Shopping by instinct?? Harmful or Useful?

The study reveals that most of us shop at a time when it's not planned at all. For example, you are out to meet a friend and you plan out for shopping at the near by mall; or you have headed to the market to purchase something very specific, and it somehow turns out into a shopping night with so many bags lingering on to your shoulders. Reason whatsoever, the result is unexpected or unplanned expenditure.

Many households are of the opinion that they tend to buy better items at more profitable deals at times when they've actually not planned the trip. Once planned they either forget certain necessary items or tend to stick to only pre-planned products, even if their price is above the normal rates.

But many others say that, the visual appeal and the desire to own a specific product displayed intelligently on a store adds to the instinct to buy it and have it for no reason. This leads to unwanted expenditure, which they later regret heavily, once back to home.

No matter, which column you fall into, but instinct shopping (shopping just because you felt so - for any reason), is a major factor which the shoppers lean onto to get their sales up. Meanwhile, online shoppers tend to provide you better deals and offers where you don't see the product (only to get lured), instead prepare a list and log in just when you want to shop, just what you want.

Make your choice, but be careful before making any decision based on pure instincts. Happy Shopping!!! :)

This year, keep aside your apprehensions!

The digital world is full of possibilities. In such an era when every other minor to critical need is being fulfilled via web, you should be kidding when you say, ‘I have never shopped online’. It’s true that many people still cling to the apprehensions and speculations of placing an order without getting a feel of the product. But if that was the case, then following wouldn’t be true:

·         A popular online retail site claims to sell one product a minute in India

·         More than 85 per cent of Internet users in the world are purchasing goods or services online

·         India ranks third biggest e-shopping nation online today

·         The "top four" online shopping sectors are currently grocery (31 per cent), electronic items such as computers, televisions and gadgets (25 per cent), clothing and fashion items (21 per cent) and holidays (15 per cent).

·         Online food shopping is expected to double in next five years

The above data is just a glimpse of what online is doing to the shoppers round the globe. If you haven’t yet tried your hands on buying with just a click, it’s high time we say.

The stiff competition has not only led to great deals and offers, but also to quality products at par with what you see offline. You also need not worry about the ‘timely delivery’ issue, as that’s the arena where most of the online retailers are trying to cash in. A consumer is thus always on the advantage side with easy ordering and paying methods, great products and quick delivery – for almost anything you want – from a greeting card to your monthly groceries!
