The Longest Trail

I love to shop online, actually as I type right now I am shopping online for Christmas and myself of course ;)My cousin shops off Amazon so much that she gets all these super deals and never has to pay S&H.I used to do Amway Global, for those of you who dont know what it is, its a group of stores like Sears, barns and noble, car parts stores and SO MUCH MORE, anyway the point of this was that my higher up was always saying how by 2013 or something like that, that 80% of people in the US would be shopping online for most of their needs. I'm not sure there math was completely right with the time and percent, I know over the years since then that peoples internet shopping had just got bigger and bigger.You can get great deals, you save on gas, and it can be done from the convenient of your very own home. I think that the internet will continue to get bigger , and so will our shopping from it.

  1. I agree I do most of my shopping online as well. I very rarely go to stores to buy things unless its shoes or pants which heed to be tried on. Most electives (what I think of as thing that is not food or clothing) I buy the things online. I truly think those fats are right one the money and where most of it will be.

  2. Annmarie,
    I agree with you. A few years ago, I wouldn’t have thought I’d become an online shopper but certain things are difficult to find in stores. When I moved from outside of Washington DC to Burlington a few years ago, I noticed that there are not nearly as many places to shop for clothes as one example. Books are another example- I can never seem to find what I am looking for in stores. I agree that internet shopping will only get bigger and probably also more personalized.
