Do you think that the online business would someday replace the offline business?

[Xtynehappy]

Most people are nowadays reverting to the online businesses. The speed of the transition is so high that l am afraid the whole world would turn digital with regards to business matters some days.

In a compact city like Hong Kong where I live, I think online business will not totally replace offline business. Here, it is convenient to go to a shopping mall with various stores which sell product to meet your needs. While online stores are getting popular, some people still prefer to buy at physical stores to get a feel of the products they buy.

In my region, the traditional offline businesses are still in a very high demand. I think it will take a very long time for the world to fully adopt the online businesses for that reason.

It will not happen hehe. Not all people can adopt a new practice. People also like to see the real thing. With the issues on scams online and wrong orders, it's most likely that online businesses turned disastrous.

I highly doubt the online business would be able to completely take over the offline business. There are lots of people who still rely on offline businesses.

it might to a large extend but taking over completely is what I doubt. Some people prefer to buy offline

 

[Miley]

No I think so because the only online business that can market more offline is food business and rearly of animals.

 

[Nomad]

No. You might sell something online but there needs to be an offline business to ship your product. Offline business will not be wiped out.

Some people, especially from poorer communities will always prefer to purchase offline, since it is difficult to get customer support for online purchases.

I do not think that online business will replace offline business, as many people still prefer to shop at brick-and-mortar stores. They value the experience of seeing the product in person.

In my country online activity isn't popular at all. People prefer to go to the shops. They believe in seeing and touching the products they desire to buy to ensure thier quality. I doubt online business would replace offline business.

It is very impossible . Offline businesses are better than online businesses' both physically and realistically. Not all people adhere to online business. They mostly prefer to purchase physically to see the feal picture of the products.

In my opinion, online business is impossible to replace offline business completely, until now offline business still dominates with higher sales level, many people still trust offline business more than online business.

I agree with you on that, it is impossible for an offline business to be outsmarted by the online business. People especially the housewives, prefer to buy offline. They are very careful in buying especially milk for the kids and the things the husband likes. Online products once delivered to home are not perfect. They are mostly delivered wrong.

I believe that online business would replace offline businesses. But it would take a very long time for that to happen.

I don't think this will be possible irrespective of what people will still do their business online and offline
