Online shopping is here to stay — and for good reason. The convenience of tech-enabled shopping has become an essential mainstay in the age of covid19.

E-commerce is continuing to dominate the consumer playing field as spending preferences and comfort levels radically shift with our new normal, and with the many perks of online shopping, it’s no surprise that consumers have turned to screens instead of stores.

During the pandemic consumer priorities became focused on safer shopping options that allowed for saving time and money. Websites like On Mark TT (Online Marketplace Trinidad and Tobago) provide a safe and efficient place for consumers to compare, choose and purchase a variety of items from local vendors and businesses. The time spent in traffic and long checkout lines is eliminated as items are delivered securely and conveniently to your home or office location.

On Mark TT already serves as an online platform to hundreds of vendors whose businesses now have a cost-effective online presence with automated sales management and hassle-free pick-up and delivery.

Additionally, an online store provides an increased customer base from website traffic of consumers throughout Trinidad and Tobago and customers have 24/7 access to shopping which is quite advantageous in comparison with traditional retail locations.

Here are ten reasons consumers opt to shop online.

1. Convenience

Imagine shopping in the comfort of your pyjamas and fuzzy socks with a fresh cup of coffee in your hand at 5 am? Online shopping is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week which means no more worrying about being too busy to get to the store or making sure you get to the shop before it closes. Rather, you can enjoy the ease of shopping on your own time, wearing whatever you want, from wherever you are.

2. Better savings

Online shopping saves money that would have been spent on gas or transportation trying to get to several different stores for different items. Also, online businesses tend to have sales and specials more often than physical shops as these can be activated and announced much easier online.

3. Better prices

Retailers selling online have less overhead costs and so this often translates to better prices for consumers. Cheaper deals are also possible as products come to you directly from the manufacturer or seller without involving middlemen. Plus, it's easier to compare prices from vendors to find the best deal.

4. More variety

A physical store can only hold what can fit at the location, however online stores do not have a limit. When shopping online therefore, there are more options which are readily available for purchase. And as vendors list new items daily at On Mark TT, there is always more to browse and buy.

5. No crowds

A major advantage to online shopping is that there is no traffic, no parking spot searches and no long checkout lines to
