subject: Easy And Convenient Virtual Shopping Malls Online [print this page] Recently I came across a survey done by Nielsen, India that stated that India is the 3rd. biggest nation when it comes to online shopping and using a credit card online. Survey also shown that 85% of Internet users in the world are purchasing goods or services online, with credit cards as the most used method of payment. Shopping online has many advantages. Online shopping is convenient, so you don't have to wait in a queue to checkout especially in this scorching heat.
Now you simply go to your favourite mall or store online, do a quick search for what you're looking for, find what you want, place it in your cart, pay via credit card or internet banking, and you are done.
You can find anything and everything on shopping sites you ever want to buy. From small things like birthday gifts, books and CDs to kitchen accessories, mobile phones, laptops and jewellery, everything can be bought online. Just like offline stores, you can find popular brands on online stores, e.g. nike shoes, HP laptops, Sony game consoles, the list goes on forever.
Another most popular reason why people buy online is the price. They have wider variety of stores to choose from, different options and better pricing. There are different price comparison sites from India, who make it easy for any buyer to compare the price and make correct decision. You have better chance of finding the same product or service, cheaper on the internet. Some online portals have special web discount coupons available, which can be used only for online purchase. Of course it is important to check websites' reliability, delivery options, delivery charges, after sales support, loyalty schemes and much more before buying from them.
Website security is one of the common concerns you will hear from Indian's mouth. People are afraid to give out their credit card information or bank details on the shopping portals, but according to one survey, giving out credit card information on secured website is more secured than giving out your card to waiter in a restaurant. It is highly possible that your credit card information can be stolen in a restaurant, but it is an issue of awareness. We are very much used to give out our personal information where it can be stolen easily, but we hesitate to give it out on secured sites. Although the trend is changing, we have increased number of online shoppers every year. People are more tech savvy and understand the technical issues.
All these factors may influence your decision for Shopping Online doing from an online shopping store.
