Do You purchase in store or Online?
just picture this: you step with a grand façade, immediately teleporting yourself from a sweaty as well as congested city block to a big well-lit space, a gust of awesome air-conditioner breeze momentarily blowing you away (though আক্ষরিক না!). As you recuperate as well as look around, you encounter shelf after shelf of gorgeous handbags, possibly some in their own glass cases, while some as parts of life-sized diorama-esque art installations. Interjected in between are belts, scarves, wallets, billfolds, as well as other knick-knacks – perhaps even some ready-to-wear – however the handbags are certainly the stars of the show (at least for you). The aroma of fresh leather, intermixing with the faint odor of perfumes, integrated with the glimmer of gold as well as silver hardware under the stunning lights, is sufficient to make you revel in the marvelous view.
But that was just the vista. Soon, you’re greeted by an army of sales associates (SAs), who immediately cheer up your day with a compliment (or two) as well as a glass of champagne. You ensconce yourself on a plushy sofa as well as admire the view while sipping on your drink, as well as presently get to search with the exquisite range of handbags. You try a few on, as well as amidst the exaggerated aah-ing as well as ooh-ing of the SAs, you make your choice, their radiant compliments inflating your confidence about your decision all the more.
You then proceed to the counter… only to find across the crushing realization that you’ve forgotten to bring any type of money or card whatsoever. For the very first time, you likewise notice the other people who have all of a sudden materialized all around you, eyeing the handbag you’re holding. “This bag is MINE,” you think, however the SAs nod dejectedly. as well as from the now upset mob of onlookers, your arch-nemesis steps forward, snatches your dear purse from your arms, as well as marches off on a high equine (which you likewise promise didn’t exist up until now), while everybody cheers for them. The next thing you know, you’re falling into a deep, dark abyss of regret, misgivings, as well as self-doubt.
Okay, that’s exactly how the events had played out in my dream. In reality, I haven’t yet had the chance of experiencing buying in a high-end brand’s flagship store (now you understand what’s on my container list), nor do I have any type of arch-nemesis to fight over purses with (in hindsight, it most likely had to do something with imply Girls).

It is, however, this rose-tinted version (at least, as much as the part where I make my method to the counter) that appears in our minds when speaking about the in-person high-end buying experience. Yes, a well-decorated as well as air-conditioned designer store can feel like an oasis in the middle of a desert, however what we frequently fail to remember is that we have to navigate with the desert, i.e., the crowds, the dust, the grime, or, even if you’re traveling en voiture, some web traffic at the extremely least, to get there in the very first place. Hence, is buying at the store truly as glorified as it’s implied to be?
Plus, to those of us for whom using pants is a chore, the act of having to physically transfer ourselves to the stores, no matter exactly how appealing or luxurious, can seem tiresome. as well as that is where the recent introduction of on the internet buying comes as nothing short of a blessing. Of course, it’s been in existence of what seems like time immemorial now (although really just timid of two decades), the monumental shift towards the online medium complying with COVID policies has no question been instrumental in offering us all with the comfort of buying our preferred handbags from our homes.
Now, at very first glance, buying on the internet as well as buying in-store seem a world apart, as well as truthfully, they are. however the end goal is extremely frequently the exact same – to acquire a high-end purse. Does it matter, then, which implies we select to acquire in purchase to get our hands on it? Well, that truly depends upon a great deal of factors, which in turn, may end up mostly affecting our supreme complete satisfaction (or dissatisfaction!) with the purchase. Hence, right here are a few of the numerous methods on the internet buying differs from the in-store experience as well as exactly how they shape our options as well as perceptions.
Comfort & Convenience
Online buying is convenient. There, I’ve stated it. as well as in today’s world, where benefit as well as accessibility are frequently valued much more than anything else, circumnavigating long waiting lines, as well as the hassles of commuting through the online medium not only seems like a natural progression however possibly eventuality.
But exactly how would you define “convenience”? being able to rapidly search with a few choices as well as location the purchase from anywhere you want? Not driving across town (or perhaps flying halfway around the world) to get your hands on what is just a purse at the end of the day? What about the costs of having to pay additional for shipping? Or worse, what if you’re charged for something that you don’t like as well as are really returning to the retailer? Sadly, hidden charges do exist, as well as so do paid returns, although numerous brands as well as e-tailers have been warming as much as the concept of making all shipments as well as returns free, particularly in the high-end segment. Therefore, the benefit element lies on a spectrum of the choices offered to the individual – do you occur to have a great deal of outlets in the vicinity of your residence/workplace? possibly just stopping by someday as well as trying on the style you’ve been eyeing for a long time couldn’t hurt, as well as you can make an informed decision while not having to pay additional – win-win! If, however, the closest store to your location is a 2-3 hours’ drive away, or what you’re eyeing isn’t possibly offered in any type of outlet near you at all. In such cases, unless you aren’t traveling, on the internet may well be your only resort, as well as you have my finest desires on your journey!
