PART 3
What are the advantages and disadvantages of online shopping?
The advantages would be that it’s more convenient and saves loads of time,
avoiding those
dreaded (terrible) lines. Furthermore, sites like Amazon tend to
have
secondhand (used) items, so you can save a lot of money this way. The
negatives are that you cannot try clothing on before, sometimes items
don’t look
the same in person, the shipping fees, and the time you have to wait for the item.
By the same token, it’s a
hassle (annoyance) to send it back if there’s an issue.
So, all in all, there are more disadvantages,
I’d say.
Do you think it is safe to shop online?
Depends on the site. If you use a reputable
one like Amazon or the
store’s
website, it is generally very safe. However, buying from private sellers online,
especially in their homes, can be risky. Furthermore, scams always exist online,
so you never know if someone could be scamming you. I always say, if you have
time, it’s better to go buy the item in person to gain more trust in the purchase.
To what extent do you think advertising affects the way people shop?
The primary purpose of advertising is to inform
potential customers about a
product and it can augment the revenue of the company. People get influenced
by
these ads, and they
end up buying things, which they do not really require.
Do you think shopping habits are likely to change in the future?
Although most people believe that online shopping
would further get popular, I
believe that online shopping would reduce. For the last 18 months,
most people
have been confined in their houses and now they just want to get out. Thus,
there is a high probability that online shopping would reduce.
