A few weeks ago, I attended an exhibition that brought together online retailers to showcase their merchandise to shoppers in an offline environment. I thought that Malaysians are ready for eCommerce and open to more shopping opportunities in the world wide web but I am not totally correct.
From the number of people that attended this exhibition, I can say that Malaysians still prefer to shop online, possibly because of the chance to have a look at something in its real form, to hold and touch it and even to try it on, before making a purchase.
For some products, I am like that too, especially for clothes and shoes. And I find that recently, while shopping for bags, I prefer to shop offline as opposed to online too. That's because I want a bag that could fit some specific items and even with measurements stated on a website, I couldn't "visualize" how well my items would fit in.
Having said this, I feel that there are still plenty of opportunities to make people more receptive towards eCommerce in the country.
