Whether you’re a shopaholic or a coupon queen, finding the easiest way to get a deal is always priority number one. Recent times in society have called for the need of some things. We needed new and improved ways to buy your life’s necessities. Before, we needed ways to buy exotic or local products and merchandise. As humans we need ways to get around our long days and busy schedules, which let’s be real here, is pretty hard. So as time goes on and our innovations get even more innovative, we create platforms that we can use to our advantage. Online shopping has become one of the biggest turning points in our economy. It helps bring in and circulate money from all over. Shopping online pushes the flow of products going in and out of the states and country. There’s nothing like finding a great deal on something that was sold somewhere else for almost triple the price. All the sales and convenient online shopping makes it obvious why buying through the web has blown up in the past few generations.
Now after all the hype about shopping online, you’d think there would be a special day for it; A bit like Black Friday. This day is very well know as the day following Thanksgiving in the United States. It has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season and most major retailers open very early to offer promotional sales. Cyber Monday on the other hand is a marketing term for the Monday after Thanksgiving Day. The phrase “Cyber Monday” was created by marketing companies to persuade people to shop online. Cyber Monday has become a world wide marketing term used by international online retailers. Shoppers were so used to going out of their way for Black Friday. They put all their effort into finding those amazing deals all around at almost all stores. So of course, something that is in the comfort of their own home is amazing compared to rampaging into stores and malls with thousands of people.
Online stores and shopping have become a very great burden lifter for a lot of people. Some who may be a bit lazier than others, but never the less has helped. But for the people who have really needed something like online shopping, it has changed the way people live. People who are disabled or the elderly may not have the resources or ability to get themselves to the store everyday. They were in need of a lot of help with little to no way to improve it. Online shopping has become such a convenience for them that it goes to the extent of grocery shopping. Here in Lincoln, NE, the Hyvee stores haves systems for helping elderly, blind or disabled who need shop. All they have to do is go or call and fill out an order of what they want and either have it picked up or dropped off. It’s so simple yet it has such an impact. Food and groceries are something every person needs. It is a responsibility everyone is expected to take on. So having a way to buy the things you really need and not have to go through that daily or weekly struggle of making it to the store for the things you really need is uplifting.
Online shopping has changed the whole market from the moment it was invented. People are either buyers or shopping no matter what they do. It gives these people an outlet; It helps open up sales and opportunities to every kind of business. Little family owned stores or big outlet stores, no matter the size, their possibilities are seemingly endless. When shopping online pairs up with the delivery system it becomes such a powerful and useful tool. Certain online stores like Amazon and Ebay can get their products to their customers in merlay a day. Being very versatile like this has and always will benefit the seller’s greatly. These stores are getting good reviews which draws in more customers. It’s like an endless cycle of benefits, for both the buyers and sellers. There definitely isn’t a doubt about how much online shopping has made the buying market grow. Which will also continue to grow as the years go on, but for now, we get to just sit back and enjoy the little things.
