Not only vendors, if we talk about brands and their outlets as well, but the e-commerce websites also help their customers to connect with various brand outlets in a single place which is their own website making it easy for everyone to shop. Now, The same situation of not getting a particular apparel applies with the brands as well, if someone is looking for something in particular (be it for a particular size, or a particular colour they want) and is not able to find it on a particular website, they would always have that option to choose from a different website which would help the customers connect to a different outlet of the same brand.

Therefore, when you shop on e-commerce websites, you get access to almost unlimited products to choose from which makes it a very prominent reason for the e-commerce culture to boom.

Starting with the convenience of the customers, all they have to do is clicks to get their favourite items delivered to their doorsteps. Shopping for netizens have never been so easy like it is in these times. Many things have played an important role in this turnover of offline shopping to online shopping but convenience for both parties plays a very major part in it. With the leverage in the time, individuals spend on the internet, e-commerce businesses have become a great place of marketing as well which in turn generates employment. In comparison to offline shopping, the customers are being given the easiest and premium experience with the help of e-commerce businesses.

On the other hand, if we talk about website owners, the convenience of the owners have also increased. All they have to take care of now is that the product is getting delivered to the right location with the right precautions being taken as the rest of the things is done by the website like choosing of the items any customer wants to buy, choosing the vendor from where the customers want to buy, etc. Another difference which can be seen for the owners is that in the case of offline shops, one had to manage and pay numerous bills that included, land tax, electricity bill, water tax, etc. but now, all they have to do is pay the charge of the domain they buy for their websites and done, no other charges are applied while running an e-commerce store.

 

 

4:- Custom Experience:-

How many times is it that you go to an offline shop and get to choose the clothes or appliances with a very wide variety of clothes and appliances to choose from? But when it comes to online shopping, you get to choose between numerous products giving you a very custom experience that adds up to the fruitful experience of an individual. While shopping online, the website owners do their best to give every customer a very tailored experience that attracts the audiences more.
