The booming smartphone market provides functions that make life more convenient. In recent years, due to the impact of the epidemic, consumers have turned to online shopping to get what they need. The emergence of "virtual stores" has also brought consumers a new The shopping experience meets the needs of consumers who cannot shop in physical stores in person.

"Virtual store" is one of the consumption patterns of online stores. The most distinctive feature is the use of flat virtual stores to attract consumers, which not only saves the cost space of stores, but also combines logistics and cash flow directly through smart phones. To make a purchase, you can also send the goods directly to your home. Consumers don’t have to carry large or small bags, they just need to move their fingers to complete.


Waiting for the bus, shopping once satisfied


Taking Taiwan as an example, the MRT Taipei Station launched the "Creative Mall Shopping Wall" , which turned into a virtual shopping scene! The dazzling variety of pictures is very wide, and there are all kinds of small things with MRT elements, such as leisure cards, business card holders, accompanying cups, or co-branded masks necessary during the epidemic prevention period. You can complete the order by paying by online credit card or other methods, whether it is for personal use or as a gift.

It took about 2 days from placing the order to picking up the goods. I ordered the Taipei MRT – Portable Water Cup. The appearance is a hand-painted illustration showing the Taipei MRT route map, and the phonetic symbols are used to mark the names of each MRT station . Fusion into a childlike fashion flavor, bring your own environmentally friendly cups to replace plastic beverage cups, environmental protection starts from daily life!

Sharing of foreign application cases


Korea

The Home Plus virtual store, the second largest supermarket chain in  Korea, displays pictures of products of the same size at 1:1, and pastes them in subway stations where people come and go. As long as you place an order before 1:00 p.m., you can receive the products at home on the same day. You don't have to pack a lot of bags, you can easily get your daily shopping!




U.S.

Peapod, a well-known online supermarket in the United States, has launched mobile shopping at the Chicago subway station. Photos of supermarket shelves are posted on the walls on both sides of the underpass. Consumers only need to scan the barcode of the product, enter the mobile phone number, and select the designated arrival time to complete the shopping easily. .




Experience


The emergence of virtual stores has made the original time of waiting for the bus not boring. We can use this time to buy daily necessities on our mobile phones. If I don’t have time to shop at the physical store, I will place an order directly from the website and deliver it to my home. I think very convenient.

I think the starting point of the virtual store is very good, but it takes some time to get used to it, because most people usually go to the physical store to spend most of the time, they are used to the service of the store clerk, and they can actually see the product. Since the store cannot see the real entity, it can only decide whether to buy or not through the picture. It is indeed a bit of an adventure. It is necessary to further think about how to provide consumers with a personalized experience and complete product information, so as to make "visiting a virtual store" a Fun interactive experience.
