5 Tips & Tricks for Effective Online Shopping
5 Tips & Tricks for Effective Online Shopping By Pradeep
Aggarwal
At the dawn of the new millennium, E-Commerce or Online shopping
has gained momentum in America and elsewhere with more and more
people buying and selling online. According to Forrester
Research the numbers are increasing at the rate of 2-25% per
annum and 40% of household are using coupons for online
shopping. This primarily because online shopping offers more
discount and savings compared to traditional stores who are
burdened with costs of employees, rent and insurance. Use these
tips for effective online shopping and follow the new catch line
- Save $$$ with online shopping. #1: Don't go with the most
popular auction sites. You'll end up on the receiving end. Some
of the auction sites have become saturated with both buyers and
sellers. Re-distributors of these sites quickly jump into fray
and ad-up their markups to your purchase. Along with the
products, the online marketplace is also flooded with enough
people who make you spend hundreds of extra dollars for items
you find in local malls. For alert shoppers this is not the
ideal place. So please be careful. #2: Very important, NEVER pay
retail. Consider this: You're looking for Ipod, you want to pay
the price that Apple is offering? NO way, then? Spend some time
in goggle and just type ipod coupons. Go through the top ten to
twenty results, you can take it for granted that you'll find
many listing offering significant discount for the same product.
Or sometimes jus filling out a survey or signing up an
email
list you'll get additional savings, perhaps you can also get it
for FREE. #3: Buying a new product in craze or fad always
excites us. Sometimes difficult to resist the temptation and we
end up buying at a local mall spending more money. If you only
you ca resist that temptation and wait for 2-5 days you will get
the same product at a much lesser rate, which in turn swells
your savings as well. Hold your emotions under check till your
shipping comes via UPS! #4: Extra care need to be taken for
excessive shipping charges for retailers slash the price of the
product ad-up that to the shipping. Ensure to check the final
cost so that you don't have to pay any additional charge. Better
still find free shipping. Sometimes shipping can cost more than
your actual purchase. #5: Online Coupons: Did you ever hear of
an online coupon websites like www.couponchief.com that provide
discount and promotion codes to most of the Internet stores?
These websites provide latest discount offers arranged by
category or store, making it easier for you to find want you
want. This helps you in getting a good deal and can find free
shipping offers listed in #4. Take precaution to check for a
coupon code prior making Internet purchase. A very simple way to
save extra $$$.
