2. What's in it for me, my site and my visitors?
Since our prices are far lower than other online merchants, our visitor-to-sale conversion rate is high. Our average invoice is high too -- about 3 times Amazon's and 2.5 times eBays according to Jupiter Communications analysis. Higher average ticket + higher conversions = greater commission for you! And, Overstock's "Lowest Price Guarantee" ensures that our customers are always paying the lowest price for our products |
