Since 2017 live here in going to pull duc de web sites local retailers have been offering thousands of articles mykola test set up the website is this going spose answer to amazon.

But can that hope to drop in sales caused by sites like amazon in a bookshop which also offer School Supplies like satchels island another shopping trip. I wonder what happens if someone photographs a barcode on yeah this is the part is nowadays youve got software which automatically shows the product on the internet if you go through so you get customers who walk into a shop look for something then just take a picture of it if they like it its quite cheeky isnt it very close with. Yeah yeah but thats just the way things are thats why Herman Hunter has been online for years where he markets the hundreds of thousands of articles in his store room he says people are going into town less and that has repercussions. On the other hand customers actually going into a shop of better informed than ever before thanks to the internet thats good for retailers people who come into this wine shop for specific wines try them and then get them delivered to their homes. I only sell italian wines but i still have 800 different types from every region north to south and the island. Reds whites rose a bubbly here in relatively small i can offer you a selection youd normally only find in big cities.

And well ship it anywhere in germany for free. Kara doc sickly the otherwise disruptive internet of a some conventional retailers at least a much better chance of survival. So weve established that a big chunk of our entire lives takes place on live but it doesnt stop there next report is a reminder that the internet is indeed everywhere in life and in death. As we know mean the 5 never really thought much about coffins. Plats lucky black lacquered definitely not forwards pinewood individually decorated who was a former rectangular walnut birch. Italian style solid wood which i like. Most of the coffins here cost between 1. 30 euros. Yes thats not crucial if i were picking one for my own burial id be asking how much am i worth. Or if its for one of my loved ones what are they worth to me should i shell out 12 or 3000 euros and cards when i have not had to ask myself that question so far but its one that everyone probably has to ask at some point. What are we worth when we die. This funeral home has been dealing with death since 861. 00 fabiani lensing who heads the Family Business says the funeral ive picked would cost 3. 00 and a half 1000 euros the price reflects not just the coffin and the flowers ive chosen but also the fact that lensing is available around the clock. As its misconstrued with sometimes we spend 5 hours with a client discussing all the details that we might work on the text for the deaf announcement or on the decorations of the Funeral Service the music there are lots of details doesnt and i think you can only do them justice by discussing them in person. Because anything is pretty good i just. Undertakers are often criticised for charging too much the bereaved tend not to haggle. But what p. R. Involved says his company can offer funerals 30 percent cheaper with no hidden costs the berlin startup has raised millions from investors the purchasing and planning processes have been digitalized customers can select everything on their computers or via telephone hotline that way they can see how much each item costs and what the total price will be. As an exception i get a personal consultation here the same package id picture earlier would cost around 600. 00 euros less. What kind if because people dont really have a sense of what it costs we made a video about that we went out and asked people what they thought of funeral costs and the answers ranged from 5215000 euros or much more we heard everything that comes with somebody like them so people dont know what a fair price would be yes exactly i dont think they have any sense of what the right price might be but if they go up there i think the of. Death is big business. In germany about 900000. 00 people die each year with funeral revenues totaling 2000000000. 00 euros its a market that conventional full service undertakers like benson are having to share with more and more new competitors and here he is making the final preparations in the chapel before the mourners his clients arrive he says his companys image has less to do with pricing than its reputation for reliability. And he says he cant compete with startups that have the backing of big investors. These are often Institutional Investors that put money into lots of things theyre like about well see maybe itll pan out maybe it wasnt the market leads to a distortion of the market for the smaller businesses that might not have the resources to keep up with prices like that was squeezed out. Digitalisation is changing things in his industry. True most people still prefer to hire undertakers to guide them personally through the funeral process rather than plan the event themselves on their computers. But im convinced that for my generation that will have changed when our time comes. And even death is digital now and thats happy no that wraps it dition of my it thanks for watching and do join us again next up until then its goodbye for me and the team.
