1. Shipping Rule
The first way that You can win more orders from Jet.com is by applying Shipping Rule.
Consider the image
Let’s assume you sell camera. A is the first seller of Camera, You are B, and C is the customer who is looking for the camera.
Both (You and A) offer camera at $100 (Item price + Shipping Price). Now Jet.com takes 15% commission. So the offer price would be $85.
Now here is the catch. Since Seller is far-far away from the buyer C in comparison to where you’re based. So he has to spend more on the shipping. However, you’ve to spend less on the shipment. So you can take the benefit of the distance optimization.
How?
You can offer extra discount to the Buyer C. However if you offer extra discount your margins get diminished. So what to do?
Here is the strategy. Jet.com permits you to increase the ITEM price and then offer additional discount.
Here is how:
Price |
Item Price |
Shipping Charges |
$100 |
$90 |
$10 |
Now increase the ITEM PRICE by $2. Now the modified Item Price is $92.
So the total cost to you is $102. Now offer extra 2% discount. So now the new chargeable commission would be 17% (including previous 15%).
However, after the discount, the offered price would be $84.66 which is lower than Seller A. Additionally you don’t have to compromise on your Shipping savings.
