eCommerce and Online Shopping has now gone a long way; it has changed the way consumers and entrepreneurs do business today. It hasn't wiped out the idea of shopping in a physical store, but it gave the consumers an alternative means to shop and a bigger market that offers bigger savings. Also, gone are the days when huge risks are at stake when you shop online. Today, online shopping has become one of the most secured transactions done on the internet. That's why for the most part, there's a huge advantage that consumers could leverage from by shopping online. In case you haven't fully embraced the idea of this modern day shopping practice, here's a list of reason why you should do so now.

1. Easy Access, Effortless Purchase
The most fundamental reason why many people choose to shop online is because of its convenience. You could easily make a purchase straight from your desk with your smartphone or computer. What's even better is that you can shop anytime in the day even during night time beyond mall operating hours. Basically, it could save you the time and the effort spent walking into different retail stores just to look for that pair of shoes that your favorite celebrity just wore.

For products that couldn't be found in local retailers, you could go ahead and expand your search from different stores based on different geography. Shopping online won't limit your shopping experience according to your location, so the possibilities of finding a good buy are virtually limitless. If you have the money to shop, there's really no reason for you to not get your hands on that clothes or those pair of shoes that you've been eyeing. Only a bad internet connection can stop you from doing a shopping spree.

2. Best Deals in Town
One of the reasons why online shopping offers a better deal a lot of times than retailers is because many of these online shops are actually direct manufacturers or suppliers. With online shopping, the chance of dealing directly with these manufacturers is high. Many online stores will offer you a better deal compared to retailers in your local market, it will also give you access to a wider selection of exclusive products which can be rarely found in offline. Also, for people who love to shop by bulk, manufacturers and suppliers usually offer money saving deals to consumers: the bigger the quantity of your purchase, the cheaper the prices will go. This is ideal for entrepreneurs who source their products directly from manufacturers. Not only is online shopping beneficial for your day to day shopping needs, it can also be a good source of income. Many brick and mortar businesses actually leverage from online shopping.

3. More Variety

The number of shops you could find and the number of products that you could choose from is massive online. If you're trendy and you love to shop for the latest style of clothes, online shopping will open the doors to a wide array of fashion-forward closets because you can shop from retailers based in different parts of the world. Apart from that, stocks are more abundant compared to a physical store. Also, ordering before a product is launched has already become common nowadays, giving the consumers the ability to get their hands on the latest gadget or trending clothes once it hits the market.

4. Easy Price Comparison and Product Analysis

Konga, jumia dealdey etc and all other big e-commerce sites make it easy for users to find a product offered by different shops. These online shopping platforms also allow consumers to compare products, prices, and stores, to provide them the ability to come up with better judgment when it comes to choosing different deals offered in their platform. Also, these sites are a platform for consumers to share their experience with a seller or store and a product to forewarn consumers of possible issues or praise and recommend a product and a store. With that, choosing between different stores and products and knowing which to avoid will be a lot easier for consumers.

5. Discounts are Everywhere!

One of the best things about online shopping is that discounts, vouchers, and coupons can easily be found on the internet and be availed! Many stores offer email notification and newsletters for seasonal and random discounts, while other websites simply offer coupons. Discounts are store initiated and they are usually offered by retailers directly from their shop.

On the other hand, voucher and coupons is a different story. These coupons are mostly featured in mainstream media platforms like magazines and newspaper, but today their availability online has been increasing especially with the rise of aggregate websites that gather coupons from different stores and retailers. This online marketplace for discount vouchers and coupons are called coupon stores. Coupon stores are the best place to find daily deals and promo codes for different products online. These coupons can help you save a good amount of money through discounts and promotions.


6. Discreet Way to Shop

Last but not the least, the privacy that you get for shopping online is unparalleled. Purchases that you make on the internet are delivered straight to your doorsteps. This is the reason why many sex-related products are highly sold online, due to the fact that consumers prefer to purchase these away from the prying eye of the shoppers in public. The privacy that you get from online shopping is not just limited to those products though, it applies to every transaction that you do.

With so much to gain and nothing to lose, there's basically no reason why you shouldn't give online shopping a try. After all, there's really nothing much to it, all it takes is just a few clicks.


7. FAKE PRODUCT!

many fake product are online!

the like of jumia and konga used to sell fake fake product.

Well, all I can say is that before you buy anything, you have to do your research very well to ensure you're getting good the real price and avoid being ripped off. I have bought from jumia and I had no problem. Recently I discovered www.officesleek.com sells far cheap than what you see in other eCommerce stores. I shop with them and it's been good.

Because of the nature of my job, online shopping has been my saving grace for almost 5yrs now. Nearly every electronic item including groceries (gloo.ng.com kiss) in my house (even furniture) are purchased online.
Its so damn convenient and I would rather pay an extra token for that convenience than going to a physical market or store.
Now that amazon UK and US have outsourced their shipments directly to doorsteps, I can't wait to start shopping directly from their websites.

Online purchases are more expensive especially from a Nigerian's perspective. A company like slot sells its phones at the same price online or offline, now add about N2000 for delivery to your online purchases. Most of these stores in Nigeria sell substandard products. Now try foreign store, when you consider the exchange rate plus cost of shipping, you find out you are paying more than walking to the market to buy it. So leave all these stories.

all the op knows is selling his ebooks on importation from his one paged website. it will be reckless to think he practices what he sells. that aside, as sweet as online shopping sounds, when it comes to replacing defective orders u start hearing the stories of Shakespeare. this is what makes online shopping in nigeria distasteful.

Online shopping is not meant for the Nigerian environment especially with our make money fast as possible without providing quality mentality. Shopped online here a few times for comparison with modernized country experiences and the service failed me one too many times.
Never again. Never again. Anything I physically want is always a vehicle-ride away. If not purchasable by hand then it wasn't meant for me.

A lot of people here only know about jumia and konga when you talk about online shopping.

And some people are even afraid of being cheated.
It means these people cannot do oversea online shopping from Chinese and american stores.

You need to be able to develop trust in the seller before placing an order, if you can't trust the seller, then online shopping is not for you because you will need to pay for the product upfront before it is shipped to you.

And trust me, you tend to get the best deals online (I am not talking about Nigerian stores!)
Bro...
Have you ever bought something online before?
Where's the best place to get cool stuffs?
Amazon, eBay or alliexpress?

Also, I'll be glad if you give me techniques, etc.

Revealed: WHERE IS THE CHEAPEST PLACE TO BUY FRESH FOOD ITEMS IN ABUJA.

This giant snails costs between #450-#550 each in Wuse Market. Get it for just #199 on Belle.ng here
https://belle.ng/giant-snail-1-big-size .
This crate of eggs goes for between #1100-#1300 elswhere, get it for just #890 here https://belle.ng/egg-crate-of-30. This big, live catfish sells for #1300 elsewhere but buy it for just #700 here https://belle.ng/cat-fish-cut.

This Smoked Goat Head costs between #900-#1500 in other markets. Get it as low as #600 only on Belle.ng here https://belle.ng/goat-head-smoked.
