While, the rest of the world has been enjoying this hassle free mode of shopping for quite a long, we just got acquainted some years back.
Surprisingly, according to NTA 20 million Nepalese are connected to internet, which is roughly around 70% of the total population. As the mobile penetration rate increases, this data is set to leap by bounds. Well, that is definitely an interesting read and seems we are on the right path.
It’s not that I completely hate the conventional shopping. I do enjoy going out for shopping. You know, it’s quite fun walking along with friends, checking around the shop, engaging in some window shopping and just having a good day.
But, then most of the days, we are just tired due to the hectic schedules and myriads of other priorities. So, what do we do; we hop on to the mobile shopping train.
Online shopping is getting popular day in and day out. The top benefits might be difficult to pin out, but let’s go through 5 of them which are really worth applauding for:
1. Convenience
Convenience makes on the top of the chart, every time we talk about the benefits of online shopping.
Imagine, you slouching on your couch with a computing device of your choice flipping through hundreds of option from the comfort of your home; isn’t it what convenience is all about?
On top of that, we can shop at our own convenience 24/7. No queues at the counter, no hassles of walking through different sections and no tensions of running around with the bulky cart through corridors. Most of all, our precious time is saved. Remember, in this dynamic age; time is money.
2. Opinions/ Reviews of other Buyers
Most of the online platform lets the verified buyer add their opinions and reviews about the product. This makes it easier for potential buyers to finalize their buying decisions.
Since, we can’t see and feel the product physically in online shopping; the reviews left by the previous buyers gives an idea as to what can be expected.
Seller ratings, buyers’ reviews and the product ratings all provides enough evidence to understand how the product is going to be.
3. Product Variety
There is always limitation of inventories in physical stores. Even if the inventories might be plentiful, there shall always be problem with sizes, models and varieties.
In contrast, online stores are shrouded with choices. You shall be able to find items in all sorts of sizes, models and colours of your preference.
Even the out of stock items can be added to preferred list, whereby we would receive instant notification once the items are back to stock.
4. Competitive Pricing
Since the online stores don’t have to deal with tenacious rent and payrolls, their prices are always competitive and attractive.
They provide amazing discount and sales offer. We are also furnished with ample chance to compare the prices between different sellers. As buyers or consumers, we always have major advantage in regard to price.
5. Ability to Send Gifts
Thanks to the online shopping, sending gifts to celebrate special occasion has been much easier.
Neither distance, nor our memory has to be blamed anymore for failing to keep up with celebrations. These days, we can send gifts to our loved ones to any part of the world through online shopping.
If it’s hard to memorise those special events, we can easily keep reminder in the preferred sites of our choice at our convenience and get the gifts delivered on the date of occasion.
Personally, I have been very grateful to this service as I am very bad with dates.
