What are some of the potential consumer benefits to purchasing items online?

What will be an ideal response?


Consumers can potentially save on the actual cost of the purchased product by shopping online. With more information about competing prices and the actual costs of producing products available through the Internet, customers have more negotiating power for big-ticket items. Savings can be realized in the customer's expenses in the gasoline not used when driving to a store. Also, there are time management advantages and stress reduction for the customer who does not have to physically travel to a store.
