The lower costs of running an e-commerce store versus a physical store
translate to cost savings for the consumer. This is one of the biggest e-
commerce advantages. Online prices are typically lower than traditional
store prices, and e-commerce sites are able to offer more discounts and
promotions that are easier to claim. Shopping when you want from where
you want is far preferable (and a whole lot safer) than heading out in this
COVID reality we’re now living in. Coronavirus aside, there’s also something
to be said about shopping from your bedroom, without having to venture
out, wait in lines, battle cold weather, and all the other challenges that go
along with consumerism.
