Brand stores also seem very popular, just look at Apple. Maybe you will buy your $1K phone on-line but you may want to take a look at it somewhere. Many people goes to a shop to look at products and then buy them on-line. That is not sustainable as the shop has the high-cost of physical presence but it is losing business to on-line. Alibaba is not going to open big stores for people to peruse around nor is Amazon. So, the only ones interested in showing product for free to users are the makers of that products. Even with very generous return policies is a pain in the ass to buy things and return them back again and again because they are not exactly what you wanted. To go to the store and browse all products in one sit is not only more efficient but many people enjoys the experience.
