Detailed explanation of Lazada platform activities and optimization of free shipping strategy
As one of the e-commerce giants in Southeast Asia, Lazada not only provides consumers with a diverse shopping experience, but also provides sellers with a wealth of marketing tools and activity mechanisms to help grow their businesses.
How does the free shipping campaign work?
Free shipping activity is a common promotional method on the Lazada platform, aiming to improve customers’ shopping experience and increase order amounts. When a single order reaches the free shipping threshold set by the merchant, the merchant will bear the final shipping fee paid by the buyer. In Southeast Asia, the free shipping strategy is particularly popular because it can significantly enhance product competitiveness, increase product exposure, and increase conversion rates.
Benefits of free shipping campaign
- Improve competitiveness: Products with a free shipping logo can gain higher exposure on the Lazada platform.
- Increase exposure: Free shipping products enjoy traffic weighting in search results, helping to attract more potential buyers.
- Increase conversion rates: Research shows that compared to non-free shipping products, the conversion rate of products with free shipping is more than twice as high.
- Increase shopping cart size: Encourage consumers to increase their single purchase volume by setting a minimum consumption threshold, thereby increasing the unit price per customer.
