Marketing / Re: Americans demanding faster and faster shipping times for their online shopping
« on: March 14, 2018, 02:03:53 PM »
More and more we are seeing people willing to pay for expedited shipping. We did a lot of testing last year on shipping costs, shipping methods, upselling expedited shipping, free shipping, etc. and found that free shipping isn't the necessity it has been. It seems like people are more willing to pay for shipping and when you give them an incentive to upgrade their shipping to 2 day delivery they are willing to do so.

I have a 98 Honda Civic and a 2000 Honda Odyssey. We are trying to kill both of them to justify buying something newer but they just won't die. We put a couple hundred here and there into them but nothing expensive enough to make us scrap them.

Marketing / Re: Trust Seals - Overhyped?
« on: February 27, 2018, 07:01:20 PM »
I know we have done some A/B testing with different seals to see what has an effect on sales and conversion rate. I don't have any of the specifics of the test available but there were some noticeable differences when we showed different seals. Most of our sites have Norton, McAfee, and BBB but our main site is just BBB.

I used to eat alfalfa sprout and peanut butter sandwiches as a kid all the time. And I actually liked them. Always hated bean sprouts though.

I liked Oliver in his earlier years but once he got on the big "attack the commercial food industry" kick he went on a few years back he started getting annoying. Does he really think anyone who eats chicken nuggets cares that they use mechanically separated chicken?
And I would never think to put lemon on steak. I would use it in a marinade for some middle eastern steak dishes with some flank or skirt steak or something but never on a ribeye or NY strip or anything like that.

>>Winn-Dixie
I have a Publix and Winn-Dixie almost the same distance from my house. 99% of the time I choose Publix even though it is a bit more expensive overall. Just a better overall shopping experience.
And based on the clientele I see at both stores I can see why the cuts in food stamps could have a bigger effect on Winn-Dixie vs. Publix.

Traffic / Re: An End to Sharing Other People's Link on FB
« on: February 12, 2018, 08:11:23 PM »
We are trying to figure out how this will affect our affiliates with FB pages who share affiliate links on their pages. Since they are creating some sort of content and then just linking I don't think it would be an issue but in essence they are getting paid to post links. So it will be interesting to watch.
