Benefits Of Online Shopping

Now we want to share with you more about the Benefit of Online Shopping, compared to the conventional shopping. Let us just imagine first our conventional shopping experience. As you entered a store, you will be greeted by the sales person ( if they are not busy with other customers ), then you start to find the products that you are looking for.

You need to spend some time to find that product because there are many other products are displayed together. Sometime you may get distracted and even frustrated because there are too many things and the one that you want is like a needle in hay.

Once you find what you want to buy, you proceed to the cashier, sometimes you need to queue and wait until your turn to purchase and pay your thing. That is how the typical conventional shopping process.

Compared to the conventional shopping, there are at least 4 benefits that online shopping has:

1. Price
This is the first and maybe the most obvious reason why we buy online. Usually the price on the online store is cheaper. Because the cost of selling online is less than the conventional store. Less cost in store rental fee and employee salary. Go online and you can save your money. You can save your petrol, or transportation fee when you stay at your home to shop online.
Time is money, when you shop online you also save your precious time for transportation and walking around the shopping center to find the product that you want.

2.Convenience
When you shop online, the store is always available for you 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. You can shop from anywhere at any time, that is convenience. You don't need to spend time to drive to the store, find a parking place to get the thing that you want. You can shop at 2 am in the morning in your pajamas, and get the thing delivered to you. That is convenience. The shop is always there for you to shop any time from any place.

3.Control
Imagine this, as you enter a store, there is no other shopper and all the store staff are there to serve you. You just say what you want, they will get it for you and what you need to do is to sit down comfortably. You can ask them to bring as many thing for you to try or look at as many as possible. You have all the Control in online shopping! You choose any thing that you want, at any time, and at any place.

4.Information
You can compare many products from 15 stores in just 1 hour, to get the price range and product variety. You will be better informed about the thing that you want, this will bring a more satisfying shopping experience.

These are the 4 benefits that we discovered based on our research and experienced of online shopping. The tips that we want to share with you in order to maximize the benefit of your online shopping is to find a trustworthy merchant with a great customer service and excellent quality of product or service.

We hope this article may help you and enhance your online shopping experience.

Online Shopping, is it safe?

In this article we want to discuss and share about the safety of online shopping. We have shopped online for several time. From our experience the most problematic about shopping online is the safety factor. Yes it is convenient, but there is a possibility of fraud. We just received a phishing email recently ( fake email which purpose is to get your personal particular, for more detail about phishing please check About Phishing at Wiki ).

Yes, safety is very crucial. How many of you feel doubtful of buying online because you are afraid that the product that you buy is not delivered?

How many of you are afraid that the merchant will misuse your credit card number? Which is more popular called as Identity theft.

We want to share with you from our experience in order to minimize the risk of fraud, phishing, or spoof website. There are 3 important points that we can take note:

1. Identity
Basically we need to know the merchant. Compare to the conventional shopping where we can meet the seller and look at the real product that we are going to buy, in online shopping we don't meet the seller and look at the product directly. What we can do here is to get as many information as possible provided by the online merchant from the website / blogshop. We will find out their identity, such as their name, location, picture, email, etc. If the merchant is really trustworthy, they will reveal their identity as many as possible.

2. Payment method
We learn that paypal is one of the solution for safe payment method, because the merchant will not be given your credit card no. Paypal become the mediator for the transaction to take place. But please be careful to check the secure link icon on the web page and make sure that you really make the transaction from the real Paypal. One fraud method is to make a fake website which is very similar to the real pay pal website and you will just key in your user name and password. If you are a paypal user, you are encouraged to read the safety resources provided ( Paypal security centre buying safely guide from Paypal ).
For bank transfer, it is considered safe because it is the merchant who will give the buyer their account no.

3. Ask before Buying
If you are really in doubt but you really want to buy the product, please send email to ask some question from the merchant. From your contact you can investigate more whether the merchant is reliable or not.

Afterall, the merchant who wants to have a long last business will never ever cheat their buyers or customers.

From the three things that we have shared, we managed to shop online safely so far. This article is open for any comment and discussion from other online shopper so that we may help one another to build a more convenient and safe online shopping environment. Feel free to give any comment! :D

We hope this article may help you and we wish you an enjoyable online shopping experience.

Swarovski bead, Swarovski Crystal pearl from Create Your Style™ with CRYSTALLIZED™ -Swarovski Elements

We have been saying about Swarovski crystal, Swarovski pearl, Swarovski bead, but what Swarovski is all about? Is it the same with the Swarovski crystal that you may see in the shopping mall? Yes! They are from the same company, but for the benefit of those who have never heard about Swarovski, I quote the company description and the history from Wikipedia.

Swarovski is the luxury brand name for the range of precision-cut lead crystal glass products produced by companies owned by Swarovski AG of Feldmeilen, near Zürich, Switzerland. Swarovski crystal was first created when Daniel Swarovski invented an automatic cutting machine in 1892. In 1895 the Swarovski Company was founded when he established a crystal cutting factory in Wattens. Here he could take advantage of local hydroelectricity for the energy-intensive grinding processes he had patented. ( Source : Wikipedia -Swarovski website)

The materials that we use for most of our product are from the Create Your Style™ with CRYSTALLIZED™ -Swarovski Elements.

There are two types of Swarovski element that we use currently, they are: Swarovski Bead, Swarovski Crystal Pearl.

For the full list of Swarovski Bead please refer to:

And the Swarovski Crystal Pearl please refers to:

By using the Swarovski crystal, we are able to make high quality products but we also want to push the price as low as possible. As an accessories lover, we like to see a very good product but the price is too high, so that is why we want to provide a product that has good value for money. We want our customer to feel good wearing our earrings, necklace and other accessories, and also satisfied by buying with a very affordable price.

We hope that this article may help you in the brief introduction about Swarovski.
