The Online Shopping Revolution: Impact on Local Businesses and Consumers

Today we can see many changes around us and all these changes are growing very fast around us and we are also adapting to them. Even though many people oppose all these things, with time everyone becomes accustomed to it. And there is no other option left except to accept it. No matter how much you accept them initially, a time definitely comes when you have to use them. Earlier, technology was not so developed in small towns, but technology is spreading so fast that sometimes it becomes impossible to believe.

I am not saying that this should not happen, it is a good thing but it is being affected by a lot of things and a lot is changing due to the online e-commerce market or online shopping websites. Big online websites are spreading their business everywhere and they are capable of doing all this. Due to this, small businessmen are getting affected a lot and they are not able to get their desired rates as they used to get earlier. Were.

If you are a businessman then you can understand these things, even if these things do not affect you that much but if you are a local businessman then it must have made a lot of difference to you. Nowadays people have become very lazy and want to do everything with their fingers, be it shopping for clothes or any kitchen item. Everything you need is just a few moments away from your fingertips. Perhaps that is why big companies are taking advantage of this and it comes with many good deals. But it is quite impossible for small traders to do this. Their market is limited but now that too is gradually decreasing because as the online world is coming into its own, business is being done everywhere.

Because people check the rates online before buying the goods and then if their goods are available nearby then they buy them. If there seems to be a huge difference in the rates then they prefer to order the goods online. If children have been cheated online with people then they are very afraid to buy things online again and this is probably the reason why many people do not believe in online shopping because sometimes it has happened to them or to people they know. Something or the other might have happened due to which they feel a little hesitant in purchasing goods online.

Do you also think that online stores and online websites have made a difference to the business in your area? I think so and I have also experienced this and it has happened in most of the clothing stores. Nowadays people do shopping sitting at home and if they do not like the item then they also refund it. By doing this they neither have to go to the shopkeeper nor have to listen to the shopkeeper's objections. Everyone is just looking at their own comfort, no one cares what difference people are making by doing this.

I mostly buy things offline, I rarely buy things online but whenever there is a sale, I can't stop myself. Or sometimes the deal is just too good. A huge discount is available, and to be honest, online EMI option is also available at many places.

And many times we have also seen how big companies fool us all due to online sales. Like creating FOMO towards anything and manipulation in price and many more such tactics are adopted by which people get trapped in their trap. If you don't believe then compare the prices a few days before the sale, on the day of the sale and after the sale and you will see the difference. On the day of sale, if you see the price of any product on its original website and the websites of big companies like Flipkart and Amazon, you will see a huge difference.

Yes, people have become aware sometimes but sometimes everyone falls into their trap. I would say that you should buy as many goods as possible from your local shopkeepers. Yes, do negotiate a little on the price with them because they send the goods at a much higher profit than online, but still take care of their family and also let them know about your business. Give a chance to earn from.

What do you think about this, do you think the same now or do you have some other thoughts please share.

see you in the next post, till then Keep learning and keep exploring...
