In an effort to make quoting international shipping more seamless we have enhanced the listings to be able to show a table of rates by country.
Overview
Offering international shipping is a key way to capture larger group events. While international shipments are a small overall percentage of our shipments (~3%) there is an international shipment on over 17% of shipped events and those events are a larger average group size and booking value. The most common situation being a mostly US group with a couple international people.
By not offering international shipping you could be excluding your event from consideration of those groups.
To help prioritize which countries should be prioritized in providing shipping rates we have quantified our international shipping destinations by % of international shipments below.
