Marc Ashley brought huge news to the stage last weekend with the announcement of the Emerging Markets Program, GLOBAL.SHOP.COM, and amazing SHOP.COM updates headed our way in the months ahead. If you had not realized it already, believe it now: we are a worldwide sensation!
To stay up the speed with our globally viral business, SHOP.COM added several features so that any country can share in the success we experience here. One of the most accommodating and game changing features includes a partnership with Bongo International. With Bongo International, international shoppers can create local US and European addresses to have their shipments mailed and consolidated, cutting shipping fees.
Shoppers can subscribe to Bongo by searching Bongo on SHOP.COM , CA.SHOP.COM, MX.SHOP.COM, UK.SHOP.COM, AU.SHOP.COM, HK.SHOP.COM, and TW.SHOP.COM. The customer must also come through the SHOP.COM portal to earn their Cashback and IBV when shopping. Once a shopper signs up for a Bongo account, they will choose if they want an United States or European address and use that Bongo assigned address as their shipping address when making purchases from US stores through SHOP.COM.
Bongo offers a variety of subscriptions depending on the sales volume that the shopper expects. When a package arrives in the warehouse, Bongo sends an email to the shopper and asks if the shopper would like their package shipped or wait for other packages to arrive so that the shopping can cut shipping fees by consolidating orders.
International shoppers can use their Bongo address for AutoShip, as well. Bongo allows you as an Independent Shop Consultant to expand your customer base internationally and earn more IBV. Keep in mind, however, that certain products sold on SHOP.COM cannot be shipped to certain countries because of restrictions, so be sure to check.
International shoppers can check transit times for their location here, shipping fees for their location here, a duty and tax calculator here, and an exchange rate calculator here.
Bongo International is a company that gives you, the Shop Consultant, more incentive to build internationally, because you have the solution! As EMP Markets expand and MPCP break down barriers to international business building, Bongo International intercepts the barriers between consumer and product.
We are excited to see how Bongo helps you build your business. Be sure to send us testimonials of your success with Bongo to socialmedia@marketamerica.com!