Speed & Efficiency
Convenience is one thing, as well as a extremely considerable one at that, no doubt, however speed is completely another. If you’re taking a look at the especially desirable hourglass bag from Gucci’s The Hacker Project, or possibly a crocodile Proenza Schouler PS1 that’s marked well (WELL) below its retail price, it’s likely that by the time you handle to run to the store, it’ll long be gone. On the other hand, at just the press of a button, you may be able to make it yours from an e-tailer. Or perhaps you’re doing some last-minute buying to prevent your spouse’s steely stares for forgetting your anniversary (again)…and now you have the choice of having your exquisite present provided to your doorstep! provided progressively quicker shipment systems (with same-day or next-day shipment being offered by many), why would anybody want to have to physically go to the store, right?
Well, right here again, there is a trade-off: the enhanced speed of shipment is, of course, great, however what if what you end up getting isn’t completely satisfactory? There needs to be just an efficient (and speedy) return system in place. Can that assist ward off your spouse’s eye-rolls, though? *Shivers*

Ambiance & Experience
As obvious from my nocturnal overtures, the atmosphere is possibly the most significant advantage of the in-store buying experience. The decorative screens as well as the attractive range of handbags, in general, type a unforgettable part of the buying experience for numerous as well as may even be a huge chauffeur for impulse-buyers. For Hermès aficionados, in particular, the in-store experience plays a essential function – the fabled “backroom” never failing to garner thrilled squeals from shoppers, while it’s one of the methods loyalists of the brand may be able to establish their reputations as clients in purchase to have their holy grails provided to them. On the other hand, if you’re buying online, while impulsive purchases are definitely not uncommon, it’s possibly a bit simpler to speculate, compare as well as make an informed decision, particularly as it’s likely that the handbag in concern will be provided by several e-tailers (again, depending upon its desirability). Still, the sensory experience of the purchase – the surroundings, perhaps your gossiping colleagues or your shouting infant, may not offer you with the perfect specify of mind anybody would like to be in when happily buying for high-end handbags. as well as you’re bound to miss the inflated praises of the SAs, if not anything else.
To SA or not to SA?
Speaking of SAs…Where do we even start? There is that dedicated SA who’ll phone call you up as soon as anything remotely similar to what’s on your wishlist appears at the store as well as perhaps even deal with aggression from other interested celebrations on your behalf. There may be that SA who becomes a finest buddy of sorts for you, as well as you can’t even picture the brand without their presence. On the other end of the spectrum, there may be that SA whose mindset might be such a huge turn-off that it sours your experience at that specific store permanently (although everybody has their poor days). as well as then, there might be that SA who is intentionally snobby to convert a “browser” into a “shopper.” If you’re buying from the comfort of your home, on the other hand, it might be possible that the only interaction you may have is just the chatbot that you location your purchase to – ideal for the introverts among us. however provided the broad variety of experience one may have to face, SAs typeইন-স্টোর কেনার অভিজ্ঞতার একটি অপরিহার্য উপাদান এবং সেইসাথে শেষ পর্যন্ত আমাদের সম্পূর্ণ সন্তুষ্টি মাত্রা রুপায়নে একটি ফাংশন খেলুন।
সন্তুষ্টি মাত্রা
এখন আমরা সম্ভবত সবচেয়ে বিষয়গত বিট কি আসে। এবং, সম্ভবত, আমাদের মধ্যে কেউই কেবল দুটি বিকল্পের বাইরে থাকবে না। প্লাস, আমাদের জন্য সন্তোষজনক হতে পারে অন্যদের জন্য সন্তোষজনক হতে পারে না: আমাদের মধ্যে কয়েকটি আমাদের বিকল্পগুলির সাথে এত ইতিবাচক হতে পারে যে আমরা “এটি কিনুন” পছন্দের সাথে পাশাপাশি আমরা যা পেয়েছি তার সাথে একেবারে উপাদান হতে পারে। অন্যদিকে, পিকিয়ার পাশে থাকা ব্যক্তিদের মধ্যে যারা সত্যিকারের কিছুতেই আনন্দিত হয় না যা তাদের পাশাপাশি আশেপাশের সকলের কাছ থেকে যাচাই করার চেষ্টা করে নি। এই সত্যটি যোগ করুন যে বিস্তারিত বিবরণটি আমাদের জন্য সমগ্র অভিজ্ঞতাটি ধ্বংস করার ক্ষমতা রয়েছে, আমরা ইন্টারনেটে কেনা হয়েছে কিনা তা আমরা কেন ক্রয়ের সর্বাধিক সম্পূর্ণ সন্তুষ্টি অর্জন করতে পারি, তা সত্ত্বেও এটি কতটা চ্যালেঞ্জিং করতে পারে তা আমরা বুঝতে পারি। অথবা দোকান এ।
পণ্যসম্ভার কেনাকাটা সম্পর্কে কি?
