Key features of buying women's t-shirts online


Summary: Online shopping for T-shirts can be fun and interesting, with very little hassle. Think any occasion, or order for yourself or someone else.  Read on to see if it is right for you.


The first thing that comes to mind when one considers online shopping is the sheer comfort. You can look at several hundred options as you lounge and you don’t even have to decide fast. Think of making a purchase online, and the immediate thoughts you have are how:
1.      You don’t have to get out of your pajamas and slippers, drive around in traffic, and interact with the outside world
2.      You can check for the funkiest, most outré options through ‘search’ filters, and you know nothing is off limits – if one retailer doesn’t have a scooped-neck garment, another one will
3.      You shop on your phone, tablet or personal computer, and have your searches ‘saved for later’. The savvier you are with online shopping, the more you get to explore
4.      It’s all about convenience – you can look through online stores while you wait in line at a doctor’s appointment, on a train ride or practically anywhere
5.      You can grab great deals. Buyers get all the advantages like loyalty points, notifications about flash sales, coupons and juicy deals on shipping charges
6.      E-commerce sites have easy return policies that let you buy merchandise that you are truly happy with (without the hassle of travelling all the way back to a store)
All the points above are true for buying T-shirts online, but there are some specific advantages of getting T-shirts online that make this a truly feasible and fun way of shopping.
Features to keep in mind specifically when buying T-shirts online:
Use the style guide/size chart to full advantage: the page will surely have a picture of a model wearing the T-shirt, and if you look closely enough, the e-retailer will mention the size worn by the model. This will help you visualize how it will look on you. A size XS T-shirt will look very different from a size L.
Think categories: Since online shopping is all about getting what you want no matter how obscure, be bold about looking for Oversize stuff that you can sleep in, V-necks that make you look chic and feminine, or experiment with fabric, cut and sleeve length.
Filter to your advantage: Add oomph to your style factor by picking T-shirts with graphic prints, aphorisms, positive/inspirational quotes, or something whacky. It is much, much easier to find such off-beat T-shirts online than in-store. Use filter tools provided by the e-commerce site to find a T-shirt in your price range, standalone pieces or sets, and fit yourself up in style.
Any site worth its salt will offer you a huge range of products in different price brackets to choose from. The extra mile is when it lets you design your own T-shirt, or add a personal touch to it. The option to customize it with your own design or message takes personalization to a whole other level.
Spend enough time on the site, get comfortable with the interface and explore all the options available. Maybe make a trial purchase and test out the process. In the end, you might be so hooked to shopping online for T-shirts that you will never walk into a store again!

buying something - a perspective from an NRI's marketer

Indians are lovers of beauty and utility. To them, a high-involvement purchase decision is not only one that uses logic but channels emotion as well. A good purchase is one that continues to give joy while delivering functionality for the consideration put in. Conditioning of several generations, mainly governed by household economy, has been drilled into the Indian consumer. To claim a share of the taxpayer’s wallet, the value provided by a product is paramount. Indians famously seek to ‘repair and reuse’ as opposed to ‘use and throw’. The Indian diaspora largely remains true to this idea while mulling over a purchase. They seek to gain lasting value. The fillip of value lies in an item reminiscent of the motherland – one that smacks of the flavours, tastes, and the colourful heritage that India signifies. Uniquely Indian items – and they are many – have historical, religious, or nostalgic significance for non-resident Indians. Linking a product’s features and benefits to

Reacting to wellness stimulus

Meditating has been a roadblock in my path to well-being. Or at least that’s what I think but I met some useful advice today: meditation is not about keeping the mind from wandering, but letting it finish its wanderings and come back to the present, awareness of the physical state – breath most importantly, so much so, that it burns itself out of aimless buzz, for a time at least. This is why they say meditate for at least 20 minutes, at least once a day. Doing this lets the mind run out of steam for the time as far as distractions are concerned. Once the clump of noisy thoughts is dealt with, what remains is, surprise surprise, a clear mind to deploy at the tasks of the day. And goodness knows we have distractions. These distractions are closely linked to our insecurities. Is it Facebook notifications that I can’t keep from checking out – why am I so concerned with what people might be saying of me? Long term goal: learn to offer a wide berth to others’ opinions of me. Is

Sales people get annoying as does sales talk - here's how to steer clear of verbal pitfalls

My scenario: Seller: software maker (on-rolls sales agent making the pitch) Buyer: a digital marketing company looking to buy software to collect feedback from its employees on HR policy, workplace conditions, etc. Annoying things a salesperson says When needs match with offerings, sales happen with vim and vigor. An astute salesperson analyses prospects well before making them an offer. He/she thinks of the needs of the customer from the big-picture point of view and recommends products that meet them to the fullest extent. Finding out these needs and framing them to suit a product’s utility calls for a fluid visualisation ability and tact. A sales agent needs to discuss the expectations of the customer as part of ‘needs analysis’. In the interaction with a prospect, the best impression a salesperson can give off is one of honesty and knowledgeability. At every stage, a seller has to be an active listener and a quick thinker. They have to ask all the right questions
