NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- There are two very good reasons why online retail sales consistently outgrow traditional every year: Shopping online is more convenient and typically much less expensive. For instance, consumer electronics from cameras to smartphones can usually be had for cheaper online, books used or new (or electronic) are usually priced more cheaply at Amazon(AMZN) than in a big bookstore and even shoes tend to be cheaper online now that most of the online shoe retailers offer free shipping.
"Whether it's a big online retailer or a smaller one, the reality is that most things are going to be a much better price online," says Ken Wisnefski, founder of WebiMax, an online marketing firm.
Most, but not all.
