I will always choose online shopping to physical shops because of these online shopping advantages.

Convenience

Online is the new retail trend because of its convenience. First of all, you don’t need to get out of your comfort zone to make a purchase. With the help of the internet, using a smartphone or a computer, buying can be done in your kitchen while making dinner for your family or watching your favorite tv show at your own convenient time. The stress of joining queues at the store is now a thing of the past due to online shopping.

Discreet Purchasing

Online shopping helps consumers to purchase products without judgement from shop attendants or even other customers which on the contrary would have happened in physical shops. The confidence of customers to purchase items like sex toys, lingerie and other very personal items have increased since there is no physical contact during online shopping.

Variety 

With online shopping, customers have a wide range of stores and also a wide range of brands to choose from just by clicking from one shop to another. I can’t imagine the stress of moving from one physical shop to another in search of a brand when it is easier to find them online. 

Better Prices

It may seem surprising that online shops offer better prices than physical shops. This is because most online shops usually skip the chain of middlemen and get their goods from manufacturers directly. Also there are discount periods especially during holidays like Christmas, Easter, thanksgiving, black Friday and Halloween.  

No Impulse Buying

Physical stores encourage impulse buying especially when you do not get what you want but for online stores, you can just switch to the next shop by a click till you finally get what you want. The temptation to buy other items is not present because you know you will surely get your required item.

No Retailer Interference

During the process of online shopping, there is no interference from the retailer. It is just you and your item. You are able to make your own decisions without retailers recommending or suggesting other items to you. On a few occasions during online shopping, some suggestions may pop up on your screen but it can be ignored.

Even though everyone is moving online to shop, there is no physical crowd, contrary to what is observed when a multitude moves to a physical shop. On holidays, the physical shop is not for you if you hate crowds. Gifting items this holiday can also be easily done online by ordering and leaving the receiver’s address for delivery. Online shopping has made shopping very easy.
