Home Shopping: finding great deals without leaving your house!
Decades ago, people had very few options when it came to home shopping.
First, home shopping had the traveling salesman, toting his handy-dandy vacuum cleaner and food processor.
When Sears developed their catalogues, people of the era were delighted by the ease, convenience, and great selection
of products available for purchase from their home.
We are now blessed with a multitude of avenues for home shopping.
With the explosion in home shopping catalogues, we are able to subscribe to the ones that are most
specialised for our needs, ranging from electronics to gourmet foods.
As people have grown busier over the decades with longer work hours, less time is left to enjoy
thick catalogues of product offerings. The old traveling salesman is long extinct;
he is been replaced by more modern methods of direct sales in home shopping.
Despite all of these changes, people have not lost their love and appreciation for the convenience of home shopping.
However, the means by which conduct home shopping has drastically changed.
We can now shop on television, buy from a telemarketer, peruse on the internet, and enjoy the
time-honored mail-order catalogues that are specialised to our needs.

Home Shopping TV
Do you remember when home shopping on television became the rage in the early 1990s? Due to the great demand and popularity, the Home Shopping Club became the Home Shopping Channel, and then grew to become the Home Shopping Network.
Millions across the world were captivated by the convenience and allure of home shopping,
and other channels quickly appeared, such as QVC UK, sit-up LTD, Ideal World, and Gems TV and more recently Bid Up TV and other discount themed sites.
Shopping on the information super highway aka Internet Shopping
The next major home shopping rage developed on the internet, which coincidentally gained momentum during the same period.
Now, millions shop at home via the new highway, and the benefits of home shopping have increased dramatically.
With online auction houses and great discounters, home shopping has become a great way of finding discounts, bargains and saving money.
Many traditional mail-order catalogues offer their dazzling products online as well.
