The study reveals that the female is less doing the online shopping than male. The male is more into online shopping
because they enjoy doing shopping whether it is traditional shopping or e-shopping. The young generation are more
often purchasing from online sites because of the revolution in the technology among the youth population and they
can use this technology for their well-being more than other age group category. Earlier people more use the
traditional shopping. Now also people who are not aware of the several shopping sites and not that technically
advanced are less into internet for shopping. This paper extends the studies while asking the questions from the
consumer who are into online shopping as well as traditional shopping to rate both the channels in the terms of
performance, products, time of delivery, quality, and other related aspects of online and offline shopping. By
accepting this approach, investigators, and experts can gain valuable insights into the motivations to adopt a definite
channel for shopping.
