Online Grocery Shopping Website

Online Grocery Shopping Website In this era of modernization, it is becoming very difficult for the grocery shops to sustain without having an online shopping portal. To match with the changing patterns of buyers, Miou Co is planning to open an online shopping website for its grocery products. This report presents the market research of buying patterns and consumer traits of customers with respect to online grocery shopping. It also presents the marketing implications for the company when it opts for opening an online shopping website. The market research was conducted by both the methods i.e. secondary research (Literature review) and primary research (Focused Group and In-Depth Interviews). The major findings from the research suggest that customers prefer online shopping as compared to offline shopping for grocery products given that some constraints are taken care of. The customers across age-groups have different opinions in terms of their traits for buying online, but indicate one straight forward trait that they are happy to have an online shopping experience as it has many advantages over offline shopping. The market research findings suggest to Miou Co. Ltd. that it should open an online shopping website. The major marketing implications identified by the research are: The marketing efforts should focus on building the brand name and brand awareness among the customers as trust is one of the prerequisite of online shopping. The marketing messages should focus on payment security, information accuracy, fast and safe delivery of products and online shopping advantages. The company should come up with a marketing campaign for the website to attract the customers to the website. Introduction Present era is an era of globalization where the world is considered to be flat. The era of globalization has come into existence largely because of the internet boom and internet is considered to be the fastest way of communication. Through internet a person can have its presence at any corer of the world. In fact, the world of internet is different from the real world and thus it is called as a virtual world. People are living in this virtual world through social networking websites and not even people but several companies have also made their presence in the virtual world utilizing the internet boom (Cohen, Manion Morrison, 2007). Internet is not only used to spread awareness about the products but now it is also explicitly used for shopping. Online shopping is new shopping address for the customers and now they can do everything on internet whatever they do while visiting a normal brick and mortar shop. As e-commerce and online shopping is becoming popular and profitable, many companies are now entering this virtual world for opening their online shopping portal. Almost every business in developed countries provides an option of buying products through internet because this helps in increasing the customer base. Same is the case with the Miou Co. Ltd. which is a national supermarket chain in Australia. This company is aiming to open an online grocery shopping website so that customer can also shop through their website. This is a very important step for the company as opening an online shopping portal is a very expensive and complex process unlike a normal street-shop (Creswell, 2002). Internet shops make life of customers more comfortable but at the same time cost associated with opening of internet shops are also high. Thus proper analysis needs to be carried in order to reach a conclusion of opening online shopping website. This report will include the analysis of customer buying behavior and also analysis of the target segment. This report will majorly deal with the thorough analysis of the customer traits and also the perception of these customers towards online grocery shopping. Secondary research is done by researching scholarly articles and journals on marketing and research. This will help in developing literature review of the presented topic. Then primary research is conducted to analyze the customer buying behavior and perceptions towards online grocery shopping. Analysis of the responses of the primary research conducted helps in deriving on any solution as well as it helps in providing the recommendations to the Miou Co. Ltd. for retaining and acquiring new customers as well as marketing implications. Literature Review Internet boom has presented shoppers a new address and companies one more point of contact through online shopping. Online shopping is considered to be inevitable for the companies which directly deal with customers for their daily needs. Thus the main categories which are very successful in increasing the customer bases are fashion products, electronic items, consumer durables, grocery items, computer accessories and peripherals. These are the major categories which have huge number of customers on internet also (Piercy, 2006). Online shopping is thus considered as a very profitable option by the companies which have presence as brick and mortar stores across any region. The customers earlier used to visit local shops for fulfilling all their needs but it was very difficult for those who were very busy in their daily schedules. These customers wanted to have a comfortable life where they dont have to visit these shops but still they are able to purchase the products. Thus the best s olution for these customers is to have shopping through online medium and by accessing internet (Leedy Ormrod, 2005). Online shopping websites have seen an exponential growth and there are many companies in this sector which dont have any brick and mortar shops but exclusive presence on internet. These are the companies which are dedicatedly providing products to customers through internet. There are many advantages for the companies to get involved in the ecommerce and online shopping without having physical presence (Thoits Virshup, 2007). Some of these advantages are as follows: There is no investment on land and interior decoration while setting up an online shopping portal as compared to establishing a brick and mortar shop. The major chunk of the money invested in opening a traditional offline shop is invested in acquiring land and developing of shop and its interior design. This cost of acquiring land is absent in the case of online shopping. The cost of land comes in millions if the shop has to make presence at many locations in a country. Whereas in case of online shopping portal, this expense is compensated with few dollars spent on buying a domain name (Lawrence, 2005). An online shopping portal can be accessed from any place wherever internet penetration is available. This means