With the trend of purchasing everything over the internet, and
similarly
Linking Words
its rapid growth will cause all the offline markets in the smaller places be gone soon in the future.
Firstly
Linking Words
, I would say that yes, it has a huge impact on the way shopping is being done, and it had made a drastic impact over the customers of the local shops. Because it's very convenient to just pick up a cell phone and start exploring everything and anything.
For example
Linking Words
: Now literally every one a smart phone and internet, now they just need to browse whatever they want to purchase or order and that's is, it's done. No hassle of looking for a store and
then
Linking Words
going to that place and
then
Linking Words
exploring lots of items and even sometime not getting what you are looking for after so much of efforts could be overwhelming.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, If I talk about the perks of offline shops, well, certainly there are pros of these things as well,
for instance
Linking Words
, I have seen many people complaining that if the thing that they purchased online, doesn't work well, they have a hard time replacing it or returning it due to various reasons. But if
that is
Linking Words
the case with offline markets,
then
Linking Words
certainly it's a big plus as you can approach that person directly and tell your concerns especially if
that is
Linking Words
a known person. And
also
Linking Words
sometimes delivery is a very big concern, no matter how good that online platform is, it cannot gratify the essence of spending money and feeling that thing in hand immediately rather than waiting for two to three days, sometimes even a week to get that thing for which you are longing for. So to conclude, I would restate that there is no denying the fact that online shopping has impcated the markets and vendors, but still there are certian things which can't be resplicated by online like feeling the cloth quality before purchasing, instant gratification of getting the thing and other things that I disucssed above, local shops will remain in the business
although
Linking Words
the trends have shifted but it will never be depleted.
