What are the advantages of online shopping?
There are some inherent advantages when you shop online. Here are a few:
1. Saves you time - you do not need to go out of the house or office if you have a specific item in mind. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you are done shopping and can proceed to doing other stuff that you need to attend to.
2. Saves fuel - shopping at the comfort of your home/office means you do not add up to travel costs specially during peak traffic hours.
3. Saves energy - what I mean here is your energy; you do not need to go to physical stores and walk around looking for the item that you need.
4. Compare prices - you could check out different online stores to find the best price of the product that you need.
5. 24/7 availability - most online shops are available 24/7 so you can shop anytime.
6. No need to wait in lines - do I need to explain further? Try physical shopping during holiday seasons.
7. Anonymity - there are products you will be ashamed to buy if you go to a physical store. Online shopping keeps you anonymous.
8. Searching for the items you need is easy - just use the SEARCH feature of the site.
9. Prices could be lower - most online shops do not maintain physical stores which make their overhead costs lower.
10. Information and reviews - online shops provide venues for customer reviews and also supplement the product sales page with photos to give the customer an informed choice.
