In recent years, many small local shops have closed because customers travel
to large shopping centers or malls to do their shopping.
Is this a positive or a negative development?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your
own knowledge or experience.
Recent years have witnessed a falling/ decreasing number of small local shops
due to the fact that clients/ consumers usually choose to go malls for their
shopping. This essay will firstly, discuss the diversity of products as one of the
main advantages of this and secondly, outline inconvenience when going a long
distance to buy something as one of the main disadvantages.
To begin with, the reasons for the increasing popularity of shopping centers among
consumers are various. Initially, there is a wide range of products which have the
adequate quality to meet the diverse needs of clients, ranging from hygienic foods
to cutting-edge gadgets. Furthermore, the customer service there is always better
than local shops. It is practically proven that almost issues which clients have
encountered when buying items in shopping centers would be resolved
immediately. My wife, for example, bought a new dress but she found that there
was a minor defect on it when it was delivered at home.
The shop manager
promptly changed another one for my wife when receiving a complaint from her.
However, some disadvantages of making transactions in a big shopping mall are
undeniable. Firstly, customers can find it inconvenient to purchase stuff for their
family. To be more specific, it would be an extreme waste of time for buyers to
purchase products at the shopping mall because of the long distance from their
house, especially in the cases they just want to buy an item. More importantly,
competitive factors which come from the local shops are becoming no longer
popular. It would eventually end up raising the price of products and services in
the future.
In conclusion, people should take both the benefits and drawbacks of shopping
malls into consideration before making a decision. This is because human beings
will always want to have a sense of self-fulfillment.
