What if you could shop for your monthly provision and groceries from the comfort of your own home and with an easy click of a button? Shoppers all over the world have discovered the myriad pleasures of internet shopping. Indians too, are fast catching on to the trend of online shopping. Considering the fact that Indians are value conscious and buy things through touch and feel, it’s indeed heartening to know that online shopping websites have churned revenue worth Rs. 1,180 crores.

Websites too have remodeled their business strategy to suit the Indian temperament. While an online shopping website would target people only with discounts and freebies, Indian shopping websites concentrate more on providing shoppers with detailed and high end photographic catalogues, detailed product descriptions and online chat support and transactional security.

These online shopping websites sell everything from electronic goods to daily provisions. Electronic goods and accessories like mobile phones, lap tops and pen drives are a major pull for the younger generation that’s a little open to the concept of online shopping.

Surprisingly women too have shown a preference for online shopping sites. A major reason for this change of attitude could be a result of brands trying to promote themselves through social networking sites like Facebook. Women tend to trust brands and products that are being openly discussed among friends on these sites. Besides social networking sites, online websites have also tried to market themselves through the audio-visual and print media.

Not every online experience is bound to be positive. There are sure to be fraudsters and scamsters all set to make money at others costs. While the online community is aware of this trend, they still prefer online shopping. One of the probable reasons for this could be that the benefits of online shopping far outweigh the negative effects of shopping online.

Besides there’s an increased awareness among online shoppers to consciously avoid being duped. Websites too are trying their best to increase the security level of online payments.

However there’s a serious lacunae of websites that act as forums to connect people with the best brands and the best deals. A few websites have ventured into this arena and have tried to provide a platform for people to share the best deals including daily deals, special promotions, freebies, coupons, online and in-store deals across websites in India. Thus these websites serve as a one stop shop for people looking for shopping deals and discounts throughout India.
