new commercial strategy and explain why I believe that the advantages of online shopping are outweighed by its negatives when it comes to convenience. One disadvantage is online shopping is less safe.

This

is because

clients

are exposed to cyber attacks as they are asked for their personal information while doing the payment steps.

This

can be unsafe as criminals build fake stores aiming to collect personal data. To illustrate,

this

happened

last

month with

clients

of Aleatory, a casual-clothes store, when hackers stole their money from their bank account. What’s more, clothes and shoes buyers cannot wear items that they are looking at on the screen to try if it fits and suits them. The chance of choosing the wrong size or an uncomfortable piece is huge. One advantage is that it is tremendously convenient to use the

this

is because

internet

users can save money by comparing price tags among online stores, checking which one has the lower cost just in a few minutes.

In addition

, companies can expose a larger variety of goods and services in the clouds, when it is compared to a concrete built store.

Furthermore

, there is time flexibility for shopping on the

internet

as

clients

can browse at any time, 24 hours per day, seven days a week, independent of commercial hours.

As a result

,

this

amplifies not only the types of

clients

but

also

the consumers’ options, increasing sales and being convenient to

clients

. In conclusion, I think the advantages of the technological option outweigh the disadvantages in reason by its time convenience and likeliness to do a more suitable and affordable buying.
