Online Shopping Mania

Come recession, come what may, the retail industry hardly ever feels the pinch (at least not as much as the other industries). This is just 'cos the needs of the people never seem to decrease, and these needs need to be constantly met.

The demand for most products keeps changing, depending on the time of the year, fashion trends, market trends, and often simply according to the mood of the customer, amongst other things. But there are certain products that just never seem to go out of fashion with the customers. Call them timeless classics of the retail industry if you will, some products seem to sell like hot cakes irrespective of the time, and any other factor.
