“Internet shopping offers an important price advantage. Internet
retailers can sell items at a lower cost since they have lower
overheads (at least in theory). This means that for some items, online
shopping - as with mail order shopping - will attract consumers for
whom cost is the most important factor. However, cost, as with the
other factors described above, can influence individual consumers in
different ways. For some of the people we interviewed, searching for
the cheapest price was something of an end in itself and they would go
to the extent of checking with numerous Web sites and online stores
until they made a purchase…”
