It is often thecase that People prefer to have things made available to them convenientlywithin their own comfort zones, especially in the entertainment and variedcommercial services. In comparison to shopping online most people prefer toshop at neighbourhood stores as they can access a vast choice of items in onelocation and also see and touch the product before buying. Additionally, itenables customers to compare similar products on the market as well.

 

Local shops/Kirana storesnow serve services such as relaxation and entertainment, keeping buyersentertained so they can spend more time shopping.

 

Because customersdo not receive the right services or do not buy products from their localshops, shopkeepers grow frustrated and customers are less likely to say no evenif they do not want to purchase.

 

However in onlineshopping it serves to resolve such cases as you are the only one who has thefinal say as to whether you want to buy the product or not. Another significantissue is that in local neighbourhood shops, prices are not uniform for allcustomers; buyers may occasionally be biassed in determining prices, whereas ineCommerce sites, products are priced uniformly for all customers, resulting inan impartial price for all.

These gianteCommerce companies frequently turn to small-sized firms, wholesalers andresell their services under their own branding. This results in an increase inthe cost of items yet provides significant convenience for consumers as theyget the product without moving out from home.

 

Local kirana shops, on the other hand, wereleft behind due to their inability to provide such convenience as other onlineeCommerce are providing. Despite recent developments in online ecommerce, manyconsumers still choose to shop locallyas they have trust more than online portals with no human faces.

 

With an uncertainmarket and a rapidly increasing use of chat applications like WhatsApp, Kirana shops started to accept ordersvia WhatsApp and other chat applications.
