I asked several students on campus what their preference was pertaining to shopping many said they like to go to the mall instead of doing it online.
In general, the most popular reason was the entire shopping experience as a whole.
"I like to go shopping and try things on. I hate online shopping!" stated Michelle Nanfang.
Students stated going to the mall while being with friends makes the experience more fun and enjoyable.
Being able to try on the clothing was also a popular reason as to why they would rather shopping in the mall instead of doing it on the net.
Instant Gratification was brought to light when asking these questions, people don't want to wait for their items anymore. They want them as soon as possible.
Students told us that they want to be able to take their clothes home with them right away. They did not like having to wait for it to come in the mail.
Elizabeth Dat stated, "I prefer to go shopping because you cant try things on online. Also because you can't get [the item] right that second."
You also run the risk of it not being the correct size or the particular brand may run smaller or larger.
People have different body types, and alot of times clothes look different on your body than they do in advertisements." said Lomenie Etienne
It is a true statement you wouldn't know that unless you were to try it on in the store.
On the contrary, others stated that they do not have enough time to travel to the mall, then to spend time shopping and trying on clothing.
This weeks poll answers varied, but for the most part the majority find the shopping experience to be fun and enjoyable.
People want the instant gratification of receiving their purchases immediately versus the gamble of your clothing not fitting and having to return it.
