FreeShipping.com Launches New Program for Online Merchants

Wethersfield, CT (PRWEB) November 9, 2005 -- FreeShipping.com (http://www.freeshipping.com) announced today the launch of a new revenue generating program for online stores. FreeShipping.com's Merchant Partner Program is designed to reward the customers of online merchants, generate incremental revenue streams, and promote repeat purchases.

The Merchant Partner Program allows an online merchant to offer their customers a rebate on their shipping charges when they sign up for a free trial in FreeShipping.com's "Insiders-Club". This rebate is paid for by FreeShipping.com, and is positioned as an immediate reward for the customer's purchase. Merchants receive a commission for each membership (creating an incremental revenue stream), and also benefit from repeat purchases that are generated by club members. Once a customer joins the Insiders-Club, their future purchases are eligible for Exclusive Free Shipping Rebates, also subsidized by FreeShipping.com.

According to Vincent Villano, FreeShipping.com's Managing Director, "It's no secret that a free shipping offer is one of the most powerful tools an online merchant has to drive sales for their store. Our new Merchant Partner Program is designed to turn what is typically a significant expense into a new revenue stream. It also helps promote repeat shopping by providing members with ongoing exclusive free shipping rebates, and other valuable member benefits. Most importantly, these rebates are paid for by us, not our merchant partners."

To implement FreeShipping.com's Merchant Partner Program, all that is required is a simple link to a custom landing page from either the merchant's order confirmation page, or an order confirmation email. There is no cost to the merchant.

All of the recent attention regarding free shipping on the Web is good news for FreeShipping.com according to Mr. Villano. "We offer the perfect business proposition for online shoppers and merchants. Our service is so valuable, people are willing to pay for premium access. Customers love shopping online, but they hate paying for shipping, and our service provides the perfect solution."
