Game your way into online shopping
If you are a gaming freak, and you spend most of your time searching for new games on the internet (and this does not count for the “Street Fighter,” “Mafia Online,” or “Age of Empires” wizards), then you must have across shopping games. It is an imitation of an ideal shopping errand, right from making that shopping list to checking into a shopping complex, searching for the goods that need to be bought, paying with your credit card/debit card, and accomplishing that shopping excursion successfully.
These shopping games, which have been created with a view to project the concept of online shopping into a more animated format, is gaining popularity amongst many teens. Early teens, dependent on their parents, get to feel what it is to have their own money, pay for their own shopping bills, and relish in the luxury of a financially independent state of mind, with these games. As we see, the concept of online shopping games has targeted the psychology of early teens quite effectively.
The typical setup of these shopping games is a virtual store where you get to buy products from a range of items. Depending on the type of game that you are playing – which also can range from Christmas shopping , grocery shopping, or shopping for your pets – you have a variety of labels and brands to choose from. Some shopping stores also let you build and manage your own online store. You get to pick and choose the products that you need to have in your store. The game player can personalize goods according to desired specifics, or manage the sales, or handle the cash register, all at the same time.
Girls can make it all the more real by designing clothes and accessories for the game, and hanging them outside their online shops to attract more customers. They can dress their characters (in the game) according to what they would like their characters to be wearing.
Since most of the games can be accessed online, these games also provide an option of competing with other people, where you can have a race for finishing the shopping errand, or use your creativity in dressing up your characters more fashionably than the other contenders. Some of these games are also available as jigsaw puzzles.
Online shopping is being used as a medium in many forms, including games and cartoons. Attracting people of all ages, it is emerging as the next big revenue generating internet scheme.
