Usually it is not that easy task to manage time to make outing or go shopping for Farzana Alam, a housewife, as she gets busy round the clock with homemaking and study.
Farzana, who recently gave birth of a girl child, finds it far more tough to go to market when the rush of customers at the fag end of Ramzan gets manifold. “With the crowds filling the markets and shopping centres to their brim, it has rather become cumbersome to go shopping for Eid. So, I’ve finished lion’s share of my Eid shopping and also bought some garment items and cosmetics for my 12-daly-old baby online,” said Farzana, who is also pursuing a university degree.
“Besides, I need not to waste so much time as the service providing businesses deal with their best with timely home delivery,” she added.
Afreen Akter Bithi, a mother of two, said for her, it is a way too convenient to purchase products online as the e-portals and Facebook pages have a series of samples to choose the best products.
“Here I don’t have to pick any bargains as the goods sell at reasonable prices. Moreover, the online store owners try to supply best quality products,” said the housewife who has been a regular online customer for the last three years.
Like her, a good many of the port city dwellers, especially housewives and students, are getting used to shopping online now-a-days.
And, as the yearly biggest shopping fiesta is on, the sales online are also skyrocketing.
Though a lot more relaxed, Shawkat Ali Shakil, a student, also finds it a task too tough to get done with shopping well ahead of Eid-ul Fitr.
“Yes, I do like roaming in the markets, but the unbearable flow of customers, especially before Eid, makes me feel both bored and battered; that’s why, I don’t really dare get to the shopping complexes,” said Shakil, who bought a punjabi and a wrist watch, and also gifts for his girlfriend from an online outlet.
With the growing number of customers, the online shop owners are also happy with the mounting sales.
Interestingly, most of the entrepreneurs who are young are running the business through Facebook pages.
From footwear to outfit of kids, males and females, cosmetics, posh electronic gadgets and perfumes are available online with home delivery service. There are little charges for home delivery within the city while outside the city the service costs a minimum charge.
“It is the very first Eid sale in our shop and the way we go response is much more inspiring than we expected,” said Momen Khan, co-owner of Nehal’s Wardrobe, his a Facebook page.
Echoing the same, Marufa Yousuf, another entrepreneur who started the online trade on a Facebook page ‘Biborton’ two years back with her cousin, said the sales so far is too good for her. “Despite doing the business with a small sum of money, we have already outnumbered last year’s customers, logging higher sales.”
