Alternatives are still clearly less popular

I just love it. I come home around 10pm, and

then I do my shopping. Takes me 20

minutes… I compare prices, I can easily

manage the process, it’s less expensive.

Even if I’m against it, it is so easy I just

cannot not use it...

Online shopping – a love / hate relationship?

Online shopping universe

Carefree

Controlled

Experience focus

Practical focus

Ik ben meestal goed op de

hoogte van de kostprijs van de

producten die ik koop

Ik geniet er van om te kuieren

door de winkel en daarbij op

zoek te gaan naar nieuwe

producten

Ik ga steeds opzoek naar de

beste kwaliteit, de prijs is van

ondergeschikt belangAls ik iets koop, is voor mij de

prijs van een product of dienst

belangrijker dan het merk

Ik probeer steeds de nieuwste

trends te volgen

Ik raadpleeg meestal reviews

voordat ik overga tot een

aankoop van een product of

dienst

Ik durf wel eens een impulsieve

aankoop doen

Wanneer ik een merk leuk vindt,

blijf ik dit ook voor lange tijd

gebruiken

Wanneer ik iets koop, vergelijk ik

meestal de prijzen van

verschillende aanbieders

Voordat ik iets nieuw koop, ga ik

eerst te rade bij vrienden en

familie

Ik word vaak om koopadvies

gevraagd

Ik zie mezelf niet echt als een

typische spaarder

Ik koop graag merken die passen

bij mijn eigen stijl

Ik koop liever in een winkel waar

ik gemakkelijk terug terecht kan

met mijn vragen en problemen

Als ik iets koop, wil ik het

product kunnen vastpakken met

mijn eigen handen

Ik vind het niet leuk dat ik mijn

aankoop niet onmiddellijk heb

als ik iets online koop

Ik hou ervan om te gaan

winkelen met vrienden

Ik koop nog altijd het liefst iets in

een fysieke winkel

Naar de winkel gaan, is voor mij

een echte belevenis, het is meer

dan winkelen alleen

Als je iets online aankoopt, weet

je niet exact wanneer je het

uiteindelijk zal hebben (bv niet

thuis bij leveringen)

Als ik op het punt sta om in een

fysieke winkel iets te kopen,

check ik vaak de prijs nog even

online

Als ik iets wil kopen in een

webwinkel, check ik altijd eerst

of deze website een

kwaliteitslabel heeft

Online winkelen is veilig

Als ik online winkel, geeft ik niet

graag de gegevens van mijn

kredietkaart

Webshops zijn in het algemeen

goedkoper dan fysieke winkels

Ik heb meer vertrouwen in een

webshop als die een

kwaliteitslabel heeft

Als ik online shop, mis ik het

sociale contact met andere

mensen

Als ik iets online koop, ben ik

bereid om te betalen voor een

levering op de dag zelf
