About

AVINTEL has created the World's First Online SuperBoutique by combining the best aspects of shopping online, at a Superstore and a Boutique; while leaving out the downfalls.

Superstore vs. Boutique vs. Online

Benefits of the Superstore
Number of different products
Quantity of products carried and sold
Volume pricing with manufacturers
If browsing products before purchasing a customer can view the widest selection of items
Perceived longevity and legitimacy
Easy to find the store

Downfalls of Superstores
Quality of products, usually mainstream - virtually no high-end items
Lack of specialty items
Parking sometimes sucks
Subliminal influences that only large corporations can afford to implement that may influence a person to purchase items before they would have wanted to.
Service - staff is often under-trained but offers advice as if they were well trained because there is no way to track these mistakes - little oversight

Superstore misconceptions
Pricing - items usually sold at Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) Longevity - Priceclub, GoodGuys, Circuit City.
Legitimacy - All the major financial companies and the 3 big credit rating agencies
Service -
Returns - receipts are usually printed on specialty thermal paper that quickly causes the print to disappear like disappearing ink. Secret shady tactics employed by these so-called legitimate companies.
Convenience
The perceived convenience or selection of when people go to a superstore is often a result of it being such a (???Truck to the store type experience???) That if they don't find exactly what they are looking for, they may buy something close to it anyway. Often a great part about a boutique or shopping online is the ability to quickly find out that the place does not have the item you're looking for. This allows you to move on. Superstores keep that from happening so you often just buy something so you don't go through that experience again.

Benefits of Boutiques
Shopping experience, store is well organized
If the store doesn't have the item, you know and can in and out quickly
Specialty and high-end items
Staff is usually attentive.
