I was recently talking to a friend about how I like to shop for clothes online. During the course of the conversation, we realised that the two of us had a very different approach to shopping in this way. This came as something of a surprise to me.
I guess I'd always assumed that we all use the Internet in a very similar way when it comes to making purchases. But this is very clearly not the case. Thinking about it, this probably should have been obvious to me before. After all, a whole industry has sprung up around the need to analyse the way in which consumers behave.
So how do you shop the clothes online? Do you even use the Internet to make such purchases? It seems natural to me that people should do. For starters, it seems obvious that it should be cheaper to shop in this way. Why should this be the case?
One reason is because Internet retailers will tend to have considerably lower overheads. This is as a result of the fact that they do not have to maintain expensive premises in high-profile locations. This is in direct contrast to more traditional retailers. Lower overheads should be good news for consumers.
If a retailer is having to spend less money on premises and staff costs, then this should be reflected in lower prices for customers. Although things don't always work out this way, the theory suggests that they should do more often than not.
One frustration that I used to find when shopping in my local high street was that there was a restricted range of shops available to me. Such limitations do not apply when shopping online. This means that we have access to a far greater range of garments.
If I cannot find clothes by a particular designer here in the UK, then I will happily use overseas websites and ask to have products imported. Things have become so much easier.
One area where my own approach to shopping online differed considerably to that of my friend was when it came to making cost savings. I've found that I am almost obsessed with trying to get the best possible deal.
I often find that the best way to do this is by using price comparison websites and discount code directories. These two tools are free to access and have saved me a considerable amount of money over the last few years.
You can use a price comparison tool to identify the cheapest retailers. By then making use of discount codes, you'll find that you can buy many items of clothing for even less money.
