We sell our products only in our store, but you can order our products on our website.
Do you feel threatened by the increasing popularity of online
shopping? No, we don't feel threatened by the increasing popularity of online shopping, because our shop is a nature shop and people would rather buy flowers and plants at a local shop than at an online store.
Did the rising popularity of online shopping impact your
business? No
When did you start your business?
Our business started when the shopping mall opened, which was about 5 years ago.
Do you offer more products online or in your local shop?
We have the same amount of products in our webshop as in our store
Where do your products sell out faster online or at your local
shop? We sell our products in our store and not online, so it's faster at our shop than online.
What is your opinion on online shopping?
It is very easy for people that don't want to or can't go outside, but it is quite a threat to the small businesses. But I personally don't really shop online, I would rather buy my products at a local shop.
What is your opinion on shopping at a local shop?
I personally like to shop at local shops, because you have more contact with the people there and you can get help, with online shops you can’t.
Where do you have more customers?
Are you planning to expand your list of products that you have? If it is possible, I absolutely would. More products means more customers happy
Do you want to expand your business, online/offline
Yeah, I would like to, it's always great to expand your business
