Benefits of Buying Online
If you choose to buy online, you can take advantage of the following benefits.
Wider Range of Products
When you go to your local shopping centre to look for a certain product, you are restricted the range of products you can find there. You have a choice of buying whatever is available or going to another shopping centre and repeat the whole process again. On the other hand, if you looked online, there are no such geographical restrictions and this means a wider range of products to choose from.
More Comparison
Related to the first benefit, a wider range of products to choose from means that you can compare more products. This will only lead to a better decision being made in terms of price and quality.
Time & Money Efficient

Benefits Of Selling Online
If you choose to sell online, you can take advantage of the following benefits.
Bigger Market
If you were to only offer your product to the local market, you will restricting the amount of people who could buy it. Instead, by offering it to the world, you will have a much better chance of being able to sell it successfully.
Time & Money Efficient
Setting up a store in your local store can be quite expensive especially when it comes to the rent. That's without mentioning that it can take you weeks or even months before opening for business. On the other hand, setting up an online store is (most often) free and can be done within minutes.
More Competition
The bigger market online means that there is automatically more competition for your product which makes online auctions more rewarding. This leads higher prices for your product.
Higher Price
