The online shopping offers much better advantages than the traditional retail outlets. Apart from the regular e-commerce companies, there are quite a handful of e-commerce companies that operate as a marketplace where the retailers can also sell their inventory online. The payment is facilitated by large number of payment options like debit card, credit card, cash cards like the oxygen, itzcash etc apart from the innovative option like the cash on delivery. The cash on delivery option reduces the risk of the product being not delivered on time. To offer utmost convenience to customers, companies today are trying hard to deliver the orders within 24 hours.
Not just that, the retailers are also offering free shipping, free cash on delivery options and also offering freebies to customers who are willing to try out the new way of shopping. Social media too is playing an important role in the online shopping. With the reach of the internet, the consumers today who are in tier II or tier III towns have the same access to all the brands that were available to those who were in big cities & metros like Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore. Few years back, the purchase on internet was confined to just tickets. However, these days it is not just tickets but also in buying clothes, accessories, baby related products that are making a big contribution to the e-commerce industry. The touch and feel is no more an important factor when consumers buy apparels. Further the prices are in many cases, cheaper than the one in the regular retail outlets.
