A Study on Consumer Behavior Towards Online and Offline Retail Shopping
This research project explores how consumer behavior varies between online and offline retail
shopping.
With the rapid growth of e-commerce and changes in consumer preferences, it's important to
analyze what drives customer choices across both platforms.
Objectives of the Study
- To compare consumer preferences between online and offline shopping.
- To identify the key factors influencing shopping decisions.
- To analyze demographic trends in consumer behavior.
Analysis and Interpretation
The following charts illustrate consumer shopping preferences and key factors influencing their
decisions. The data was gathered from 100+ survey respondents.
Analysis: A majority (60%) prefer online shopping due to its convenience, followed by 25%
preferring offline shopping. 15% of consumers use both channels.
Interpretation: Convenience and variety are the most common reasons why consumers shop online,
with pricing also playing a crucial role.
Interpretation: Consumers prefer offline shopping to physically inspect products and due to trust in
local retailers. Personal interaction also remains valuable.
Conclusion
Consumer behavior is evolving, with a noticeable shift towards online platforms. However, offline
retail still holds relevance, especially in categories like groceries and personal care. A hybrid model
combining both experiences may define the future of retail.
