Pros And Cons Of Online Shopping

Shopping has become a daily activity which happens a billion times in America and around the world. We cannot imagine how our lives would be affected if shopping was suddenly stopped. Malcolm Gladwell and Anne Norton both write articles about two sides of modern day shopping: how consumers have impacted the retail industry and how the industry influences consumers. In the article " The Science of Shopping," Malcolm Gladwell, a well-known writer and journalist, analyzes the shopping behaviors of customers and how retailers can lure customers; while Anne Norton, a professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania, in

As we enter a new generation, shoppers are gearing toward online and mobile shopping, which contributes to the extinction of shopping malls. America reached a time period where the number of adults who were born in a time where online shopping was not thought of are retiring; resulting in old habits, such as shopping in malls, coming to a cease. The older generation of adults tend to revert back to familiar habits such as shopping at malls or going to a bookstore. The new generation of adults/teenagers do not use shopping malls as a hangout spot in contrast to older generation, thus leading to the decline of shopping malls. Other than shopping, shopping malls were once used for socializing. However, with the increase of social networks

Worldwide online shopping has been increasing considerably by nearly $100 billion in the US and Europe from 2014 to 2017 (Prashar, Vijay and Parsad 2016, p28). The issue of whether it is beneficial to the society or not has been discussing recently. Some people say that it is disadvantageous due to risks in transaction and security, however, others believe that online shopping offers convenience, business, and many other benefits. It is an important and interesting topic because not only does it have influence over the society but also the development of the economy. This essay will argue that the advantages of online shopping dominate over its drawbacks.

When heading to the local mall, we don’t stop and think about all the different types of people we will be seeing as we walk down the aisles of our favorite shops. We figure out what we need or what it is that we need to look for and we don’t look back until all of the shopping is complete. Never have I ever stopped to think about what everyone else might be doing there, until now. It is very important for us to understand what types of situations, people may be in and why they act the way they do when at the town shopping mall.

The traditional retail market has been transformed by technological advances. The internet today has allowed consumers to purchase various products from home ranging from apparel to groceries. The online shopping market has grown significantly within the past decade, leading to many online e-commerce startups such as Amazon, eBay, and mobile start-ups such as Instacart. While e-commerce provides convenience for shopping, it has created major disruption to the traditional shopping industries. Traditional retailers have since faced bankruptcy due to their inability to compete with such start-ups. The traditional American toy store, Toys R Us, announced its state of bankruptcy just last month due to a significant decline in sales. More and more consumers are turning to online giants such as Amazon to purchase daily items as a result of convenience. According to the Washington Post, Toys R Us is just one of more than 300 retailers to file for bankruptcy this year, as Americans ditch the shopping mall in favor of their laptops, smartphones, and tablets (Bhattarai, 2017). Shopping which used to require walking or a vehicle trip to stores is no longer required for consumers with online shopping.

For consumers whom have busy lives and those whom are physically disabled, online shopping is a positive

Online shopping has made life a lot easier and less complicated, not to forget that it also is a time saver. But with every good, there’s the bad. The advantages of online shopping on Amazon is that it’s convenient for lazy people, they can order what they want without actually stepping out of the house, it’s less time consuming, cheaper than what’s in stores and it offers a lot of choices, trusted reviews and it sometimes offers products that are no longer in shop racks or products that don’t have a shop and only operate online and with a CEO like Jeff Bezos there is no such thing as a bad review about the service that is offered, simply because he believes that all their customers should be treated in a very high manner. Delay of delivery is a disadvantage, you’re not given an exact duration of when or how long the delivery of your order and many more disadvantages will be further discussed.

There are many things that make us human, such as language, love, and labor markets. In this modern age of technological progress, little has been spared the sweeping change that technology brought.

There are various advantages to embracing the era of buying online, such as spatial convenience and information transparency, along with several potential disadvantages, such as monetary theft and subpar service.

Very little proportion of the Indian retail industry is organized. The supply and the distribution side are very much fragmented, that is, there is a huge tail towards the supply side of the chain. There are two possible options available to aggregate the supply, one by allowing the suppliers to list out onto an area where there is maximum demand. The other possibility is to carry inventory, where most of the supply side is controlled by the small suppliers. It is very hard to hold the inventory for any local or international brands because it will lead to increase the cost.

The rise of online shopping has brought a new pillar to consumerism moving from drugstores to malls to the mailbox and finally online.
