The aim of the study is to assess the attitude towards online shopping of the Urban. In this study, we have focused on only the attitude of youths towards online shopping as there were limited past studies on the youth segment. The study was conducted on the age bracket 18-35 who are generally the primary and secondary target market of the online shops. An organized and adaptive survey was conducted on 119 respondents, where convenience sampling was used. The study reveals most of the people visit online sites couple of times a week. Most of the people want to buy products up to BDT 4,000 but are willing to buy products up to BDT 5000 for branded products. So, there is a huge potential for branded products. There are more mobile banking users than bank card holders. Therefore, mobile banking can add new doors for online shopping. Most popular online products are clothing, food & beverage, mobile accessories, electronic goods and beauty products. The major distress appears to be that products delivered do not match product shown in the online shop and product’s quality. People would prefer to physically examine the products before buying it online. The study also reveals previous online buying experience and online reviews have a high influence on online buying behavior. From the study we found people think online shopping is trustworthy. Though people find online shopping convenient and think price is cheaper online but there are room for improvement.

However, with the increasing need for convenience, superior quality digital catalogs, increasing internet density, attractive offers, and interactive features of websites, the mindset of the people is changing, and they are ready to experiment.

Purpose Online shopping has become a commonplace thing nowadays as people can buy products from the comfort of their home. But such environments do not offer a complete sensory interaction as consumers are unable to touch products which is quite important for certain categories of products such as apparels. Therefore, in order to find whether every individual seeks touch equally, the purpose of this paper is to deal with the differences in an individual’s preferences for touch. The study also evaluates customer responses towards the introduction of touch-enabling technology which can, to some extent, compensate for the lack of touch. Lastly, the study includes customers’ views regarding showrooming and webrooming. Design/methodology/approach A total of 203 responses were received through online and offline questionnaires. The data were analysed using ANOVA, correlation and regression analysis through SPSS version 23. Findings The results revealed that gender influenced the Need for Touch (NFT) with women having higher NFT. The people who were high in NFT preferred to buy in-store, whereas their low NFT counterparts were comfortable with both online and in-store options. Lastly, it was found that there was a significant impact of NFT on online buying behaviour. The new technology when used by online retailers would break the barriers that exist between real touch and virtual touch. Originality/value Although previous authors have given several options like mental representations, verbal details and brand image as alternatives to touch but the use of touch-enabling technology can revolutionise the way online products are perceived. The study adds value by relating NFT with online preferences, showrooming and webrooming.
