Digital Economy… Tips and alerts for better online shopping

In recent years, digital technologies have revolutionized the way many consumers around the world buy and interact.

In a report published by the Spanish magazine "Moi Negotios e Economia", the author Jose Marti said that the digital market has revolutionized the world of shopping, especially with regard to managing our shopping lists that we can organize and share as never before.

You can also monitor the price discrepancies in these listings and receive offers for products or services of interest to us.

The writer added that the Internet has become a wonderful digital market in which we can buy products and benefit from the services of suppliers all over the world.

The emergence of the application service allows us to perform this entire process by finding information about products and services, monitoring and purchasing them anywhere and anytime.

price comparison
The author mentioned that the digital economy enabled consumers unprecedentedly to know all the details about the offers made, such as comparing prices and suppliers, as well as managing the entire purchase and sale process via the Internet.

Thanks to the use of one of the most famous digital markets in the world such as Amazon, it became possible to search for information about the product and the supplier, know the opinions of other consumers, compare prices from different sellers, buy the product, manage and track the delivery process, in addition to exchanging the consumption experience and managing the return of the product in case of dissatisfaction with it.

Troublesome sides
The digital economy is not without some annoying aspects despite all the positives that are characterized by it, especially that we are facing more complicated purchases than others, because we do not have much time to compare and analyze all offers in the market.

There are tools available to monitor prices that inform us of the evolution of the product price in the market so that we can check whether we are facing a real offer in the price of the product or unrealistic discounts that only encourage us to buy.

On the other hand, the ease of shopping from anywhere in the world can encourage the purchase of products or services that we really don't need.

The consumer runs the risk of overly relying on the advice and services of some platforms without comparing offers outside these platforms, as is the case with other large companies in the digital economy that are suspected of always enhancing the monopoly process.

The writer pointed out that the success of those platforms that facilitate display management in current digital markets can become a barrier for consumers who can be overly directed towards specific offers.

So it is important to remember that technology should be attractive to serve people. Generally, recommendations and suggestions are likely to overly influence our purchasing decisions.

Warning Alerts
The writer alerted the digital consumer to some important aspects in order to take advantage of the digital markets and avoid their damages.

1- The independence of the buyer: it should compare the offers, and some suppliers who do not work under the umbrella of agents or platforms can provide the consumer with the best offers.

2- Security: It relates to the necessity of taking into account the issue of security, as online fraud is more than stealing data from the consumer card.

3- Warranty: It is imperative that the product or service you purchase is compatible with the information you have received and that the online transaction provide all security guarantees.

4- Responsible consumption : It is necessary to have common sense and commitment to responsible consumption in order to make the products and services that we acquire our lives better and the purchase does not become just a digital entertainment.
