Online shopping changes consumer buying patterns
A strengthening economy that increases consumers' reliance on
discounts, a highly competitive environment, early promotions and the
ability to shop 24/7online all contribute to the growth of online
shopping being witnessed today.
This trend is expected to continue in the years ahead. According to
the present trend, the average person will take advantage of retailers'
online and in-store promotions to buy non-gift and gift items for
themselves or their family.
Lanka77.com, a subsidiary of the vehicle accessories and car audio
and video suppliers, Sun Lanka Auto Traders, is an online shopping mall
that features vehicle accessories and auto parts, mobile phones and
accessories, babycare products, beauty and personal care, home
appliances, Communication appliances, Consumer appliances, Kitchen
appliances and cosmetics. Customers could directly order products

"Though there are many shopping outlets, it is important to remember
that savvy shoppers will continue to look for exclusive prices to
purchase consumer goods," said Managing Director Mrs. Koshila Erathne.
"As competition heats up, consumers will be the ultimate winners.
Shoppers are making it clear that they no longer value only discounts,
but want the entire package from beginning to end - free delivery,
off-season promotions with convenience, speedy service and of course,
hard-to-beat online deals," she said. |
