These days, we shop online for just about everything. This includes boutique girls clothing, diapers, formulay, gifts and anything else we might need or wont. But until now we haven’t given much thought about the reasons why we enjoy the online shopping experience. Sure there are the obvious reasons of not having to get dressed, packing into the car and dedicating the few hours needed to search through your baby’s favorite stores. Now, if you are with your child trying to accomplish the above-mentioned, you may need to call ahead to have your hubby ready a hot bath with a glass (or bottle) of wine. And if your hubby was nice enough to take the kids off your hands for a few hours so you could go shopping; wouldn’t you want to take that time and shop for yourself instead? Sure you would! So here are some reasons why shopping for baby clothes online is such a great idea:
- Stay at home – Don’t battle the parking gods or wait in line for something. Simply relax and let your mouse do the walking. There are hundreds of websites that sell clothes and baby accessories. Each one is only a click away. They are never closed nor are they ever rude. And if you have any questions, shoot them an email or call and have all your questions answered right there and then!
- Browse the largest and best selections – How many stores would one have to visit in order to look through enough baby outfits, sweaters, blankets, socks, hats, bottoms, sleep sacs and more in order to get that perfect catch? And how long would it take? Online, you get access to hundreds of retailers. That’s like visiting a mall dedicated to all of your baby and toddler clothing needs!
- Get the best prices – This one is our favorite. So you stayed home and found something you like – great! Most websites offer free shipping so you have an opportunity to save a few bucks there. Often there is a special 1st-time customer discount. There are even sites out there who have returning customer discounts. Then there is that magical promo code field. Most people overlook this feature. However, if you have a few minutes to do a quick search, you could save additional dough. All you need to do is search for the site name and the words “promo code” or “discount coupon” right behind it. Before you know it you are patting yourself on the back and marveling at the huge chunk of change you just saved! Oh, we almost forgot to mention that you don’t have to pay sales tax if purchasing from out-of-state. And if you are wondering, yes, we are always running cool promotions.
- Freedom to change your mind – So, the handsome UPS man arrives at your door and drops off a small box. “Yayyyyy!” you scream only to find that the size of the cutest baby clothes you picked doesn’t fit your rug rat. The solution here is simple – contact the company and request to exchange your purchase. They will often times do the exchange for free or at a very nominal fee. There is a word of caution here: you should be familiar with the clothing boutique’s return policy before placing your order. This seems like a lot to worry about at first; but once you find the boutiques that cater to your tastes (and have a favorable return policy), your shopping needs should be met for a long time to come.
