    1.   Shop at your convenience

 When it comes to traditional shopping, people usually go out on weekends for shopping. Whereas via online stores, one can shop online at any time of the day as per their convenience.

 One amazing advantage of online shopping that influences people to buy products online is that there is no pressure. One can take as much time as they want. 
 

2.    Comparison of prices – Easy

 

Many eCommerce platforms allow you to compare product prices of different sellers in just a few clicks. And even search engines make it easy for you to compare products while online shopping.
 

That’s not the case in offline shopping, there you have to spend money as well as time on traveling.
 
3.    Cost-friendly

 For getting traffic to their e-stores, online store owners lower their profit margin. That helps consumers in accessing better and cheaper deals online.
 
4.    Festive Offers
 

To encourage people to shop online, e-store owners offer festive and seasonal discounts. Be sure to take advantage of those offers.
 
5.    Wide Variety of products

 The major disadvantage of offline traditional shopping is the unavailability of a wider range of products. And that disheartens shoppers.

You can buy the latest trending products of your choice online easily. From a specific brand to the color/size of your preference, everything is available online.   
 

6.    Gifting option

 Just by sitting in one place, you can get gifts delivered to your loved one’s doorstep. Distance is no longer an issue these days.

No matter where your dear ones are, placing a gift is just a matter of a few clicks.
Moreover, personalized product gifting is easy online as compared to offline.
 
7.    Easy Returns
 

If you aren’t satisfied with the product you bought online, then returning the product is easy. 
 

Warning: This point is applicable only when there is a return policy mentioned on the website.
 
8.    No crowds
 

When you go shopping on weekends or special occasions, you encounter crowding at physical stores. And this can be avoided at online marketplaces.
 

Maintaining social distance (which is a necessity during these times) is not easy at physical stores.
