Mall shopping, street shopping or online shopping- which is better?


Shopping is one word that brings smile on women’s face. Shopping is loved by everyone. Even if people don’t want to buy anything, they love to opt for window shopping. Previously, it was all about the street shopping. Then was introduced the whole new world of malls and the entertainment. And now it is more about the online shopping. So which is your most preferred form of shopping?

Mall Shopping

• It offers availability of a range of merchandise and brands in a single place. Buyers can explore a variety of designs and styles under one roof.

• It saves time and efforts as there is no need to move from one street to another in search of the products.

• Mall shopping comes with entertainment. There are cinema halls and gaming zones included in the shopping malls.

• Most of the shopping malls have a complete supermarket and grocery retailers where the products are available at discounted rate.

• There is the easy option to try and feel the products at real time. There is no need to wait for the products to come at home.

• The quality of the products is much better than the products found at the street shops.

Online Shopping

• There is no need to search for any physical space to showcase the products. The shopping is not restricted by area constraints.

• Street shopping is all about the independent shops where shoppers can find unique and innovative stuff. Malls have more or less the same stuff and same brands.

• Street shopping is more about fun when the shoppers can enjoy the real fun of bargaining with the shop-keepers.

    In mall with various other facilities like gaming zones,clubs
    They get addicted with it.sometimes people buy products unnecessarily and waste money..just for their happiness as variety products available at one place there is no worry..But if we keep aside this demerits then mall shopping is much better

  • Being an "eCommerce Expert" just wanted to share a piece of my opinion on this.

    Although there are certain shoppers' experiences that cannot be replaced by an online store when it comes to shop in brick and mortal. However, on the other side the fact is online stores are actually generating revenues which are way more than brick & mortals'.

    Everyone knows the main or upfront reasons behind eRetailers' being succeed in today's era, so let's not discuss of what we are already aware of.

    Does anyone tried to find out what is that hidden reason behind high revenue to eRetailers or does anyone tried to find out why Amazon is generating huge revenues than other online stores?

    The hidden fact is "eCommerce Personalization Suite" with this eRetailers are actually able to provide a pleasing and real shopping experience to the online shoppers which helps increasing their sales by 40%-50% indeed. Amazon has been leveraging this since very long.

  • hello everyone actually the topic is a debating issue. each type of shopping has its own significance. for example in mall shopping there is a chance of having game zone which will be very helpful for kids and also for elders there is no need of searching for a particular item as all are available under one roof. coming to online shopping the best and only comfort is time saving. the people who are busy enough and are unable to spend their time on shopping can choose this. but according to me street shopping is the preferable one. because in street shopping we can bargain with the shopkeepers there by buying the item in our budget, roaming with our acquaintance. it is not like that mall shopping or online shopping are not fit comparatively street shopping brings the actual joy of shopping.

  • I prefer 99% shopping physically. I personally go to buy things from shops and malls. I buy the things with touch and feel. I get discounts, get low rate in the market than buying in one window or the 2nd one. I prefer to takeout some time for buying things. You can get more better rate than lowest online price. Big malls also use to give some discounts now a days to attract more business. I prefer to go multiple shops to buy things. Atleast choose a shop which will give discounts better than the nearest mall, online and nearest Kirana shop. The most imp 2 things I get during my personal shopping .The one is saving money through discounts and the 2nd and most important thing is burning some calories. Whats else u need.. The era of buying on MRP has gone and now buying on Discounts.These business guys had looted ur for more than a a decade on the name of MRP. Now the rates are revealed. More discounts more shopping. I prefer D-Mart in Hyderabad, Max discounts u can get on max number of goods. Atleast better than Reliance, More, heritage etc.. I love to shop only on discounted prices no matter what you think..Discounts means saving than others..

  • I thing its depends on person to person.Because everybody can not purchase from mall like poor peoples. And because of reputation rich people can not purchase from street. And online purchase is for those person who don't have time to visit malls. let me come to the point if u compare from these three shopping style then i prefer mall shopping because there are thousands of where you can choose the best one. You can feel,trial the product. and if u don't like then you can exchange them.so there is lots of benefits like this.

  • Now a days most of the customers are interested for shopping malls because in shopping mall the products are availability for all ranges of customers to pick up the brands in a single place and the buyers can arrange the lot of brands,designs ,styles in one roof and it safes time and the customers can't to move one street o another street to search for products.in shopping malls more discounts on products .
    shopping malls are entertainment because cinema halls and gaming zones are allocated in one mall and it different floors.
    the quality of products is much better than the street shops.

  • The mode of shopping completely depends on the requirement of the individual with the time-factor to shop. By any means the person is going to achieve his task of buying the product. Malls, street and Online shopping, every mode has a set of customers. Every mode of shopping has a specific range and brand of products.

    The mall culture is the latest one which portrays more of a luxurious pattern of living. People enjoy roaming, eating, playing games and watching movies more on the malls, instead of ideally purchasing the products. The ease out in this mode is to find some super stores stocking the monthly requirements of food materials, to stationary, clothing, appliances, jewellery and everything at one place. This might not accommodate the lowest rate goods that could be available on streets only. This place could be ideal for the hygienic eating outlet with average to high standard products.

    Next to the online shopping which is more of time saving. But this would deny us of having the pleasure of look out for the product before paying the charge for the same. The only suitability factor is the availability in one or the other site, ability to compare the prices, and home-delivery with time saving factor.

    The best mode could be the street shopping which gives the actual pleasure of shopping. This provides the open area to roam, eat, spend quality time with family and friends, enjoy the space with having a look out for the products before purchasing. With the traditional char of shopping, this street shopping is by far the best way to shop around.
