Read the following passage about the consequences of impulse buying and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 1 to 10.
Online shopping has exploded in popularity, with e-commerce sales reaching nearly $5 trillion worldwide in 2021. This growth is largely due to the convenience and variety that online platforms offer. Shoppers can browse millions of items from home, and with services like Amazon Prime, products can arrive in just one or two days. However, while online shopping offers numerous advantages, it has also led to increased impulse buying behaviours among consumers.
[I] Impulse buying, or buying things without planning or need, is more common online than in physical stores. [II] A study by Klama found that 71% of online shoppers admitted to making impulse purchases. [III] For example, on popular shopping days like Amazon Prime Day, people may feel pressured to buy items they haven't considered before, simply because they're marked as “exclusive” or “limited-time offers.” [IV] Such deals create a sense of urgency, making consumers feel they might miss out if they don't act fast, which can lead to spending regret later.
This impulse buying can have serious financial consequences, especially among younger people. According to a survey by Finder, Americans spend around 2,000 each year. For younger consumers, especially teenagers and young adults, the effects can be more significant. Many use credit cards or “buy now, pay later” services, such as Afterpay or Klarna, which can make spending feel easier but may lead to debt. A 2022 survey revealed that 43% of millennials and Gen Z consumers reported regret over impulse purchases made with "buy now, pay later” options, as they faced challenges with repayments.
Experts suggest several ways to avoid impulsive spending, like setting a budget, removing items from the cart and waiting a day before buying, and unsubscribing from marketing emails. By taking a moment to think before clicking “buy now,” consumers can make more informed decisions and avoid accumulating items they don’t need or facing financial issues. Online shopping has revolutionised the way we buy, but it's essential for people to shop responsibly to avoid the pitfalls of impulse purchases.
