29. Is shopping a popular activity in your country

Shopping is a very popular activity in my country. If you ever go to shopping malls, you will find that the malls are filled with people who are eager to shop. In a recent survey, I read that more than 60% of the population of in my country loves to shop.

 

30. How have shopping habits changed over recent years?

Shopping habits of people have changed drastically over the years. I know a lot of people who have stopped going to malls as they believe that online shopping is much more convenient. Moreover, due to the recent pandemic, most people tend not to spend a lot of money, and impulsive buying has reduced dramatically.

The primary purpose of advertising is to inform potential customers about a product and it can augment the revenue of the company. People get influenced by these ads, and they end up buying things, which they do not really require.

Although most people believe that online shopping would further get popular, I believe that online shopping would reduce. For the last 18 months, most people have been confined in their houses and now they just want to get out. Thus, there is a high probability that online shopping would reduce.
