I recently visited the large commercial website Amazon.com. On this website, an individual can find almost any product they want. From books, electronics, movies, and CD’s, the website can safisfy hundreds of commercial consumer needs. In my opinion, the site is very useful for online shopping. Amazon is easy to navigate, narrow down your products, and eventually make the purchase.

Today I was shopping for rare, hard to find movies and DVDs. First, I typed in the search bar the title of the film I was in search of, titled The Man From Nowhere. Even without narrowing the search to “Movies” the first on the list was the DVD I was looking for. The website even goes as far as to recommend other products that may interest the buyer, further provoking the consumer demand.

Shopping online can be a fun and interesting process. A website such as Amazon contains hundreds of thousands of items consumers can buy. The site provides a detailed description of the contents and even has sophisticated package tracking systems. Since sites like Amazon have so many products, the creators thought of a sophisticated way to find the exact product, or model you are looking for by copying and pasting the barcode in the search engine. The search engine I found was easy to navigate, with many advanced search options that make it easier to find your product faster.

Creators of websites such as Amazon are even smart enough to write a program that recommends similar products to online consumers, increasing sales and time spent on the website. When adding the item to the cart, you are offered different options such as, add to wish list, or add to cart with free two day shipping, and other such offers that persuade a sale. Online shopping is becoming so sophisticated, yet so easy, that in years to come, strip malls will be a thing of the past.
