The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the globe. It has changed almost every aspect of our lifestyle and routine, our spending power, our priorities and our shopping habits. The prolonged lockdown in almost every part of the world has forced everyone to change the way they shop. Even as the world is opening up with most people fully vaccinated, consumers still feel safer shopping online for essential and non-essential items. From toilet papers to food items, pet food and accessories, supplements, body wave human hair wigs and tech items, online shopping is so convenient, quick and safe.
I am one who has a complete change in my shopping habits. From one who prefers mall shopping, I now buy most of my stuff online. And I must admit that I am now addicted to online shopping!
Our country is preparing to move into the endemic phase and the state where I live in will be transitioning into Phase 4, which is the final stage of the national recovery plan. However, I still have a phobia of getting into shopping malls and crowded places. After almost two years of being cooped up at home and living in fear of being infected by Covid, most of us have developed a phobia of crowded places. It’s going to take time for our state of mind to heal before we take the leap of faith to step out of our comfort zone into shopping malls and crowded public places once again. But things will never be the same again for a while until Covid is wiped off from the face of the earth.
I’m sure many of us will continue ordering online out of fear of a pandemic blowback. Whether you need a new pair of unisex tactical army boots for an upcoming hike with your friends or crave for your favourite brownie chips, you can order online instead and safe yourself the trouble of driving to the mall.
When Covid-19 first swept the world, many businesses were not prepared to deal with the new restrictions and shutdowns. As guidelines have been established for retail stores, restaurants and other businesses, many companies have found ways to cope. Many businesses partnered with highly reputed digital providers and incorporated automation and social marketing into their business plans. One such business is Kameymall, a large-scale international online shopping website. This website adopts a commission system, and only collects fees after the buyer and seller have successfully completed the transaction.
As many parts of the world have reopened, it’s time to get out of the house to have some fun and activities, with strict SOP in place, of course. For the past 1.5 years, children have missed out so much on outdoor activities and turned into dopamine frazzled zombies with long hours spent on their electrical gadgets. Organize a fun bumper ball game in the field for the children and their friends. Adults can join in too!
We have all been living with Covid-19 for well in excess of 600 days, so some of the habits we have gotten used to are likely to stick. Online shopping is here to stay for sure.
