traditional stores will always have their place in the market with the Rapid growth of the Internet Marketplace. over the

last

decade, online baby shopping uses has increased drastically. It can be extrapolated due to two irrefutable facts.

Firstly

, it has flourished due to the ascent of smartphone usage among the world which has robustly helped in the development of online shopping apps like Amazon and Flipkart, and through their introduction has become more convenient like never before.

secondly

, online Marketplace has made the pricing more aggressive and attractable for the benefit of customers, whereas, in earlier times, vicious traditional shopkeepers were manipulating their prices to earn more profit.

for example

, when I

also

of considerable amount.

moreover

, I had to travel at least 5 to 6 kilometres to get the pricing of the same phone. In a nutshell, online platforms have made shopping more convenient and pricing competitiveness is fair from the customer viewpoint.

, traditional shops have their own uniqueness which the virtual Marketplace can never offer

first

of all is by human touch which provides the value addition that we cannot find on the virtual platform.

for example

when I ask my father to buy our TV from Amazon he completely tarnished the idea, considering online product quality issues and warranty.

however

, even with the robust ascent of it, the traditional Store will always have their place in our lives because of the uniqueness and trust they provide is unparalleled with the virtual market.
