The digitization of retail to the internet is showing no signs of slowing. With every major retailer, and many smaller ones all leading the way with online shopping as a core, if not more important part of their business, online shopping is here to stay.
In fact, it is very quickly becoming the leader in sales online and companies that have not kept up with customer demand and advances in technology are suffering the consequences.
So with the online market so well developed what is next for the online shopper? The answer is simple, and follows the similar progression of physical shops many many years ago - the shopping centre. A one stop shop for all a shopper needs, in one handy location. And with retailers like

A one stop shop is all online shoppers need
Online shoppers are time poor. They do not have time, or the inclination, to head to the nearest town centre and go from shop to shop to look for what they need. Chances are that they will find far less choice on the high street than from the comfort of their own home with a laptop. And of course it is far easier to research the best prices online. On the highstreet how can you tell you are getting the best value.
So it was online a matter of time before enterprising online retails took the next step in their online service, and started looking a new online platforms that are quicker still. And of course the shoppers love it.
Just look at the success of retailer giants like Amazon marketplace. Millions of shoppers and billions of transactions each year. But of course the issue with a user lead marketplace like that is it can be difficult to find your favourite brands among the millions of products, convenient it may be, but not so if you can't locate what you want to purchase.
With the online shopping centre style platform, it allows users to quickly and easily search for real brands, across any sector. From fashion to homewear, electronics to pet supplies you have all the choice you good need, with a easy to use user interface, and single, streamlined payment system.
Easy access to Outlet discounts
Of course one of the great benefits of an online shopping centre, is the ability to also have an outlet store offering amazing discounts, but still with the choice across multiple ranges and sectors. It certainly saves a trip to the nearest outlet centre, which often is not all that near!
Yet, you do not have to suffer the chaos that often comes with traditional outlet stores, the limited lines, the difficult finding the product styles and sizes you need and the general feeling of a disorganised jumble sale.
Shopping centres are such a success in the non-digital world, it stands to reason they would also be a success online. With such scale and choice of product, it allows the retailer to offer better discounts on the products. All delivered directly your door.
All the best brands, instantly available, all the time
It goes without saying that online shopping centres are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It certainly caters for all shoppers needs and requirements in that respect. The choice of brands is also impressive.
The king of retail shopping is of course fashion, and where else can you buy Calvin Klein next to a dining table for your home but an online shopping centre. The benefits of a single portal for all your needs is easily recognisable, it saves time and effort and gives better value for money and choice. Imagine the largest department store in the world, with products easy to find, guaranteed quality and easy delivery.
It would be a wonder, if shopper ever choose to shop on the high street ever again.
