How to find what you want!

1. The Long Tail theory, for me, was very confusing and I had trouble understanding how it fit into the group of six different ways we purchase goods from the internet. After discussing with my classmates and doing further research, I think I understand! The Long Tail Theory represents some of the most popular websites we use everyday. Online shopping is so much easier than in-store shopping; the Long Tail Theory describes how we can find anything we could dream of on Amazon, E-Bay and other online stores that you could never visit physically. Online sites can sell niche products to certain consumers, instead of searching through hundreds of stores for something you'll never find. An example I thought of is Google! Although we don't always purchase things from Google or other search engines, we tell the website what we're looking for; including key words, dates, and other things that it might relate to. Being able to search through thousands of websites and information to find the ONE article you're looking for is part of the theory. 

2. I would 100% consider my consuming behavior to be "the bargainer". First of all, I don't have a lot of money to spend so I always search for the greatest deals. I compare prices on multiple platforms and I most likely won't buy something unless I know I will never find it cheaper anywhere else. Another example of how I am the biggest cheapskate is that I try to trick the system. Most website's have an option to enter a coupon or promo code to lower your total right before checkout. I always search online for free promo codes to lower my total. It doesn't always work and usually I waste my time, but sometimes you find a lucky code that saves you a whopping $1!
