ONLINE SHOPPING: A RESEARCH ON HOW CONVENIENT IT IS THE STUDENTS OF
ACT-BULACAO

INTRODUCTION

Online Shopping now represent a significant proportion of businesses in many countries. For
example, in the Philippines, home based businesses represent between 50-60% of all businesses.
Such businesses are increasingly making significant use of the internet, either to extend the reach
of a more traditional form of business, or in order to develop purely online businesses. Online
buying and selling has become an important part of many people's lives. Students and parents rely
on the internet to acquire and sell textbooks at affordable prices, virtual stores allow people to
shop from the comfort of their homes without the pressure of a salesperson, and online
marketplaces provide a new and more convenient venue for the exchange of virtually all types of
goods and services. Both businesses and customers have embraced online sales as a cheaper and
more convenient way to shop, but just like anything associated with the Internet, there are
benefits and dangers associated with shopping online. Shopping online is just like heading out to
the store. The buyer can buy all the same things from their home computer and can sometimes
even get access to better sales.

Learning the convenience of online shopping to the students would help other consumers to let
them know that there are several advantages with online buying. Because it saves a lot of time
especially those who are always busy.

In finding a product the students have to start by searching for a product. This can be done by
visiting a store's website or, if the student is not aware of any store that has the particular item
that they’re looking for or like to compare prices between stores, they can always search for the
items with a search engine and compare the results. No more risk as you only need an Internet
connection to go on with your business, plus the fact that online shopping is now a fad among
buyers and sellers, especially for millions of Filipinos who have access to the Internet. Young
entrepreneurs have found online business as the most effective method to start a business as this
does not require one to invest so much money to spend for their operation, such as space rental,
human resources and other maintenance expenses.

Goals and Objective

The main objective of the study is to learn the convenience of online shopping to the students and
how it helps them consume time and waste effort in looking for things that they want to buy. To
achieve the general objective, the following specific objectives guided the study; i) To determine
the advantages and disadvantages of online buying ii) To learn how to prevent bogus sellers iii) To
establish the effect of online buying to the students
