- tomorrow.

[EviesToolEmporium]

It is Friday December 16th!

We participated last year and had one sale. We are not participating last year!

Good sales to all who are participating!

[MythOfTheWild]

Oh, I will be! This is the first I'm hearing of it but I decided right now that I will :D

[Former_Member]

It still worries me that the item might not arrive in time for Christmas so I am not going to participate.

[Former_Member]

I'm in and excited to see how it goes!

[Former_Member]

This is my first year to participate. I've already been getting a few views from it so hopefully the sales will roll in on Friday :)

Good luck to everyone participating!!

After you signed up, how long did it take for your shop to show in the search results on the freeshippingday website?

[Former_Member]

I got a confirmation email from the website within a few hours and my shop showed up in the search results

[StarJewels]

Natasha you can set conditions and still get featured. So you can set the "bar" at a level that will still be profitable for you to send priority. Some stores make you buy 2 items to get free shipping. My official offer as far as the site is concerned is guaranteed delivery (priority mail) w/ domestic order of $25 or more, but am offering free first class shipping internationally to all with no "guarantee" of xmas delivery for orders under $25 or int'l.

[Former_Member]

I just signed up. Even though I have free shipping in my shop all the time. :)

[Former_Member]

I never even heard about this.....

[TreasuresOfGrace]

I have signed up. I have had free shipping all this week, and have had one sale. Not sure if it was due to the free shipping site, but have had some views from that site. I will also be looking to buy (I think I buy more than I sell :-).

[Former_Member]

I hadn't heard of this before, thanks for sharing it! I'm considering participating in it.

[LaraLeib]

I'm in! I've been offering free shipping since the week before Thansgiving but I've gotten a bunch of views from the freeshipping site, so hopefully I get some sales tomorrow!

[Former_Member]

I tried it out (through the Canadian website). Got major views for about a week prior until the day after...no sales though. =/

[Former_Member]

I'm participating. It's my first year. I'm thinking about starting early so I don't forget. The time stuff is what does it. I forget to adjust for ETSY time.

[NeatoKeen]

I'm going to try it this year and see what happens...I registered my shop on the freeshippingday site. Hopefully, I will be busy heading to the Post Office on Saturday morning. Good luck to all...happy holidays and happy sales!
