Just a few years ago, when you needed something, you would go to your local shops probably in your hometown, but today shopping for almost anything can be done online and of course this makes shopping easier. Previously, if you lived in a place with limited merchandise to choose from, consumers chose the option of ordering from a catalogue. This generally required you to fill out an order form which was mailed to the company, and was then mailed back to you, a long winded way to buy something that you couldn’t get locally. The onset of the Internet age has changed the way people now do their shopping or send gifts; it is so simple and can be done 24/7, 365 days of the year. The World Wide Web was created in 1990 by Tim Berners-Lee and opened for business use in 1991 and it did not take businesses long to begin taking advantage of the potential for reaching their customers. Banks began to offer online services, restaurants began to promote their cuisines and shops, garden centres, theatres, travel, all began using this ‘shopping complex’. The consumer soon learnt the advantages of online shopping, presenting them with many choices at the click of a mouse, and could find any product from a pair of shoes to a fast car, you can find just about anything online. Online shopping gives the shopper the ability to compare prices and merchandise, and is a font of information. You can pick the best prices, the highest quality, and the best customer service, and more importantly you don’t have to spend money on petrol traveling somewhere in order to get the items you need. Online facilities are so well organized now that items arrive in no time at all and more importantly shipping is very often free. A popular commodity often shopped for online is garden plants, it beats the old way of thumbing through catalogues and sending an order form, you can go online and shop for garden bulbs, garden shrubs, perennial plants, garden furniture, send a gift, gain information about what bedding plants are suitable as hanging basket plants or container plants.
