Online, Brick & Mortar, or Both?

Has the pressure gotten to you yet? With only 3 days left before Christmas morning, it better have. We’re in the last stretch, which means the malls are packed like sardine cans until close, the shelves are empty anyway, and it’s too late to order from Amazon. You might argue that squeezing through a sea of bodies is a staple of the holiday shopping season, and more power to those who manage to survive the ordeal.

My personal solution is to take the best of both online and brick & mortar shopping and mash them together. Yeah, yeah, I work for UsedEverywhere.com, so obviously I’m going to plug the site in a biased blog post on their corporate site. Not so, holiday shopper. My time here is almost up, so what do I have to gain by pushing product? Reason this one through with me and I think you’ll agree that it can be a life saver for last minute shopping.

Benefit #1: We get a surge of items posted to the site during the holidays, so there’s a cornucopia of stuff to browse through in the comfort of your living room.

Benefit #2: You don’t have to wait for your purchase to come in the mail or worry about it arriving in time, you just fire off an email and drive a couple of blocks to pick up the gift. No sardine can, no worries. Let me know if you agree or disagree with my logic in the comments section below, and check out a few last minute gift ideas on the way down there (click on the picture to see the ad itself).
