Project Summary

This project aims to comprehend the attitude and behavior of consumers of Quetta towards online grocery shopping. Factors identified (quality of product, service quality, guarantee on products, convenience or consumers, cost of services and products, range of products and varieties, perceived risk, social norms, and design or interface of the online platform/website) in this thesis study can influence customers to switch to online grocery shopping and adopt online shopping as their prime mode of purchase. High perceived risk was observed to be the most important and significant factor in the case of online grocery shopping as compared to all other factors. Consumers who are less familiar with technological devices find it difficult to trust today’s technology; these include, domestic housewives. Whereas the young generation is relatively excited about the emerging medium. Snowball sampling techniques were used to collect the data using questionnaires. The results show that lack of variety and overpriced products also appeared to be the major factor when choosing online grocery as the prime source of shopping.

Benefits of the Project

Before looking into the various companies trying to sell us their services, we should look at the advantages and disadvantages of shopping online and the things we should look out for when choosing what website to purchase groceries from.

It saves time

Shopping online alleviates the need to walk up and down store aisles. And you can log in any time even at 2: am and still have the advantage of a fully stocked store. Plus, going the delivery route saves you a trip to the store, which saves consumers precious time,

Find Everything You Need

Search engines on websites make it much easier to find items quickly; typing in the name or brand of a product will show you all relevant products making it much easier to find exactly what you need.
