Join the Internet Shopping Bandwagon
Are you ready to join? The Internet shopping bandwagon, that is.
Shopping online has become increasingly popular over the last
few years, with new and improved safety measures, specialty
shops and giant retailers like Overstock.com; all designed to
entice shoppers.
In fact, VeriSign (the leading provider of security for web
sites on the Internet) suggests e-commerce data from the holiday
season in 2004 totaled 8.8 billion dollars in online purchases
(based on an analysis of online sales volume processed through
VeriSign payment services, which comprises more than 35% of
North America's e-commerce and represents in excess of 120,000
online retailers).
Additionally, e-commerce transactions are estimated to be close
to 168 billion dollars for the year 2005. In fact, in the year
2010 it is projected online sales could top the 315 billion
dollar mark (Forrester Research 2005). One may ask, why such an
increase?
Many factors can explain such increases. Improved security
measures, ease of use and convenience are just a few of these
factors. Let's explore these factors.
Security Measures- Despite all the fears of identity theft,
online transactions account for less than 4% of identity theft.
There are numerous software programs available (some for free)
that the user can download to protect themselves from viruses
and spyware. Worried about spyware? Download a free spyware
program at www.safer-networking.com (called SpyBot Search &
Destroy). Additionally, look for the locked padlock in the
toolbar and make sure the http changes to https in your browser.
The "s" indicates that the web site is a secure site and adheres
to the industry standard for security values Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL). Therefore, your personal information is encrypted
and stays private during transmission over the Internet. Always
delete sensitive information
when exiting any website and do not
give your credit card number to anyone requesting it in an email
(phishing scams). Follow these simple steps a safe online
shopping experience.
Ease of use- We have all seen the banner advertisements, just
click on them and they take you to the web site advertised.
Email advertising is growing in popularity as well and includes
a link to click on to take the user to the site after they read
the text ad. There are some unique and catchy names of web sites
that are easy to remember. Have a favorite web site or shopping
site? Just bookmark it and add it to your collection of
favorites!
Convenience- Ever wait in long lines during the holiday season?
What a time saver online shopping has become! No lines to wait
in, no parking hassles, no traffic, no gas expense, no crowds
and your merchandise can be shipped right to your door! Or, if
you prefer, you can have your purchases gift wrapped and
delivered to another address. All you do is sit at your computer
with your shopping list and get done in a few hours what may
taken you several days and trips to the mall to accomplish!
There are many more advantages to shopping online (we have just
covered a few) as well as some disadvantages, but carefully
weighed out; the smart shopper will discover a happy medium
between the two and e-commerce will continue to grow and be a
force in the economy for years to come.
