Happy Dhanteras 2018: Shopping to Get Rid of Huge Rush

Nov 05: Dhanteras, also known as “Dhantrayodashi” or “Dhanwantari Triodasi” is one of the most celebrated festivals among the Hindu community. It falls on the 13th lunar day of the Krishan Paksha in the Ashwin month according to the Hindu calender. The owl form of goddess Lakshmi is worshipped on this day, which begins the five day Diwali festival, in order to seek blessings for a prosperous future. Besides the obvious cultural significance, Dhanteras is also a time to gift one’s friends and family members something to wish them good luck and basically show their love and affection. However, when one goes out for shopping, the scenario is a very dramatic one.

Thanks to the exponential demand for all kinds of products, irrespective of whether one goes to a shopping mall or a local shop, there is always a mismatch of supply and demand, much to the disappointment of the quintessential shopper, who wants nothing but the best to gift. Online shopping, in this regard, is a blessing for everyone, since the internet, as we all know, is a freeway with unlimited capacity. The main reason why the internet is gradually becoming a popular alternative to conventional shopping is the convenience factor.

Sitting right at home or office, one can order for anything under the sun, and the same would be delivered to the doorstep. This is not only convenient for those who don’t have the time to go to different outlets for locating the right product to gift, but even for those, who have the time, but want to save themselves the time and effort wasted for something that can also be done in an easier manner.

The next benefit of online shopping is quality assurance. Everybody knows how difficult it is to find a good quality product. This might not be the case when one is looking at known brands, but in case of unknown ones, or for that matter brands being sold be a local vendor, there is always an apprehension regarding if the money invested would be worth it. In case of reputed shopping portals like TimTara.com, this issue is well taken care of.

Another benefit of shopping online is that unlike regular shopping, where one has to visit different shops to check all the available options, in the web world, everything is just one click away. Most of the times, it so happens that one is always unsure of whether to buy a particular product, or do a little more research before taking the final call. With online websites like TimTara.com however, instant comparisons can be made to arrive at an informed decision.

And lastly, online shopping results in much lower rates, and consequently, much higher savings, than regular shopping. One can easily find up to 60% price difference in products being sold at a store and on the internet, the reason being that the latter directly sources these products directly from the manufacturer, resulting in a better rate quote than than stores that keep a hefty margin for themselves.
