WHY BRICK AND MORTAR RETAIL GIANTS ARE DOWNSIZING

Online Shopping Trends

Vitamin Supplement

The health industry particularly the health supplement retailers have gone digital and are operating their online shops. A company named The Vitamin Shoppe has conveyed that with their online shop, they are in a better position to penetrate their target market and provide pertinent content when it comes to vitamin and health issues.

Compared with other product lines being sold through online boutiques, vitamins and supplements enjoy an added advantage because there is no need to touch or feel the product for as long as the online retailer is able to provide clear and complete information.

Unlike for example with online clothes shopping, while the shopper is always

ready to shop for his/her clothing online, the need to feel and fit the product

during the online transaction could not be avoided.

The Northland New Zealand

The shoppers in the Northland region of New Zealand or also known as the far north, enjoy and love to shop online. Figures show that online shoppers had spent $120 million last 2017.

Credit this to the good access to the internet and to goods that are available from overseas suppliers, these online shoppers do enjoy and appreciate purchased items being delivered to the comfort of their homes.

Australia

Where online shopping is doing very well in New Zealand, its neighbor Australia that has a large economy has become a nation of online shoppers.

Online retail giants, such as online shopping with Walmart, online shopping with eBay and online shopping with Amazon have indeed invaded the shopping sphere forcing the brick and mortar giants such as Target Australia to downsize their physical shop operations as more and more Australian shoppers are shifting to online shopping.
