Online Shopping Mimics Gas
prices. It's true; as gas prices
rise, online shopping increases.
Several studies show a direct
correlation between fuel prices
and online shopping. It makes
sense. Higher fuel prices mean
less discretionary income, which
leads to less physical shopping.
Why would you drive to several
stores searching for the best
deal when you can go online and
comparison shop?
Fuel
prices not only direct where we
shop, but they also impact the
cost of goods and services.
Transportation costs increase
with higher fuel prices which
leads to product inflation.
Inflation further reduces
discretionary income driving
more online sales.
Regardless of the lure of online
shopping, people still want
immediate gratification. Area
websites provide access to local
products. Consumers may be
willing to drive if they can
purchase a product immediately.
As fuel prices rise, make
sure your website is up to date.
With or without e-commerce
options, a local website has
advantages.
There's no need to
repeat yourself. I ignored you just fine the first
time.
Sorry, I can't go to
work tomorrow I have a motivational fracture.
It was a very sad day
when I realized my universal remote control did
not, in fact, control the universe. Not even
remotely.
Dear autocorrect, I'm
getting a bit tired of your shirt.
I wasn't planning on
going for a run today. But those cops came out of
no where.
There is no "we" in
chocolate. (or bacon)
A perfect metaphor for
my life would be "Someone trying to stand up in a
hammock".
I'm at the place in
my life where errands count as going out.
The chains on my mood
swing just snapped. RUN!
I believe in you. I
also believe in Bigfoot so don't get too excited.
Coworkers are like
Christmas lights. They hang together, half of them
don't work and the other half aren't so bright.
