Nowadays, Vietnamese shopaholics are in favour of purchasing products from e-commerce
floors due to their significant benefits. To begin with, users can easily find a wide range of
products, including electronic devices, clothes, food and drink, etc. on these shopping platforms;
therefore, they are really paradises for those who are addicted to shopping. They can spend a
whale of time looking for products, comparing their prices among multiple online stores and
reading customers’ reviews to make a final decision on what they will buy. Furthermore, cheaper
prices are a big advantage of buying online products. On special occasions these online markets
supply compulsive shoppers heaps of promo codes, helping them enjoy the feeling of obtaining
items at reduced prices. Another outstanding feature of e-commerce websites attracting new
buyers every day is its convenience. With a few mouse clicks at home, customers can own
everything available on e-commerce websites. They neither hastily browse through the products
nor waste their time bargaining like in the outside stores. This new way of shopping clearly
satisfies frequent shoppers’ demand.
