Advantages for the customer in online shopping
Customers do not have to travel long distances to the shops and struggle through crowds to make their purchases.
It can be beneficial to those customers who are disabled or who, for some other reason find it difficult to travel to shops.
New, smaller, more specialised businesses present themselves on he web, thus widening the range of goods and services available.
Advantages for the business in online shopping
Overheads can be cut. A web-based business does not necessarily need a high street shop and staff to run it. Small, specialised concerns have therefore been able to establish themselves on the web with very little capital outlay.
Many new businesses have been created via the Internet; some have been successful some not. The overall effect, however, has been to invigorate the business environment by introducing healthy competition.
