1. Convenience. Convenience
is the biggest perk. Where else can you comfortably shop at midnight while in
your pajamas? There are no lines to wait in or cashiers to track down to help
you with your purchases, and you can do your shopping in minutes. Online shops
give us the opportunity to shop 24/7, and also reward us with a ‘no pollution’
shopping experience. There is no better place to buy informational products
like e-books, which are available to you instantly, as soon as the payment goes
through. Downloadable items purchased online eliminate the need for any kind of
physical material at all, as well, which helps the environment!
2. Better prices. Cheap deals
and better prices are available online, because products come to you direct
from the manufacturer or seller without involving middlemen. Plus, it's easier
to compare prices and find a better deal. Many online sites offer discount
coupons and rebates, as well. Not only are prices better, but you
can save on tax as well, since online shops are only required to collect a
sales tax if they have a physical location in your state. Factor in the saved
expense of gas and parking and you have saved yourself a lot of money!
3. More variety. The choices
online are amazing. You can find almost any brand or item you're looking for.
You can get in on the latest international trends without spending money on
airfare. You can shop from retailers in other parts of the state, country, or
even world instead of being limited to your own geography. A far greater
selection of colors and sizes than you will find locally are at your disposal.
Plus, the stock is much more plentiful, so you'll always be able to find your
size and color. Some online shops even accept orders for out-of-stock items and
ship when they come in.
4. You can send gifts
more easily. Sending gifts to relatives and friends is easy, no matter where
they are. All the packaging and shipping is done for you. Oftentimes, they'll
even gift wrap it for you! Now, there is no need to make distance an excuse for
not sending a gift on occasions like birthdays, weddings, anniversaries,
Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and so forth.
5. More control. Many times, when
we opt for conventional shopping, we tend to spend a lot more than planned and
end up buying items that aren't exactly what we wanted (but we can't find
anything better in the store). Online, you don't have to let the store's
inventory dictate what you buy, and you can get exactly what you want and need.
6. Easy price
comparisons. Comparing and researching products and their prices is so much
easier online. If you're shopping for appliances, for example, you can find
consumer reviews and product comparisons for all the options on the market,
with links to the best prices. We can research firsthand experience, ratings,
and reviews for most products and retailers.
7. No crowds. If you are
like me, you hate crowds when you're shopping. Especially during holidays,
festivals, or on weekends, they can be such a huge headache. Also, being
crushed in the crowds of shoppers sometimes makes us feel rushed or hurried.
You don't have to battle for a parking place. All of these problems can be
avoided when you shop online.
8. No pressure. Oftentimes
when we're out shopping, we end up buying things that we don't really need, all
because shopkeepers pressure us or use their selling skills to compel us to
make these purchases.
9. You can buy used or
damaged items at lower prices. The marketplace on the Internet
gives us access to listings of old or damaged items at rock bottom prices.
Also, if we want to buy antiques, there's no better place to find great ones.
10. Discreet purchases
are easier. Some things are better done in the privacy of your home. Online
shops are best for discreet purchases for things like adult toys, sexy lingerie,
and so on. This enables us to purchase undergarments and lingerie without
embarrassment or any paranoia that there are people watching or judging.
