Today the Internet has given us a vehicle for convenience and savings. There's the ease and convenience of shopping from home and the savings of not wasting any gas or paying department store prices. And we know gas prices will never be what they were in the 60s or 70s. Internet shopping is quick, safe and cost effective. And new software programs make Internet shopping secure knowing the credit card information is safe and secure.
And no matter what you're shopping for the Internet also offers another ingredient... wholesale discount shopping. Now let's take a few moments and consider two scenario's:
Department store V Internet shopping...
At a department store, when you shop for a fragrance, you'll probably choose an upscale store such as Saks Fifth Ave, Neiman Marcus, or Bloomingdale's. There's no secret that shopping for a fragrance at one of these stores can be expensive especially when you factor in the store's daily operational cost. Every item including fragrances has that cost added to the price. Savings is not part of the deal.
So no matter where you shop: Saks Fifth Ave, Neiman Marcus, or Bloomingdale's the price you pay is helping the store pay the bills. Shopping on line, on the other hand, is about saving money and still getting the same quality item you'd buy at Saks or Neiman Marcus. And of course the convenience of never leaving your home and putting wear and tear on your vehicle.
When it comes to buying fragrances online it's a combination of discount pricing and purchasing a quality product. The reason for the discount is there is no overhead because there is no day-to-day cost of running a store. And there is no inventory. Now when you do this very brief comparison doesn't it make sense to shop online for the convenience and savings? There's another thing you don't have to worry about and that is...
'STICKER SHOCK'. There's no 'sticker shock' when you're shopping online. For example a 1.7 oz spray bottle of your favorite fragrance may cost an eye popping $70.00!
Shop online and that $70.00 could drop to an easier on the pocket book price of $50.00. You'd save $20 which may be enough for another fragrance. You buy two fragrances rather then one... is that ok for you?
So the choice is yours: spend more then you plan at a department store or spend less for the same fragrance and go no further then your home computer.
