In Growmysites, we discussed how apps have changed the way we live. Apps have simplified daily tasks like never before, making them a necessity to humanity today. Most of our lives (and work) goes forward only because of certain apps. In a way, apps have altered the way we do things nowadays. Here, we are going to look into one such aspect, as to how app technology changed the way we shop.

Going out to shop for something used to be a tedious affair. Be it a daily thing like getting groceries or even fun activities like shopping for an interesting book or an outfit. It required you to be out, to physically be present at a store to make a purchase. Things wouldn’t simply come to you if you sit at home. With a lot of disadvantages like only being able to so much at one go and needing to go to different places to get different things, technology was expected to bring some effortlessness to this process. And here we are, at this point in time, where Growmysites can literally get anything at the touch of a button, at our very own doorstep

Along with this convenience, the availability of everything in one place called the internet has made customers more aware. Once upon a time, the customers hear about the product from people they know or the company selling it through advertisements. But now with apps, customers are armed with more information than they would get within one store. People are spending more time researching the product before just making an impulse buy. And Even if they are having those impulsive feelings of shopping, there’s no need of leaving the house. Where it was once “If you need something you need to get out!” now we are at a situation where it is better just to get what you need at the comfort of your home (with this corona mess especially!).

Of course, this change has not only affected the way people buying things, it changed the way businesses run too. Businesses have started to give less importance to physical stores and even cater to markets outside their home base because of the ease of accessibility apps have given them. Earlier huge investments went into getting and maintaining these spaces and now businesses are paying big money to get the best app for their business. Can we deny that we haven’t been affected by app development, Now?
