Online Shopping : A busy girl’s bestfriend
I love
shopping. I love shopping for clothes and make-up products. I could very much
end my blog post there as I know most of my readers are into shopping too. But
my post today isn’t just about traditional shopping, but rather virtual
shopping or online shopping. I must admit, I wasn’t such a huge fan of online
shopping because an order of mine never came and the refund process was too
tedious. So I continued my physical shopping but my schedule at work became
crazy so I didn’t have any choice but to purchase online again. I was smarter
this time as I read reviews of different folks from different sources. I rarely
trusted the in-store reviews as it may be tainted so I gathered the information
from Instagram, Lookbook, Facebook and my friends. It was not easy obviously as
I needed to sift through various sources and it took a lot of time. But
thankfully, we now have ShopVenture which is an online shopping review
community, whose users are dedicated to sharing their online shopping
experiences to help fellow consumers make smart purchase decisions.
I have just signed up myself and have reviewed my favorite
stores online. What I love about ShopVenture is that it houses the reviews of
practically all the fashion and lifestyle brands in the world so it is as easy
as find-and-read and also all my feedbacks go straight to the merchant. For all
budding or start up e-commerce owners, you can register your store to reach a
wider community of online shoppers and at the same time get a pulse of what the
community is saying about your brand so you can improve or continue what you
are currently doing.
Now, I make
it a point to go to ShopVenture first to read reviews before I purchase anything
online or actually before I purchase anything. For example, I’m moving in to a
new house this end of the month so I need new linens and some furniture so I’m
definitely checking out the household category and filter the stores that ship
to Singapore. I am definitely eyeing a few things now!
Some Pros
and Cons for shopping online based on my experience:
Pros
1. All you
need is an internet connection and your credit card
2. You can
find unique and hard-to-find items
3. You can purchase from stores even if they’re not in your
country
4. It can be cheaper (sometimes)
Cons
1. Since you’re relying heavily on photos – some items may
not be true to photo
2. Sizing, material or the style may not fit and the refund
process is crazy or non-existent
3. Waiting time
4. Lost mails
