Your Website vs. Amazon: Win with Free & Fast Shipping & EDDs

Old way vs New way: product pages that prominently display estimated delivery dates improve conversion and user experience compared to the old way

Give Your Website Customers an Amazon-Like Delivery Experience

It’s Easier and Less Expensive Than You Think

Sorry Shopify, BigCommerce, Woocommerce, and Magento store owners, Amazon still wants to eat your lunch. Shoppers won’t buy from your website – unless you give them the same fast, date-certain delivery experience they get on marketplaces like Amazon.

Today, 63% of consumers start their shopping experience on Amazon, 25% on other marketplaces, and only 21% on brand websites. And 45% of shoppers abandon their carts due to unsatisfactory shipping options. So, now is the time to level the playing field with Amazon and get a leg up on your competitors with an Amazon-like delivery experience on your website and any other channels where you sell.

The latest consumer research shows why EDDs + fast & free shipping options work:

75% wish more brands offered the same level of service as Amazon
64% look for delivery options – before putting items in the cart
83% said free delivery was the most important factor when ordering online
87% are more likely to shop your site again following a positive delivery experience

Here’s what you’ll learn:

Why E-commerce sales on marketplaces are growing faster than brand website sales
Rising consumer expectations of date-certain, fast and free delivery
The impact of shipping offers on conversion rates, cart abandonment, and sales
Implementing date-certain & fast and free delivery – it’s easier than you think
