Everyone knows online shopping based on internet and its very popular in this century. Online shopping is the process where the customer buy any goods or services from a seller without conecting with the seller face to face. There is many online shopping web for example, www.lelong.com.my , www.ebay.com.my, and else. The numerous benefits of shopping by online make more people these days prefer to online shopping over conventional shopping. There are many reasons why i think online shopping is the best too.
The reason why i think online shopping is the best is the choices you can get for products are amazing. One can get several brands and products from different sellers at one place. You can get in on the latest international trends without spending money on airfare. When you shop online, you can shop from retailers in other parts of the country or even the world without being limited by geographic area. These stores offer a far greater selection of colors and sizes than you will find locally. Apart from that, How many times have it happened that you spend your money reaching a local shop only to find that the product you need is out of stock? Some online shops have a provision to accept orders without stock and ship it across to you when the stock becomes available. You also have the option of taking your business to another online store where the product is available.
Beside that, online shopping makes sending gifts to relatives and friends easy, no matter where ever they stay. Now there is no need of making distance an excuse for not sending a gift on occasions like Birthday, Wedding Anniversary, Marriage, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and any event.
Another thing which fascinates me is the cheap deals and better prices I get from online stores because products come to you direct from the manufacturer or seller without middlemen involved. Many online shops offer discount coupons and rebates. Apart from this, the Online Store is only required to collect sales tax if they have a physical location in our state even if we buy from a store across the world.
Although there are numerous advantages of shopping online, to the society as well as individuals, such as 24-hours access and absence of vendors, some negative concerns of online shopping can be reduced by efforts of Web makers. In order to attract more online customers, Web vendors need to gain trust from consumers by signaling privacy and security of their sites, such as by using third-party seal approval, and must allow consumers to use interactive tools such as 3D technology and else that will faciliate users in making their purchase decisions. Although these features will gather more consumers online, I agree with Lokken's study that shows, "traditional retail shopping will not be reduced or replaced by online shopping in the future" (Lokken et al., 2003). In addition to retail shops, thoughtful improvements of Web sites with consideration on consumers' persepective, online shopping will gain respect and trust by consumers and will be much more widely used than today to benefit both the society and individuals. Eventully, almost all consumers will adapt to the online shopping technology and will be able to enjoy the convenient, innovative way of shopping.
