 When consumers make purchases, they most often are swayed by something
 someone said to them substantially more than any ad. Many people ask
 around about something before they purchase to see if their friends or
 family have bought the item, and to get their recommendations on who to
 buy it from. Why don't individuals listen to advertisements?

 You can find anything online, anything meaning literally almost all you
 can visualize. Best part of it, you can purchase it and get it sent
 straight to your front-door. For the most part I buy clothing online, my
 favorite site is ModCloth.com. Because they don't have a storefront
 modCloth is a leader in online shopping, they entirely sell through their
 site. I think visiting their site for shopping is the better option though
 many shops offer both a brick and mortar place along with a website. Let
 me get into why I believe so.

 Shopping Online - Living in-the City
 Living in the city means you most probably have access to some, if not
 many stores to select from.  Autos aren't necessary once you stay so close
 to everything and have public transportation accessible; but a car is
 essential if you would like to shop, particularly if the store is across
 town or you could require a car depending on what you intend to purchase.
 Petco.com offers all their products on-line, and some at cheaper prices.
 Target.com is also a go-to of mine, for-all my baby's essentials, like
 diaper wipe refills.

 Shopping Online - Living inside the United States
 You stay within the nation, how delightful! You most likely have a car,
 but you probably don't have access to all the shops like those that live-
 in or near urban areas. Thats fine since they have made it so business
 marketing ([http://gangstreet.net/entry.php?18-Avoid-Time-Wasters-In-Your-
 Network-Marketing-Business http://gangstreet.net/entry.php?18-Avoid-Time-
 Wasters-In-Your-Network-Marketing-Business]) can come to you. Most places
 even ship to PO Boxes, conditioned upon the merchandise.

 This has to be one of my favourite things about shopping online over going
 to a brick and mortar location. The variety of products! Online, not only
 is there a variety of products (width) there is also greater choices of
 every product, such a different colors (depth) that simply can't be
 matched to a storefront location. This largely has to-do with space
 availablility. In a store only so much can be held at any given place, but
 anything you get online is held a warehouse. Generally, businesses have a
 main warehouse from where they ship everything purchased online. So even
 in case you choose to shop in a store and they are outside of the size or
 the shade you wanted, go to the site! Maybe you'll start shopping online
 more:)

 Take Your Sweet Time
 Therefore I can be indecisive.  Once I find some thing I like I
 occasionally can't determine if I actually like it, want it or need it. I
 need time to think about it, especially with garments or even a duvet
 cover, not so much with products like dog food or baby wipes. Shopping
 online allows you to set things on a wish list or in your shopping cart.
 You can always come back to these items, and so long as you are signed in
 to your account the items will always be there when you come back. Being
 in a store nearly gives me stress, not because I'm agoraphobic, but I feel
 rushed and selections have to be made. Online I will purchase them
 tomorrow and look at products now, no rush!

 No Annoying Sales Associates
 I value the assistance when I need it, but don't care for the sales people
 always asking questions to me, so close they make me feel they arrived
 alongside them to go shopping. I understand they are doing their job, but
 I enjoy when they leave me only but remain approachable so if I do need
 them they're accessible. This is just how it's online, they are a click,
 email or even phone call away to assist you with anything you may have
 questions about.

 Avoid People All Together
 I like people, but not in large crowds. Sometimes you rather just not have
 to talk to anyone. Shopping online is just one of the easiest solution to
 avoid people or crowds, particularly great for vacations and weekends. Why
 does anyone even go anywhere on Black Friday anymore? Most leading
 companies use Cyber Monday to offer the same deals on-line, and I have
 discovered Cyber Monday generally continues through the week. I love to
 even order pizza on-line, it cuts out having to talk to somebody on the
 phone.

 Since I think about it, I probably do most my shopping late night. The
 website is never closed so wether you're a night owl or even a morning
 person (the really early morning person, you early stores aren't even open
 but) you can are awake so shop whenever you want!! No need to watch for
 the

 Shipping Costs vs Fuel Costs
 Shopping online usually includes having to pay-for shipping.  You may be
 saving yourself money by remaining at home and shopping instead of growing
 in your car and driving yet much you need to go. A lot of websites even
 offer free shipping on orders totaled over a specific dollar amount such
 as $50, $75 or $100. Before checking out I always Google coupons or
 discounts for the unique site due to the fact that you can sometimes
 qualify for things like free shipping or discounts.

 Waiting For the Package
 This must be the most fun part about internet shopping, and friends of
 mine have said the same! When I was pregnant with my son I was receiving
 bundles all the time; things I was buying for the infant and things people
 were sending me from what they purchased off my baby registry. It is just
 like a present, getting a package has consistently been exciting.
