Photobucket

Poll question for week 6 was “In your opinion, what is the most important reason people choose a business of online shopping?” and we get some answers for that. The options are time freedom, low cost, earning income, reach global audience, and reducing unwanted products. However, no respondents have chosen the answer of “reach global audience” and “reducing unwanted products”.

According to the poll, there are 50% of the respondents chose the answer of “time freedom”. There are many possibilities for this answer. First, people can access to internet anytime they want. Thus, sellers can choose to sell the products early in the morning, late night or anytime they like. Second, sellers can choose to sell the product for a certain period of time such as three days, one week, or one month.

Then, low cost has the second high percentage which is 33%. Low cost may due to many reasons but the most important factor is sellers no need to rent a shop or store. Therefore, they can save the renting cost, sales person salary, electric bill, and other costs.

There are 17% of respondents chose the answer of “earning income”. That was true that sellers can sell anything and earn income from it. The prices of some products are higher than the original price. For example, a limited watch, a limited branded bag, or a stamp which has high historical value.

In short, most of the respondents think that time freedom is the most important reason that people choose a business of online shopping. Follow by the reasons of low cost and earning income.
