ONLINE SHOPPING VS OFFLINE SHOPPING

The world of online shop is the development of internet technology. Internet according to Hine
(2007) can be approached in two aspects, namely the internet as aculture and as cultural artifacts
(Nasrullah, 2012:51). As a culture, originally Internet is a simple communication model when
compared to direct or face-to-face communication model. This direct interaction does not only
involve text as a symbol or sign in interacting only. Facial expressions, voice pressure, way of
looking, body position, religion, age, race, and so on are signs that also play a role in the
interaction between individual. The interaction in computer mediated communication (online
shop) based solely on text even emotion by using text with emoticon symbol. The development
of the internet further developed the phenomenon of other social activities, as well as direct
interactions between individuals.

Offline businesses have physical stores where consumers can immediately see the products
offered. Consumers can choose their own desired model, by trying the appropriate size and
knowing the quality of the materials used. Another problem that often occurs in purchases other
than in online stores is color. often the colors seen in photos are different from what they appear
to be. By shopping directly at the store, consumers will get products that match the desired color.
Direct experience with products is the reason why consumers have high trust in offline stores.
Easier customer service With a physical store, service to consumers can be done easily.
Consumer demands will not drag on because they can be resolved directly. Store owners can
directly provide product samples, answer consumer questions, handle customer complaints and
take action if needed. The payment system is more secure Consumers who visit offline stores
will usually pay for their groceries in cash.
This direct payment makes transactions in offline stores more secure. The money to pay directly
can be seen and calculated by the shop owner. In addition, there is no need to worry about
payment failures and fraud. Don't bother making deliveries Because the selected product is
delivered to the consumer immediately after paying, the shop owner does not have to bother with
shipping. Consumers don't have to worry about when the ordered goods arrive and don't have to
think about shipping costs which are usually bigger than transportation costs to the store. Not too
much competition Although online businesses are now mushrooming, offline stores still have
their own loyal customers. Because of that, offline stores usually compete with other offline
stores, which are not too many in number.
