Data points to an easy return policy as being another factor in people choosing online stores in general, and certain online stores in particular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, clothing e-stores will often deliver products in self-sealing envelopes with pre-paid postal charges, meaning that a customer can return a product with no extra cost to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data from multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oberlo.com\/statistics\/why-do-people-shop-online\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">surveys<\/a> point to several key factors, but there is a keyword that is common to most of them and the reason why people shop online: <strong>convenience \/ simplicity<\/strong>. Research points to convenience rating as the top reason people shop online in Europe, especially in Sweden (44%), Norway (40%), and Finland (36%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Price is also a significant factor driving online shopping, especially in Italy, where 22% of consumers put lower prices as a reason they prefer online retailers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<div class=\"media-block swiper-container js-swiper-media-block \">\n\n  <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-cursor=\"change-color\" data-cursor-color=\"#ffffff\">\n\n            <div class=\"media-block__media \">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" class=\"swiper-lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ecom.nets.eu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/top-5-reasons-why-people-shop-online-in-2022-7.png\" alt=\"\">\n      <\/div>\n      \n      \n          <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n  \n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"text-section text-content container container--wide     \"\n  data-anim=\"opacity,y\" data-anim-delay=\".15\" style=\"padding-top:; padding-bottom:  \">\n  \n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<p>While a big downside to online shopping is that you can\u2019t see the item in question with your own eyes and hold it in your hands before purchasing it, this is greatly offset by customer reviews and ratings. Often plentiful and conveniently displayed on the product page, reviews and ratings are often a deciding factor in shoppers making up their mind about the purchase. Also, any person online shopping can not only check the reviews on the store\u2019s webpage, but also simply open up another tab and do a quick online search for even more reviews and ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything an online store has on offer is always on display on the webpage; products out of stock are clearly labeled as such, often with the ability to notify you the moment an item is back in stock; searching for a particular product is easier than at a physical location, and more\/most importantly, the checkout process is fast and simple with no waiting in line and no crowding at the register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Call it by other names like ease of use, streamlining, frictionless &#8211; at the end of the day, convenience is what we all desire in our shopping experience and successful online stores have put in the time and effort to provide it to their clients.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Online stores offer free delivery &#8211; some for any purchase, others for all purchases over a certain minimum amount of money spent &#8211; and this feature is very often stated as one of the main reasons for online shopping. You put in your address, you make the purchase, and the item is delivered to your doorstep, eliminating the need for scouting out local brick-and-mortar stores, hoping they\u2019ll have the item in stock. It bears note that among online stores that do offer free delivery, those that fare even better are stores that can provide <em>next-day<\/em> delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While payments are simple, payment plans and conveniences such as e-coupons and discounts are also important factors for online shoppers, as well as loyalty programs. Also, products on special offers and sales are clearly visible on the webpage, which means there is no chance of a shopper missing a sale because they didn\u2019t stop by the brick-and-mortar store on the right day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"text-section text-content container container--wide   bottom-margin  \"\n  data-anim=\"opacity,y\" data-anim-delay=\".15\" style=\"padding-top:; padding-bottom: 0px \">\n  \n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Lifestyle &amp; Your Online Shopping Go Together<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"text-section text-content container container--wide     \"\n  data-anim=\"opacity,y\" data-anim-delay=\".15\" style=\"padding-top:; padding-bottom:  \">\n  \n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Influence of Technology and Social Media<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media has affected many facets of our lives, so it stands to reason that it also influenced not just how we shop but also why. With social media increasingly present across all age groups, savvy online stores and businesses have for a while now been marketing not only to the younger generations &#8211; once perceived as the \u201conly ones online\u201d &#8211; but have been targeting all ages and demographics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ability to buy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1273928\/share-social-buyers-age-group-worldwide\/#statisticContainer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a product or service directly through a social media platform<\/a> has also proven a significant benefit to both consumers and online stores, with consumers of all age groups making purchases with no need to visit the store\u2019s main webpage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Influencers have more than once proven a boon to brands and stores, providing at certain times an almost unprecedented effect on the sales of a certain product or service &#8211; for example, BookTok is a large reader and reviewer community based on the social media application TikTok and BookTok influencers have more than once in the past years made the sales of certain novels &#8211; or indeed certain author\u2019s entire catalogue &#8211; skyrocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online sales have also significantly increased revenue for online stores and businesses. Maybe one of the best examples is how Black Friday and Cyber Monday transformed from something we associate with the US to global sales events, marked by aggressive social media campaigns promoting special discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also an often overlooked technological factor influencing online sales: the chatbot. A simple, but effective program that can answer a shopper\u2019s questions about products and services on offer by the store, chatbots are popular among Millennial and Gen Z consumers for their ability to provide quick and to the point answers about availability, price et al. And \u201cbot\u201d use goes beyond chatbots on webpages &#8211; a large percentage of smart devices are equipped with digital assistants such as Siri or Alexa, through which consumers also search for and buy products and services online.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"related-article js-swiper-related-article\">\n  <h5>Related Article<\/h5>\n  <div class=\"swiper-container\">\n    <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\" >\n      \n<article class=\"article-box  swiper-slide\">\n  <div class=\"article-box__image\" data-anim=\"opacity,y\" data-anim-delay=\".15\" >\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/ecom.nets.eu\/magazine\/no\/issue\/issue-01\/\" class=\"issue-num headline-font small js-link\" data-anim=\"rotate,y\" data-anim-delay=\".15\"  data-cursor=\"skew\" aria-label=\"Issue N\u00ba01\"><span class=\"js-line\">N\u00ba01<\/span><\/a>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/ecom.nets.eu\/magazine\/no\/live-streaming-commerce-top-or-flop\/\" class=\"media-wrapper js-link\" aria-label=\"Live Streaming Commerce \u2013 Top or Flop?\" data-cursor=\"articleimg\"\n       data-cursor-color=\"#00b49d\" data-cursor-text=\"View Article\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" class=\"swiper-lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ecom.nets.eu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/live-streaming-commerce-top-or-flop-min.png\" alt=\"Live Streaming Commerce \u2013 Top or Flop?\">\n    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p class=\"date light-font small\"><span data-anim=\"opacity,x+\" data-anim-delay=\".15\" >August 2023<\/span><\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"article-box__content\">\n    <a class=\"category category-style js-link mb-2\" data-anim=\"rotate,y\" data-anim-delay=\".15\"  href=\"https:\/\/ecom.nets.eu\/magazine\/no\/industry-news\/?issue=7969\" data-cursor=\"skew\" aria-label=\"Industry News\">Industry News<\/a>\n    <h5 class=\"title\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/ecom.nets.eu\/magazine\/no\/live-streaming-commerce-top-or-flop\/\"\n         aria-label=\"Live Streaming Commerce \u2013 Top or Flop?\"\n         data-cursor=\"skew\"\n         data-anim=\"splitText\" data-anim-delay=\".3\"                   class=\"js-link\">Live Streaming Commerce \u2013 Top or Flop?<\/a>\n    <\/h5>\n    <p data-anim=\"splitText\" data-anim-delay=\".45\"  class=\"excerpt light-font\">Remember when grandma bought a whole collection of pots and pans because someone on television suggested that she buy now in order to get this amazing, once-in-a-lifetime deal?

