Free Shipping Day is good for shoppers and good for merchants. Shoppers are rewarded with free shipping for doing their last minute Christmas shopping at home, and participating merchants have the opportunity to increase sales further into the Christmas shopping season.

Why do we need a Free Shipping Day?
After December 12th online shopping declines dramatically. Free Shipping Day will encourage shoppers to continue shopping online later into the month of December. Not only will online retailers benefit from increased sales on free shipping day but they will see increased sales on the days leading up to Free Shipping Day thanks to increased consumer confidence.
In the next 5 Years Free Shipping Day has the potential to increase pre-Christmas online sales by hundreds of millions of dollars.
Who picks the date for Free Shipping Day?
Every year we will consult with retailers to determine the latest possible day in the Christmas shopping season that they can offer free shipping and guarantee delivery by December 24th. It will typically fall somewhere between December 16th and 19th. We encourage Industry wide participation, the more retailers that participate the bigger Free Shipping Day will be and the quicker it will catch on.
Does this cost me anything?
Free Shipping Day is Free! It costs nothing to participate, as a retailer all you need to do is offer a free shipping deal your web site this December 17th. Let us know about your offer and we will help promote it here on our website, on blogs and through press releases.
If you would like to learn more about the benefits of offering free shipping and how to craft a profitable free shipping offer download The Free Shipping eBook.
Why is Free Shipping Day better than free shipping on any other day?
Offering free shipping can be profitable year round, but the idea behind Free Shipping Day is to encourage shoppers to continue shopping online later into the Christmas Shopping season. Also, many merchants will be offering free expedited shipping on Free Shipping Day, which is a bigger deal.
