Our affinity for footwear has existed for as long as humans started walking upright. It could even be argued that, after clothing, the next fashion trend that we invented was footwear.
Buying shoes generally involved going to a shoe store and trying on a couple of styles looking for the one that fits you. But the advent of the internet and online retail has changed how we shop for shoes.
Below are 5 benefits of buying shoes online.
1. PRICE
Online shops offer great deals and affordable prices than the typical shoe store. The main reason for this discrepancy is the competition that online retail stores face. In order to attract customers, labels and brands are eager to offer discounts and coupons for their products. Also, online shoe stores can keep their overhead costs low since they don’t have to pay for rent, wages for salespeople, or even security which means they can afford to offer their products at a much lower price.
2. CONVENIENCE
The next benefit of shopping for shoes online also applies to the whole online shopping experience – the convenience. No longer will we have to get up, get dressed, drive, and walk around for a couple of hours at a mall trying on different shoe styles. We can simply open our computer or phones and scroll to the vast catalog of products that many online shops offer. If we don’t like what they have to offer, we can simply open a new tab and search for a different shoe store.
3. OPTIONS
Speaking of products, there are so many more options to choose from at online shops. There is simply no denying that the online world can give us exactly what we want when we want it. If one store doesn’t carry a shoe style or size that you want, it is certain that the next online shoe store will have it without a huge disparity in the price.
4. CLARITY
Physical shoe stores are designed with advertisements in mind. Customers are more often than not manipulated to buy more than what they had intended. They do this by placing posters and other colorful messages that grab our attention. These are usually placed in the front of the store with the intended products placed at the very back to make customers browse other products first. This doesn’t happen in online shops. You search for a certain shoe brand and style, and when you click the link, you are immediately taken to the exact page.
5. PRIVACY
The last and sometimes the most important benefit of purchasing shoes online is privacy. New changes in the e-commerce space have mandated that retailers put in place privacy measures that ensure the safety and security of customers’ personal information. No one would know what kind of shoes, the prices, and the style you bought other than yourself.
The number of people getting their shoes online will only continue to grow as we, as a society become more and more dependent on the internet.
