The growth of online shopping will one day lead to all shops in town and cities closing. Do you agree or disagree?

#growth #shops #town #cities
Whether we like it or not, we live in a digital era, and the accessibility of the internet has revolutionized our world. It transformed many facets of our lives from working to shopping. In
this
 regard, some are of the opinion that conventional shopping will have completely replaced by online shopping sooner or later. I agree with
this
 hypothesis and
this
 essay tends to support it.
Customers
 play a pivotal role in shopping. Ther are the leaders who can make significant differences in any
shop
. Concerning shopping, online shopping has brought tremendous convenience to their life. Thanks to online shopping, they can
shop
 at any time which is suitable for them. Apart from that, gone are the days when people were only confined to their neighbouring shops. Now they are able to buy products they need from a
shop
 in another country.
Moreover
, they can read bazillion reviews and shortlist goods of high quality without leaving their house. These reasons may lead to disappearing conventional shopping. Shopkeepers and
owners
 nowadays tend to sell their products online rather than sitting in their
shop
 and waiting for long hours for possible
customers
 to enter the
shop
. The price of decorating and running a
shop
 is very high due to the exorbitant price of land and the utilities.
This
 lower cost of running an online
shop
 results in lower product prices which in turn attracts more
customers
 and brings more revenue for the
owners
.
Furthermore
, online advertising is cheaper than other types of advertising and
as a result
,
owners
 can attract more
customers
 with a lower price. In conclusion,
although
 many people would argue
this
 idea, I assume that concerning shopping, conventional shopping is fighting a losing battle. Whether we like it or not, online shopping will take the lead of shopping as it is beneficial for
customers
 as well as the
owners
.
