Some people might say that buying latest device as soon as launched is better than waiting until many people have bought it while others do not think this way. If I had to choose one among the two above, I would say that it is much better to wait until others have bought the new technological device. There are a couple of reasons and examples as follows. To begin with, I can have more time to think that whether or not I really need the device. Actually, many people regret that they bought the latest device without enough thinking. I will talk about my personal experience to illustrate my opinion. I remembered when I was a university student and I bought a Galaxy S7 of SAMSUNG as soon as it is available. Not much later, many latest smart phone of other companies was launched. One of the phones that was launched when I already had bought one had a function what I really wanted. Thus, I promised I would not buy something as soon as it is available. Reflecting on my case, having more time is very beneficial to choice what people really need and want. On top of that, they may regret buying the device because actually the device is not as good as they thought. This is supported by a survey that was conducted by Kim&Zhang in Korea. The purpose of the study was to understand the consensus view about the satisfaction of their choice. In the investigation, a total of 800 buyers who bought the new technological device as soon as it was launched completed a detailed questionnaire. What they found was intriguing. An overwhelming 87% had responded that they regretted buying their new device. Most of the reasons were same. This is because they disappointed that the device was not as good as they had expected. The survey proves that many latest devices are not always as good as people's anticipation. To sum up, waiting until many people have bought what they want will give more chance to buy other better devices and is unlikely to be disappointed. For these reasons, I strongly believe my choice is the best way to become a smart shopper. |
