BLOG NUMBER 4


For me, I would open an online store depending on who the target audience is. If it weren’t a clothing store I would definitely make it online. If it were a clothing for an age group around my own, I would make it online as well. I think for an online store to be successful, it has to have a select target audience. Online you are able to see everything available; in mortar store some times they are out of product or only carry it in select store. Online you are able to read the customer reviews of a product and see what other users have said about the product. You can also have more size options and from the reviews, see how the product lasts and wears over time. One disadvantage to an online store is you cannot actually physically see the product or try it on, which is make or break it for some people. Also some things are not returnable. Online shopping is faster and a lot easier than running out to the mall. No, I don’t think brick and mortar stores will be a thing of the past. Mortar store are a social thing as well and people like to physically hold the product they are buying. It makes sense to think they possibly could since the prices are cheaper to operate with an online store, I don’t think they will disappear.
