Do you think in a few years, shops will be replaced by the internet, and there will be no more shops?

Shops and e-commerce do have conflicts. With the popularization of Internet technology, people will shop online more and more. Because of operating e-commerce, there is no store rent and no salesman cost, and the cost is much lower than that of stores. On the Internet, people can find their own satisfactory products through search, which saves people a lot of time. Under the premise of guaranteed quality, people will naturally choose e-commerce. With the gradual disappearance of the older generation who don't know or can't shop online, online shopping will become more popular.

Will shops be replaced by the internet? Service shops such as barbershops, restaurants and daily necessities supermarkets will not be replaced by the Internet, and some goods that can be sold online, such as building materials, furniture, clothing, shoes and hats, will be more and more seriously affected. After a few years, only some shops that are not suitable for express delivery may be reserved, such as cement, putty powder, paint, tobacco and alcohol.

Therefore, no matter how e-commerce evolves and how crazy it is, it can't replace physical stores. Because of a few points:

1, consumption habits

There are still many people who like the sight of shopping, the feeling of touching the real thing, the satisfaction of paying by credit card and so on. These pleasures cannot be satisfied by online shopping. I also often buy some daily necessities online and do impulsive shopping in the entity. I can totally feel two different shopping experiences.

2. Future development of e-commerce and entities.

Entities need to expand channels and business volume, and will go to online merchants; And if online merchants want to be bigger and stronger, to be brands and assets, they must expand offline. The combination of the two is the way to development.

Netizens who are familiar with me know that I sell maternal and child/toiletries/small household appliances online, and also open maternal and child pregnancy products offline; There are paid self-media e-commerce content online, and there are also training institutions offline. This is the only way to develop to a certain stage: scale!

3. Online and offline specific industries are irreplaceable.

Whether online or offline, there are some industries that are irreplaceable, but can be integrated with each other. For example, offline dry cleaners and barbershops can only explore online to offline online. For another example, superstitious businesses such as offline fortune telling are booming on the Internet.

This is the particularity of the progress of the times. As a multi-field entrepreneur, I deeply appreciate the convenience of online and offline integration. Such as Meituan, Hungry, Movie Ticket Network and so on.

The Internet does bring people a lot of convenience, but some physical stores are irreplaceable by the Internet. For example, now we know that many people sell daily necessities and snacks online, so supermarkets also sell these things, but we will still see many convenience stores in the streets, especially those chain convenience stores, which are opening more and more. Why? That's because people often have immediate purchase needs.

Moreover, nowadays people bring their mobile phones home every day. There may be three people in a family, each with a mobile phone and playing their own games. Over time, the feelings between us will become more and more indifferent.

Nowadays, a lot of shopping is done through mobile phones, and this relationship between people has increasingly become a network relationship. But I believe that one day, people will feel more and more lonely. And nothing can escape this rule.

Finally, when people feel lonely, the demand for emotion will become stronger and stronger. The easiest way to get this kind of emotional security is your family and friends around you, and the way to rebuild this friendly relationship is for everyone to meet frequently and communicate more. At this time, shopping, drinking milk tea and eating dessert will become a new fashion and trend. Physical stores will once again be brilliant.

Of course, this is only based on my personal knowledge. Welcome to clap bricks.
