Benefits of online shopping in Kenya

Better prices

I’am sure anyone who has got the chance to shop online will agree with me when I say that online stores offer a better deal when it comes to prices as compared to other physical stores.

This is because many people are now using the internet to look for products and as they do this they keep comparing the prices from different online stores.  

This ensures that one gets a fair deal on the goods. Many online business owners understand this pretty well and they are willing to reduce their profit margin just to get more customers.

Convenience

Shopping online is a very convenient way of shopping since it does not require to go  out and shop from a physical store. The only thing one needs to do is to visit a website,search for the product you want and place in your order.

The other issue is that most online stores operate 24/7 and as such one can actually shop at any time of the day and night. This is has been largely been applauded by the working class because most of them do not have the time to go shopping in a mall or a physical supermarket.

Variety

One of the benefits of shopping from an online store is that there is a variety of products from different manufacturers to choose from. This is very important as one gets the chance to compare different products from different manufactures, thus making the best choice.

This is however not possible with physical sores as there are many policies that restrict the stocking of some products from particular brands.

Fewer traps

As we  all know most physical stores invest so much in ensuring that they lure people to buy more products. Many shoppers fall for this trap and end up buying products they had not budgeted for. These strategies are however not so pronounced in online stores.

Most physical stores invest in strategies which lure people to buy more products including those they had not planned for. These criteria are not pronounced with online stores and as a result one gets a chance to buy what he/she really needs.

Discreet shopping

There are various products that people find a bit uncomfortable to buy in a physical store. This is because there are always many people in the supermarkets and they tend to observe what others are buying making some people feel uncomfortable.

Online shopping in Kenya has indeed changed the way people shop and do business in the country as many now believe that it is a more convenient way of shopping.
