Dont get carried away by online shopping


Abstract

LETTERS: Covid-19 has caused numerous changes in the world that impacted the lives of many individuals, especially in terms of purchasing patterns.

Consumers are obsessively purchasing items online and offline. Shopping has indeed been described as a kind of therapy. However, when it comes down to it, retail therapy is a misnomer.

On the other hand, Covid-19 has led to a significant growth in the purchasing habits of online shoppers. The growing number of online shoppers had a significant influence on the revenues of numerous businesses.

In an interview with a local daily, Gwendolyn Lim, partner at Bain & Co grocery says that online sales make up four per cent of total grocery sales. Lim also pointed out that the category of sales will continue to grow in the future.
