Answer 1:
I believe people like going to shopping malls because of its convenience. A shopping mall typically carries many brands and a large variety of products. The environment is also comfortable, and generally has entertainment for all ages.
Answer 2:
It is sometimes better to shop at local shops because they often sell unique products or locally produced products. In addition, shopping locally helps small businesses to thrive and to create jobs in the community.
Answer 3:
I think people are mainly influenced about the price, brand, and quality of the product they buy. Everyone likes a good deal and appreciates products that are of high value for money. In this regard, advertising can be a powerful tool.
Answer 4:
Given a choice, I would say paying by card is better. For one, most credit cards allow you to accumulate points based on how much you spend. It is also easier to track your spending when paying by credit card.
Answer 5:
I tend to agree. Many items that we need today can be purchased online for cheaper. There is also the added advantage of searching and comparing a large assortment of products online, which is just not possible in physical stores.
