Online shopping is being popular among all age group. There is an exponential growth in this kind of market. Online marketplaces are building trust and giving convenient opportunities to their buyers. Today shoppers are smart, they search and compare products before making the final payment. Some people still have fear and don’t like to buy products online but others are frequent buyers. Below are some advantages to prefer online shopping.

In this situation in a local market, you won’t able stand in your favorite store due to limited space and less attention towards you. Parking of vehicle may become another issue in peak hours.

Close to half of consumers (46%) said recommendations and encouragement by friends and family influenced their decision to try out new premium products. According to 36% of consumers product research is an important factor when they consider to purchase a premium product. Likewise, many consumers (32%) rely on online advertising, television advertising (31%) and in-store advertising (25%) that deliver the right engagement and outreach for premium products.

In certain FMCG categories consumer mindset is shifting from luxury image towards specific functionality and convenience offering that a product is able to provide under it’s ‘premium’ claim. Therefore, it is important that manufacturers understand how consumers ascertain value to a given product category and what kind of elements differentiate premiumness.
