In the past shopping was a routine domestic task. Many people nowadays regard it as a hobby. To what extent do you think this is a positive trend?

Nowadays shopping is classified as a hobby

instead

of a routine task. Which is true and have a variety of benefit to local stores and the country's economy. In my perspective, I think it is one of the best hobbies unless you are in debt.

First

of all, the trend of shopping has been booming since 2018, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. The customer boosted sales rates and companies' revenues by tripling.

This

is because online shopping platforms have become more popular and reliable

such

as Amazon, Lazada, Aliexpress, and etc. They allow internet users to easily access the products across the globe with an offer of fast delivery, making the country's economy flow efficiently by trading with other countries.

Moreover

,

this

trend helps small businesses and stores to get more mass by customers' reviews. From the University of the People, USA, they made business research,

as a result

, they found out that during the pandemic time many small startups that are sold online have increased their profit by 150% per year.

This

also

unlocked their company from local to the region or global in only a few years.

In addition

, supporting

this

local store will make unemployed citizens have more job opportunities to work and it will decline the percentages of homeless people.

As a result

, in my perspective from changing shopping to ,hobby there are a lot more benefits including help local, and country's economy.

However

, the significant thing to mention is to purchase the products wisely and consider the amount of money that you spent each month or else you might be in dept.
