What entices you to make an online purchase?

My biggest driver is free shipping especially if it is a low or no minimum purchase required.

Percentage off is good but only if it significant (like 20%+).

Agreed about the discount - 20-40% off, especially at stores that don't often discount, is more likely to push me to buy.

Free shipping is nice but it depends on how much they usually charge for shipping and how much I want to buy vs what the limit is. If I have something big heavy and/or expensive to buy free shipping might be more of a push. 

Gift with purchase is not my thing at all. I am picky about what takes up space in my life. I prefer companies who don't force you to take them. Freebies are unlikely to drive me to make a purchase. 

The products I want are in stock. Bonus is if there is free shipping or a coupon code I could use. But I do not hold out purchases for percentage off or free shipping. I order when I need items or to place pre-sale orders. 

this - I usually don't want enough nor can I justify spending enough to hit the minimums

Free shipping first. I will even buy stuff that I didn’t intend to buy. I’m a sucker for free shipping. Also, percent off but it has to be a decent amount. I roll my eyes when I see a 5% off “sale”.

Free shipping is my biggest enticement. I always have a cart going at multiple shops, waiting for a good deal. A decent percentage off (not 5%, 6%, or 8% 👀) is a close second, especially if it covers the shipping cost. Free gifts are nice but if I want the free gift that much, I’ll just buy it.

I shop when I am sad, ha! Retail therapy is the best therapy.

Free Shipping. I hardly ever buy unless I get that!

I go for the product. Often through FOMO if I have seen the latest and greatest demo'd. Even if I have no idea how to use it

If I have any willpower to leave the website without clicking on PURCHASE NOW, I will grab the exciting thing up if the vendor announces a substancial % discount. This is the case with boring essentials like glue and foam dots and page protectors, too. If I am purchasing something else from the vendor, I will add on the extras to make up the minimum purchase.

I'm so used to paying shipping that free shipping is not really an enticement for me, I'd rather have a discount. If it's something that I absolutely have to have I'll buy it at full price (and pay shipping), but most things don't fall into that category so I'll wait for the regular sales my favourite Aussie online lss has. I use these sales especially to buy page protectors and albums.

I'm rather miffed sb.com are no longer doing the small % off basically everything all the time. I usually wait until there are deeper discounts on the things I most want but add some of the nice to have things to my order as well. Even though the discounts were tiny, every little bit helps, especially as I could get most of what I want to buy from one place, I like that they restock (helpful when I only place a couple of orders a year), I've liked all their private label products I've tried, and their international shipping is really reasonable.

Not chinagirl but I’m an Aussie pea and I shop at the following:

Craftonline.com.au (bi weekly sales so sign up to the newsletter and keep a wish list, large range, not the cheapest but get a lot of brands in)
Scrapboutique (smaller range, have up to 40% off sales like one at the moment that ends on 30 June, I buy all my 12x12 doodlebug albums here during their sales)
Scrapdragon (lots of lawn fawn, fills in gaps of others, also have sales on semi regular basis)

If you google scrapbooking and search by Australian sites I’ve pretty much bought from all of them over the years and have had no issues 😁

Basically whoever has what I want and at the cheapest price gets an order from me

Sorry to butt in but wanted to pass on about the sale at scrapboutique just in case they had something you were after 🤗

I mostly use Scrapboutique, but like lg I’ve bought from a lot of the Aussie online stores. The only thing I wish she did is more collections with paper by the sheet, a lot of the collections she carries, especially things like SS and Pinkfresh, are only available in collection packs/paper pads.

Thanks. It is hard to find those single sheets. I am lucky enough to have a LSS, but they usually only get a handful of the single sheets in any given collection, and sometimes only paper pads, which is why I still do a lot of my shopping from SB.com.

I usually Preorder at ACOT rather than wait for the products to come in the store because with their Preorder you get 20% off.
