2015 year is Free Shipping Day’s eighth year. Free Shipping Day was started in 2008 by Luke and Maisie Knowles who owned an online shopping site. They hoped to extend the shopping season and put the idea together in just two weeks. When they got attention from the media, hundreds of retailers agreed to participate. Consumers had new faith in placing later orders with guaranteed Christmas delivery. Sales were better than expected and a new shopping tradition was born.
Free Shipping Day is now the third busiest online shopping holiday. Consumer online spending on Free Shipping Day now beats spending Black Friday. Online spending on Free Shipping Day is passed only by Cyber Monday. Retailers are embracing these statistics reaching out to consumers. The deals will be great!
