Whois & Analysis for smartsource.com

A grocery store is a retail store that primarily sells food.

A grocer is a bulk seller of food.

Grocery stores often offer non-perishable food that is packaged in cans, bottles and boxes, with some also having fresh produce, butchers, delis, and bakeries.

Large grocery stores that stock significant amounts of non-food products, such as clothing and household items, are called supermarkets.

Some large supermarkets also include a pharmacy, and customer service, redemption and electronics sections.

Online shopping is a form of electronic commerce which allows consumers to directly buy goods or services from a seller over the Internet using a web browser.

Consumers find a product of interest by visiting the website of the retailer directly or by searching among alternative vendors using a shopping search engine, which displays the same product's availability and pricing at different e-retailers.

As of 2016, customers can shop online using a range of different computers and devices, including desktop computers, laptops, tablet computers and smartphones.

In marketing, a coupon is a ticket or document that can be redeemed for a financial discount or rebate when purchasing a product.

Discounts and allowances are reductions to a basic price of goods or services.

They can occur anywhere in the distribution channel, modifying either the manufacturer's list price (determined by the manufacturer and often printed on the package), the retail price (set by the retailer and often attached to the product with a sticker), or the list price (which is quoted to a potential buyer, usually in written form).
