Why do you prefer shopping online or in stores for the holidays?
I do all/most of my shopping online (11.1%)
I do half of my shopping online and half in stores (52.7%)
I do all/most of my shopping in stores (34.9%)
I don't shop at all for the holidays (1.3%)
Some products I simply cannot shop for online because I need to try them on, such as shoes or boots. Other items, such as a stove, I prefer to shop for at a store, where I can see the products. Still, many clothes and items, including gifts, can be shopped for online. I find that I can get bargains on-line, and I can find items that are not always available at the store in my size or at the same price that I can get them online. For example, when I was looking for a robe, I found the one that I wanted online. They were out of my size at the store. I compare prices, and I do a little of both.
I love shopping online when there's a free shipping special. I like to make a list of thing I'm going to buy then go online and compare prices.. Sometimes things online are way cheaper than in the store, and that way you spend your money well. I also like buying things in the store because I get to try on things like clothes shoes etc.. And if I'm not for sure how the item looks like in real life then I get to touch and explore it in the store before I buy an item that I'm not going to be satisfied with.
I do most of my shopping at the stores because by the time I get the money to shop it is usually too late for shipping.
I find more unique and better gifts with much less time than wandering through a mall. I can ship them directly to my family and friends, vs have to box and send via USPS. And I can shop any time day or night.
I prefer online because, I can compare prices w/ ease & locate products faster. However, some items just cant be found online or I dont have the time to wait for delivery.
Walmart
I really shop both ways. It just really depends on the deals being offered.
I love browsing and seeing everything. Shopping also gets me in the holiday mood so I can't imagine not going to the stores!