Another category of product people online shopping will put in their digital shopping baskets are pharmaceuticals, followed closely behind by cosmetics, beauty, and wellness products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While food delivery had experienced a dramatic rise in demand during the first lockdowns, with restaurants, diners, and stores reopening fully, this service is now something only a third of those polled still use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other products frequently purchased from online stores still form a wide and eclectic array of categories, ranging from children\u2019s toys to sporting goods to printed books and magazines, as well as electronic equipment &#8211; anything from desktop computers and tablets to mobile phones or wearables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"related-links related-links--narrow\">\n  <h6 class=\"category-style\">Related Links<\/h6>\n      <p>\n    \n    <a class=\"btn  btn--icon\"\n        target=\"_blank\"        aria-label=\"Online shopping ever more popular\"               href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/eurostat\/web\/products-eurostat-news\/-\/ddn-20220202-1\">\n        <span class=\"btn__bg\"><\/span>\n        <span class=\"btn__text\">\n                <span class=\"btn__icon\"><svg class=\"icon icon-arrow\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 45 24\">\n    <path fill-rule=\"nonzero\" d=\"M32.3 0l9.95 9.41h.02L45 11.98 32.3 24l-2.74-2.59 7.75-7.32H0v-3.66h37.86l-8.3-7.85L32.3 0z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/span>\n            <span>Online shopping ever more popular<\/span>\n      <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<div class=\"media-block swiper-container js-swiper-media-block \">\n\n  <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-cursor=\"change-color\" data-cursor-color=\"#ffffff\">\n\n            <div class=\"media-block__media \">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" class=\"swiper-lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ecom.nets.eu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/top-most-bought-category-in-2022-in-different-area-6.png\" alt=\"\">\n      <\/div>\n      \n      \n          <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n  \n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"text-section text-content container container--wide   bottom-margin  \"\n  data-anim=\"opacity,y\" data-anim-delay=\".15\" style=\"padding-top:; padding-bottom: 0px \">\n  \n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Online vs Trade Shopping: What Will Win?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<section class=\"text-section text-content container container--wide     \"\n  data-anim=\"opacity,y\" data-anim-delay=\".15\" style=\"padding-top:; padding-bottom:  \">\n  \n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>As with any big change and advent of new technology or a new application of an existing one, the age-old question is presented once again: will this new thing &#8211; online shopping &#8211; replace traditional shopping?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a cursory glance at the world around us might provide an answer: not any time soon, if quite possibly at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brick-and-mortar store owners might fear that online shopping spells certain doom, and while it may be the case on an individual basis, these stores in general are probably not going anywhere. Many people still like to visit an actual physical location and see and feel the product before purchase as well as enjoy the real-world interaction with other people in the store and receive help and advice from store assistants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As many times before, here a compromise is emerging as well, a type of hybrid solution. Online shopping most certainly is one of the highest-growing sectors worldwide and eCommerce is projected to comprise over 22% of global retail sales in 2023 &#8211; an unexpected rise in just a few years, considering the percentage was only 14% in 2019. But just because online shopping is here to stay and grow, does not mean that brick-and-mortar has to go: many business-savvy companies and store owners have been expanding into the online shopping sphere while maintaining their physical locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, the world of online shopping has been growing in size and evolving by leaps and bounds in the past several years, and with new developments in technology and increases in convenience and ease of use, it is expected to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. While consumers may never get tired of visiting a brick-and-mortar store, the many benefits of online stores have made them an indispensable part of our daily lives, across all demographics and age groups.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>With this in mind, online stores that don\u2019t rest on their laurels but aim to not only maintain but also improve the quality of their offer and user experience can expect to see their business and revenue increase in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Just because online shopping is here to stay and grow, does not mean that brick-and-mortar has to go: many business-savvy companies and store owners have been expanding into the online shopping sphere while maintaining their physical locations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"text-section text-content container container--wide     \"\n  data-anim=\"opacity,y\" data-anim-delay=\".15\" style=\"padding-top:;
