why shop online?


There are heaps and heaps of reasons why shopping online is a great solution for getting all the necessities you need for home and work.  The world is becoming a smaller and faster place to live, always changing, ever growing, but the two main reasons why more and more people are turning the internet for all their purchases are the same two things that have always been most important:-

simply, it's your time & money

These are the two pivotal things that start to reduce, as our level of 'busy', at work and home, steadily increase.  Is there an answer to combat these seemingly unavoidable changes in our lives?

Have you ever experienced a day, week or month in your life that just flew by and that you didn't actually get a chance to "get it all done"?  Have you ever run out of something you needed just before going to work, and now you have to go without?  Have you ever not found what you were looking for?

There is a solution, and it doesn't involve "calling in sick" only to spend your day off at the checkout.

The internet is an electronic gateway to the world, a small window in your home or office, giving you access to the worlds products and services all at a click of a button.  Online shopping is a form of electronic commerce whereby customers directly buy goods or services from a seller over the internet without an intermediary service.  An online shop, eshop, e-store, internet shop, webshop, webstore, online store, or virtual store evokes the physical analogy of buying products or services at a bricks-and-mortar retailer or shopping centre and yet still maintains the capacity to offer the exact, in cases better, levels of customer service and quality product.

Some key benefits of shopping on the net:-

  • Information! A massive and valuable source of information, there is no waiting around or endlessly searching the store for help.  (By the way, why is it when we don't need help, we seem to get harassed constantly, but when we actually need it, the store suddenly has no employees?  What's with that?).
     
  • Bargains!  A favourite, nothing beats that feeling of finding a bargain, and you don't need to go walking or driving shop to shop, mall to mall to find it in on the net.  Simply because the brick and mortar store advertises in their window that it's on special, is it really?  How would you know?
     
  • Cheaper prices!  How so?  Well, it's knowledge that an online store has far less overheads than a brick and mortar store, generally less employees (because all the services and information is electronic), no checkout operators, doesn't consume as much electricty, and doesn't require a huge building to display all the product, so there is no need to maintain such high prices to compensate the ongoing operational costs.  The savings are generally passed to the online customer.
     
  • Lower costs!  It's even cheaper to shop at an online store without ever buying anything.  We often forget the cost of shopping to us starts before we even get to the shops or malls.  Fuel or transport expenses, car wear and tear, and even using more makeup, simply to buy more makeup.  The most confusing cost of all, is that more and more shopping centres are now even charging you to shop with them!  What's with the car park fee?  Their customers didn't do anything to deserve that!  No parking fees at FYF!
     
  • Faster!  No delays on checkout.  Getting tired of seeing hundreds of checkouts but only 2 operators available?  At FYF, our checkout operator waits for you, all day, every day!
