Convenience

Customers love the convenience of being able to shop from their homes whenever they are ready. They don’t have to worry about what time stores clothes or fight heavy traffic or nasty weather. They can research products they are interested in and compare prices much faster than they could traveling from store to store.

Affordability

With competition come sales, sales, and more sales. Online retailers hold sales and promotions just like their brick and mortar counterparts do. Customers know this and often get items cheaper than they would in their local store. Even with shipping charges added to the tally, since the customer isn’t spending money on gas, it really isn’t that big a deal for most customers.

Choice

No matter where customers live, they can shop at stores that don’t exist for hundreds of miles in their brick and mortar world. Customers who live in small towns or mid-size cities suddenly have a plethora of stores at their fingertips. Never before could a customer living in small town, USA hope to shop at Macy’s without taking a vacation or traveling perhaps hundreds of miles. In addition, customers can shop internationally from their homes as well. Never before has shopping been so easy, so convenient, or so much fun!

Other Interests