এখন পর্যন্ত, আমরা কেবল ইন্টারনেটে বা অন্যথায় বিক্রেতাদের থেকে বিলাসবহুল কিনে নেওয়ার পাশাপাশি সমস্যাগুলি সম্পর্কে চিন্তা করেছি। এখন আমরা সমীকরণ মধ্যে resale পরিচয় করিয়ে, জিনিস অনেক জটিল পেতে। নিঃসন্দেহে, ইন্টারনেটে রিসেলারের পক্ষে উপযুক্ত মাধ্যম, তবে এটি একইভাবে প্রক্রিয়াটিকে ভুল উপস্থাপনের পাশাপাশি সমস্যাগুলির উপর বেশি সংবেদনশীলতার সাথে বেশি সংবেদনশীল করে তোলে (বিশেষত ব্যক্তিগত-বিক্রয়ের সাইটগুলি ইবে এবং সেইসাথে vinted এবং সেইসাথে আমার ইভেন্টে সেই সাইটগুলিতে এখনও আমাকে অবশিষ্ট উদ্বেগ প্রদান করে), যতক্ষণ না যথাযথ প্রমাণীকরণ এবং যাচাইকরণ পদ্ধতিগুলি স্থানে থাকে। অবশ্যই, ফ্যাশনফিলের পাশাপাশি রিয়েলরিয়ালের মতো প্ল্যাটফর্মের পপ-আপ আউটলেটগুলি ক্রিস্টির পাশাপাশি আর্টসুরিয়ালের মতো জনপ্রিয় নিলামের ঘরগুলি রয়েছে (যদিও সাধারণত এটি সাধারণত অনেক ছোট্ট দুর্যোগের জন্য স্থায়ী হয়)। তা সত্ত্বেও, স্টোরগুলি একটি বিস্তৃত মার্জিনের দ্বারা “সত্যিকারের অভিজ্ঞতা” ধারণ করে – উদাহরণস্বরূপ, নতুন চামড়া বা নতুন চামড়া বা উচ্চ-শেষ খুচরা বিক্রেতাদের মধ্যে উপস্থিত নয় এমন একটি নতুন চামড়া বা সাধারণ আউরা এর সুবাস। তবে আবার, আমরা কি রিসলেয়ারে ক্রয় করছি যখন আমরা সত্যিই একটি উচ্চ-শেষ অভিজ্ঞতা প্রয়োজন? সবশেষে, আমরা নিজেদেরকে ভাগ্যবান মনে করি যদি আমরা একটি হ্যান্ডব্যাগকে ভূমি রাখতে পরিচালিত করি যা বিক্রেতার বর্ণনাগুলির সাথে মেলে। সম্ভবত আমরা সব সময়ে একসঙ্গে যেতে fringe বেনিফিট আশা করা উচিত নয়।
Covid-19 Pandemic একটি হারে ইন্টারনেট কেনার উপর সহজতর হয়েছে যে কেউ কখনও প্রত্যাশিত হতে পারে না (যদি আমরা সৎ থাকি, মহামারী সম্পর্কে কিছুই প্রত্যাশিত হতে পারে না), পাশাপাশি যেমন, বিশিষ্ট বিক্রেতাদের পাশাপাশি ব্র্যান্ডগুলি একইভাবে , যাদের মধ্যে অনেকগুলি অনলাইনে অফার করতে অনিচ্ছুক ছিল, সেখানে ব্যাপকভাবে এমন সাইটগুলিতে বিনিয়োগ করতে শুরু করেছে যা প্রকৃত ক্রয় অভিজ্ঞতাটিকে সাবধানে সম্ভব হিসাবে অনুকরণ করে। তবে ইন্টারনেটে ইন্টারনেটের উদ্ভাবনের কারণে ইন্টারনেট কেনার উপর সত্য হয়েছে। মহামারী বয়সটি কেবলমাত্র অপ্রত্যাশিত কিছুের পরিবর্তে ঘটনাকে মহিমান্বিত করেছে।
এবং তাই, উদ্বেগ সর্বদা, ইন্টারনেটে বা দোকানে, যা আপনি পছন্দ করেন?
আমি যা বলেছি তা পুনরাবৃত্তি করার জন্য, সম্ভবত আমরা সবাই আজকাল কিছু ডিগ্রী উভয়ের সমন্বয় ব্যবহার করি, তবে আমরা কি সবসময় একটি নির্দিষ্ট এক সম্বন্ধে একটি সম্বন্ধ থাকি না? আমি ব্যক্তিগতভাবে, এখনও একটি শারীরিক উচ্চ-শেষ দোকানটি উপভোগ করার বিশেষ সুযোগ ছিল না, সেইসাথে আমি যখনই পারি তখন স্পষ্টভাবে এগিয়ে যেতে হবে। তবে আপনার সম্পর্কে কি, আপনি কি চয়ন করেন?
