Fashion at Your Fingertips
Have you been bitten by the online shopping bug yet? While some consumers prefer to examine their potential purchases in person (raises hand), even the most hesitant convert can benefit from online shopping. For those with hectic schedules, online shopping can be a real time saver. Online stores don’t have line-ups and are open 24/7 which means you can shop for a new pair of pumps while wearing your favourite fluffy slippers. Even tactile shoppers who like examining fabrics and trying on clothes before purchase can benefit from the convenience of online shops. I usually check out the new merchandise from a few of my favourite retailers online and only make a point of heading in when I see something I might want to add to my wardrobe. I find that this practise helps me to make fewer impulse purchases.
