Get in line for online shopping
Start with a click – and before you know it, you’ve ‘clicked’ with the best way to shop (for practically anything)
The internet is now the world’s largest marketplace, and shoppers have traded strolling through malls for surfing through cyberspace in search of products and services. With your fingers doing the walking, you can spend all day searching for all sorts of merchandise and facilities at the best deals – and have them delivered right to your doorstep (or booked from a great distance).
If you’re still not on the online shopping bandwagon, here’s what you’re missing out on:
Fashion finds
Everyone – from big, international labels to small, home-based designers; premium luxury brands, to affordable, ready-to-wear names – has made cyberspace an extension of their brick-and-mortar shops. From suits to bikinis, handbags to shoes – you have a wide variety of merchandise, styles and designs to choose from. Top regional portals like Zalora and Lazada showcase items in great detail – with high-resolution photos, material information and guides to sizes – so there’s little risk of not getting what you paid for. And the latest collections tend to hit the web first – so you’ll always be first in line for what’s most in vogue.
Bonanza deals
One of the biggest attractions of online shopping is finding exclusive deals, discounts and privileges. And the more you search, the more you’ll find! Local portals like Groupon and SavingMart, for instance, are unparalleled sources of coupons and special offers on everything from spa treatments to vacation packages, electronics to furniture that you CANNOT find offline. And lest you think the deals are only for third-rate, little-known products and services – think again!
Convenience
Forget about dressing-up, braving traffic, hunting for parking and roaming the nearest mall just to search for a pair of socks. Instead, simply pop online, browse, choose and order (then wait for you bell to ring). And we’re not just talking about durable goods and clothing. More and more Malaysians are even ordering groceries online and having them delivered to their door. ASEAN food portals likeHappyFresh and Food Panda offer a wide variety of top-notch foodstuff as well as freshly-cooked dishes – so, in theory, you won’t ever have to shop for food outside ever again!
