We are now familiar with online marketing websites like flipcart.com, ebay.com, amezon.com etc.These websites provide all information about the products like photographs, specifications, price and give reviews by customers. As there is multilevel classification and advanced search options, finding a product, comparing offers by different suppliers and purchasing the product by credit card has made the marketing very easy, accessible from home or anywhere, anytime with smart phones.Some websites store information about your liking in the form of cookies or on the server and give you alerts about new products that have arrived in the market which suit your preferences.There is also money back guarantee in case you do not like the product.
As a result, online shopping has increased in recent days. Still these websites do not give us the real life experience of marketing in the shop and hence people continue to visit the local shops and do marketing.
Now web technology has developed new tools based on Flash/Flex or HTML 5 animation and simulation systems to give you experience of actually visiting the shop with all look and feel of the building architecture, interior decoration, flooring, lighting, stacking and display of goods as seen in the actual shop. You can walk through the shop, move in any direction, see the goods on shelves, select them, pick any item, turn it and see all sides, read the description as we do physical inspection of item by taking it in our hand nad the deciding about the purchase. Thus 3 dimensional virtual shopping mall becomes accessible on laptop or mobile and we can get real feel of visiting actual shop and doing purchase by staying at home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You can browse your favourite stores, chat to your friends, change your appearance. All the things you would normally do in real mall is just as easy in here.The Shopping Mall, business shops, shop owners and customers are all virtual interactive and in 3D.
