Online Shopping- Why Should I?

In today’s era, the war between online retail and offline retail is something to ponder on. The Internet age has brought about a revolution in the retail industry by introducing the trend of online shopping. While this trend is rapidly catching on, there are many who still feel that the conventional way of shopping is more satisfactory since it has that ‘touch and feel’ benefit. So the question arises – ‘What is it about online shopping that is making it so popular?’ Let’s find out.

1. Cheaper: Whatever is available offline, it is present on online stores too but at discounted prices. Sale or no sale, online stores always offer goods at prices lesser than their value in the market. Offers, combo packages and discounts are available online 365 days of the year, making your purchase pocket - friendly.

2. Ease of access: If you wish to shop for a particular brand which has an outlet far away on the other side of town, you will have to travel to the place. But online stores can be accessed from anywhere, at anytime. All you need is internet connectivity and a computer, laptop or smartphone etc.

3. Numerous products, multiple stores and brands: Online customers have the benefit of having access to various different styles and designs even when there is a sale. If you have to shop for the whole family, you can easily switch from one page or one website to another in search of the products instead of flitting from store - to - store when purchasing goods from the mall.

4. No more crowds: At festival and end of season sale times, the marketplaces and malls are completely overcrowded with people fighting for a chance to get to their favourite products and buy them before they run out of stock. So, switch to online shopping to avoid crowds and shop easily and peacefully.
