This research was conducted to determine the differences between male and female Internet users on their perceptions and attitudes toward online shopping. Data were collected from 500 respondents via social network website, Facebook. The results of the study revealed that men are more in favour of online shopping, have positive attitude towards web advertising, and perceive online shopping as more useful compared to women. On the other hand, women users perceive online shopping to be joyful than men. This research results have profound implications on online retailers and marketers. |
