Tips on gaining sales even with long shipping time
1. Offer the best deal (not necessarily the best price) but this will surely help you convince people to accept the longer waiting time. Price is a very important reason for people to wait.
2. It starts with Manage the expectations of your customer. If your customer knows the long waiting time that he is buying and he can accept it, you don't have a problem anymore. In the end you must be honest and provide your customers with expected delivery times, you should also warn them about possible delays and
3. Consider Playing down the waiting times, suppose it takes 30 days, say: 15-30 days delivery, depending on Point of Destination (POD). However, this is already a thin line, and don't lie or promise the delivery is shorter. Always mention the possibility that it can take 30 days in that specific case.
4. Psychological delivery times: "less than a month", "only 30 days", "long delivery time, best service", etc
5. Besides, you need to mention: "Transport times depend on the express services available to your country" or: "currently low stock, we cannot guarantee fast delivery time". Of course, this only works with transparency from the beginning, and best to communicate exact dates after payment is received. Your reputation should be protected, and therefore I refer back to managing the expectations carefully.
6. Be honest about the country of origin, mention your factory is providing it from Asia or China.
7. Always Work with a tracking number and be transparent in your shipping time!
8. Provide A fast delivery at additional costs and the standard (read: slow) delivery which already includes the shipping fee (free shipping fee)
9. Ask the supplier to consider Stock in your local market
10. You need to Pick products that "don't eat bread" . I mean, make sure that the products are not time-sensitive.
11. Promote your Customer service
12. Promote people that buy the products (testimonials)
13. Consider a return policy and let them ship it to a local address to reduce shipping costs.
14. Niche marketing: work with items that are rarely found and very unique and difficult to get.
15. Finally, good luck to you, anyone who follows me or likes this article gets rich in the end!
