FREE SHIPPING PROMOTIONAL CODES - A BLESSING FOR THE SHOPPERS



A coupon is a ticket or voucher that can be used to claim discount on the purchase of a product. The coupons are issued by different manufacturers (retailers) of goods to increase the demand of their product by offering attractive money savings to consumers. Nowadays online selling/purchasing has become one of the fastest method of shopping as its not time consuming and everything you want is at your doorstep in no time. This online transaction is called E-commerce and the online retailers refer to the coupons as promotional codes, coupon codes. These promotional codes offer discount in terms of cost reduction, free shipping and other forms to enhance the consumer interest for specific retailers.
A survey of online shoppers reported that a high percentage of orders get abandoned at the time of checkout due to very high shipping charges. Free shipping of different products has resulted in a massive increase in online sales over the last few years. Moreover it’s the best way to advertise the products with minimum efforts. With the ever increasing inflation rate, the free shipping is like a blessing for people as they get some relief in money and don’t have to pay extra charges which sometimes are more than the actual cost of the product.
The research has come up with the most popular free shipping methods which have diversified the trends of online shopping to great extent.
     Total free shipping: Retailers who have kept very high profit margins tend to offer free shipping on all the products they sell. This helps them to increase their sales and also make their customers satisfied by offering handsome discounts on the shipping of wide range of products. Mostly shoe and jewelry merchants are the ones who offer such discounts.
     Free shipping with Membership: Many online retailers offer free shipping discount to their customers who have bought their membership by paying an annual fee and enjoy shipping discounts on all the orders. Besides membership, a store credit card also serves the same purpose and is really beneficial for customers who do frequent shopping from the same store.
     Minimum order shipping: It’s the most well known offer provided by the merchants. The customers have to spend a certain amount and can get free shipping of the entire order.
     Selected item shipping: The merchants of bulky products offer this kind of discount on select items as it’s very difficult and expensive to ship such products.
     Site to store shipping: The customers place their order online and can pick up their delivery from a large retail store in their vicinity. This method is not so convenient but the advantage is that the customer is not bound to pay the heavy shipping charges.
     Free return shipping: This method is very common with the shoe and clothes retailers where the shoppers have the advantage of sending their purchases back without paying the shipping costs if it doesn’t fit them properly. This encourages customers to spend more without being worried about the outcome.
     Flat rate shipping: The merchants ship all the orders irrespective of their size for a fixed shipping cost. This helps customers to buy more products without being concerned of large shipping cost.

With so many benefits, it’s very difficult to curtail yourself from online shopping. Free shipping promotional codes have made shopping so easy and comfortable as it was never before so don’t hesitate and avail the best you can.

A PERFECT WEDDING DRESS – THE DREAM OF EVERY BRIDE

Wedding dress has a significant part in enhancing the overall appearance of a bride.
It’s the most important day in the life of every woman so a lot of time and effort is put
 in to get a perfect fit while managing their budget wisely. Practically the shopping for the perfect
 dream dress should be started months before the big day so that ample of time is available to research
 the market and choose the best one from the available options  At first try to survey the market
 yourself so as to get an idea what styles and colors are in fashion. Limit your shopping partners
 to one or maximum two and make sure they understand you and know your likes and dislikes very
 well as a lot of opinions will be very clashing.
Budget is the main concern of every bride and should be set much before starting the market survey. Sometimes it happens that we fall in love with a dress that is far beyond the set budget and disappointments spoil the entire mood so in this case be wise enough and ask the designer to restrict the embroidery/beading on the dress or another option is to make use of a less expensive fabric. Besides wedding dress, jewelry, slippers, make-up etc should also be taken into account as these also heavily influence the budget.
When choosing a perfect dress, a lot of factors should be kept in mind like the color of the dress. Unlike western weddings where the bride’s gown is mostly white in color, the eastern brides can choose from a wide range of colors from red, maroon to bottle green, magenta, purple hues, turquoise etc. The color of the dress should be such that it complements the bride’s complexion and personality.
Discount for Best Bridal Prices coupon codes can be very tempting but don’t get carried away
by 50%-70% off as there is quite a possibility that these dresses are simple pieces and have minor
defects as a number of  brides have tried them and could have been torn, stained or otherwise defected.
Keep your eyes open and don’t be discouraged as it’s possible that you might find your perfect fit
somewhere in the sale stock but before buying it check it for minor flaws as sale items can’t be
exchanged. Avoid trying a lot of dresses as too many options create confusion and you

 land nowhere with your shopping.

The wedding dress should be comfortable and make you feel confident on the big day.
 Carefully choose the fabric for your dress which makes you feel comfortable and is close to
 what you normally like to wear. If the wedding is in summers, then go for some light fabric type
 rather than the thick, silky material which can be very uncomfortable under hot and humid conditions.
Nowadays, every bride wants to have their own style statement and therefore prefer dresses that have traditional embellishments on it but with modern cuts.  These tips and ideas should be very helpful in selecting the ideal dress for the big day and remember, be careful in what you select for yourself as it should be once in a lifetime experience and you have to look gorgeous so have fun shopping.
