E-commerce MUHAMMAD

SAGHIR

Age and income are important factors which influence the decision of shopping

online. Lower income class doesnt shop online. People belonging to age group of 25-45 are the people who mostly shop online. People who belongs to higher age group dont have much knowledge about technology and believe in shopping the traditional way People do shop because of convenience as shopping online surpasses all the geographical barriers Pakistani society is such that people rely more on the advice given by their friends and family rather than believing an advertisement. People go online shopping they mostly visit those sites that are advised by their friends trusting their opinion that the website is safe 1. SUGGESTION/RECOMMENDATIONS (FUTURE WORK/EXTENTIONS): It takes a long period of time to increase the literacy rate of the country and traditions only change when people are more educated and open enough. But making internet more safe and educating people about e commerce will surely make businesses turn their ship towards e business. 1. EVALUTION OF GRADES:
