Football fever, as usual, has gripped everyone this year. The World Cup has thrown up some serious surprise results, with some of the UK's favourite club players making an impact on behalf of the less well fancied sides. The beautiful game is changing, and with that whole rafts of new fans are joining the party. A great time, then, to be buying football tops both national and international.
It used to be pretty difficult to get hold of football jerseys for any except the most famous teams. Effectively, a person looking for a football shirt before the Internet turned into the global hypermarket it is today, had to content themselves with either purchasing one of the big four team shirts from their local sports store, or trekking all the way around the UK (how many people, after all, actually live near the ground of the team they support?) to get replica football tops from team shops. Not any more. Now, fans can source and buy tops for pretty much any teams in the country and a whole lot of international teams besides, both club and country on the good old World Wide Web.
Net shopping gets easier and safer by the day. With sophisticated payment systems in place on nearly every site, certainly on all the good ones, it's possible to pay for items without revealing either bank or credit card details to anyone. That's enabled Internet shopping to make the final leap, becoming the almost completely prevalent form of consumer purchase in the UK. It's really only food that people don't buy so much online: everything else, football tops included, gets sourced and paid for on the Net.
Why? Because the Internet allows people to have a range of choice that simply isn't possible when you are limited by the physical constraints of an actual shop and its associated warehouse. A real world high street store can only hold so much of any given stock item at any one time which means that high street stores have to make choices about what stock lines are carried and which ones aren't. Online, a business can have as many warehouses as it likes. Traditionally items sold online aren't held by the company doing the selling at all they stay at source, and are simply ordered out every time a customer comes to the "store" and asks for them. Effectively, the online store acts as a middle person, collecting orders and farming them out to suppliers. And that means that fans can easily buy football tops from teams all over the world using a web site as an intermediary.
Massive availability, plus infinite warehousing options, usually means cheap products. Online sports stores don't have to pay rent on a warehouse: they just order their stock direct from suppliers as and when it is needed. That brings the overall price of their items down significantly. So fans looking for football tops aren't just treated to a much greater range of choice; they're also passed on the financial benefits of affordable storage. The beautiful game isn't only more accessible it's more affordable, too.
