Online shopping or traditional shopping. What do you prefer?
Well, both have their advantages and disadvantages. Where traditional shopping is
about searching for the whole market and time consuming, online shopping is
much time-saving. You can shop anything from anywhere at any time. The plus
point tradition shopping has is you can experience the product in real-time
before buying. But in online shopping you can’t guess either the quality is
good or not, what you can only do is reading and trusting other buyer’s
feedback.
One more difference is the online stores appealingly
presents the products and exaggerate its qualities to capture the buyer’s attention.
But in the market, the real product is Infront of you and sometimes poor
presentation may decrease its value. But the advantage is the consumer can’t
prank you with fake products.
Safety issues are also there if you shop from any
international store. Where you need to provide your credit card information. You
may lose all your account balance if someone hacks your personal details during
the transaction. The solution is to consider Cash on delivery option. The trust
issue is one more and big factor. You never know what is inside the box before opening
it. While in traditional shopping this is not a big deal. You can touch and experience
the product before buying. Its like product speaks for itself.
Well, both type of shopping has its own pros and cons. You
can shop in both ways depending on your experience and perspective.
Increase in Online shopping trend in COVID-19 pandemic
COVID-19 outbreak highly affected the whole world. Due to
this global pandemic, everyone is bound to their homes for safety. Where the
economy of every country is affected badly, the trend of online shopping is at
its peak around the globe. Although online shopping is common in Pakistan, in
the last few months during the lockdown, it became more popular. Slight
flexibility has announced in lifting the lockdown by the government but people
are still afraid to go out and risk their lives for the sake of shopping.
During the lockdown, analyzing the need of time, many
pharmacies and small stores start providing the facility of delivering products
to your doorstep. This made people think of online shopping too. E-commerce
business is growing day by day. It is a good idea to have a startup like this
but also needs hard work and proper time.
Eid festival is about to come which has increased online
shopping ratio in Pakistan. Where many people are preferring online shopping
many are afraid of online scams. There are many trusted online stores of famous
brands which are providing quality products but still, people are afraid due to
their worse experiences especially with clothes shopping. For Eid dress
shopping I would suggest you take a look at Pakistan’s famous brands' online
stores like Khaadi, Alkaram Studio, Nishat linen etc. You can trust branded
stores and can shop for Eid by staying at home. Stay home and stay safe.
Starting your online store
You can also start an online store through social media
account like Oriflame. They have thousands of house ladies working for them by
promoting and selling products through social media pages and groups. Many
house ladies in Pakistan are also selling clothes from home and running a successful
business. It requires investment to start any business but once you know how to
do it. Things get smooth and you can earn more than you invest.
Considering the current situation two Pakistani graduated
from GIKI also participated in this race with their newly launched online store
named as shoppingum.com. They display products from different stores around
Pakistan with there full details. They integrate products from 210 online
stores under one roof. So you can view each product from different stores and
compare them. Take a look at their store, it holds a large variety of products and
many options.
We all can do amazing things all we need is motivation and
an idea.
