Several years back, buying of goods is usually one at designated places called markets where sellers and buyers converge to trade goods and services for money. With the civilization, these markets evolved to include supermarkets, stores, and malls etc. which offer a much wider range of goods for customers and this has extended globally through the invention of the internet that provides opportunities for shopping stores to be created online which in turn has led to massive increase in sales and ease of shopping for customers. While the online stores are booming and recording increase in sales worth billions of dollars, the foundation stores that generated the online ones are dwindling and suffering from lack of foot traffic to their stores which leads to massive decline in sales because there are no tangible incentives to motivate the customers to keep coming especially with ease of purchase offered by online stores.
To increase sales in offline stores, digitalization of the offline stores were proposed and in some cases utilized but it turned out to be cost ineffective resulting in loss rather than gain for the stores as more money was needed in advertisement and in getting the right technical know-how for the process.