that simultaneously, the portal of online shopping can be accessed anywhere and anytime. Whereas in the case of traditional shops it is highly difficult for the owner to open shop at every city in the country. This has huge cost implication and even if a store has a chain of stores then also the owner cannot think of opening more than 100 stores simultaneously. Online shopping is accessible to the customer for 24 hours and 365 days in a year. Whereas this is not possible with the traditional stores as the stores remain closed on holidays and majority of the stores are closed in night (Denzin and Lincoln, 2004). This gives huge benefits and freedom to online shopping stores as they a customer is free to purchase anything around the clock. Overhead cost which consists of electricity, maintenance and staff salary is very high of the traditional stores whereas it is very less in the case of online shopping portals. This increases the profit margin of the online shopping portals several folds when compared to the traditional stores and also the breakeven is reached at faster rate. These are some of the major benefits which are reaped while starting an online shopping portal as compared to starting of traditional shops. Thus these benefits and advantages acts as motivational tools for encouraging online shopping business. These are the benefits for the businessmen who start their own online shopping portal (Hinton, 2004). There are certain more factors which need to be thoroughly checked to analyze and conclude whether it is necessary for the company to have their own online shopping portal. In the era of internet and globalization, almost every country is present in the virtual world but the online ecommerce presence is also dependent upon the type of product to be sold and the characteristics as well as buying pattern of the prospective customers. May be the product can be successfully catered to the customers through online but the buying pattern of the customers would not allow them to buy these products online. In developing countries like Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Philippines and many under developed countries, the penetration of internet is very less (Ridgeway Johnson, 2000). Hence the products which are successfully selling in developed nations like United States of America and United Kingdom will not sell properly in developing and poor nations. Thus from the above example it ca n be clearly attributed that there are several other factors which needs to be observed while deciding on the parameters which are very crucial for the success of the online shopping portal. Some of the major parameters which have been considered as crucial for the success of the online shopping portals are discussed in detail as follows (Loken, Kim Monga, 2006): Customer Buying Behavior: This is the most important and impactful parameter which is part of the decision of opening of an online shopping portal as end customers are the persons who will earn the business and revenues. The buying pattern is highly important to be analyzed properly and without bias so that the feasibility of the portal can be calculated. Customer buying behavior is composed of the propensity of the customers to buy products online. This propensity is rises because of several reasons which can be: Customer want to compare and check about the product at several different place and then he makes his buying decision after choosing from several other alternatives which are present. This decision is based majorly on comparing the prices as well as reviews. Currently most of the online shopping websites have a reviews section for the product and these reviews are written by the users (Tsushima Burke, 2009). Thus customers are highly dependent upon the reviews of the customers who are using that product. Other buying decision factor is price which can be compared across several other online shopping websites. It is a general opinion that customers tend to purchase same product from any store which is offering least price or the same product at cheapest price. On internet websites, the shoppers have wide array of websites offering products and thus the customers choose the product which is available at least price (Johnson, Garbarino Sivadas, 2006). The customer also checks about the verification as well as credibility of the online shopping portal. There are many cases where the online shopping websites are fraud and thus customers end up losing their money. This is very prevalent deception or scam in many countries because it is easy for the website owners to conceal their identity and thus cheat the customers. In fact the customers should also verify whether the product being sent by the company is same as described in the website else they will end up paying higher cost for a local material made product. These are some of the critical parameters which modify the buying behavior pattern of the customers. Hence any company while launching their website should be able to analyze their customer buying pattern. Brand Awareness: Shopping on internet is very easy if the brand or company from which is the shopping is being done is a well known brand. Thus it can be said that customers feel comfortable if the corporate name is a well known name in the country and thus the credibility issues are properly captured (Khare Inman, 2006). It is very easy for the customers to shop on the online shopping website of the brand which is known to them and they have even used the product by purchasing it from traditional store. Hence a national supermarket chain which is a known in any given country will definitely have mass audience to follow the online shopping too same as they visit the brick and mortar shop. Psychographics: The Psychographics is the study of the characteristics of the personality, traits, values and lifestyle of the customers. This is a highly important parameter which is utilized by the marketers for segmentation of the target market. The major area which is being focused by Psychographics is interests, activities and opinions and these parameters help in analyzing the lifestyle and values of the customers. For example, People of South Korea are considered to be worlds most hardworking people on earth. They want to save time wherever it is possible. Thus their lifestyle does not allow them to spend much time in grocery supermarkets in turn they want to keep them busy in work. Thus one of the national supermarket chains in South Korea came up with an idea of selling grocery products on the go to the customers through mobile application. This was one of the brilliant strategies to increase the customer wallets share and also retaining as well as acquiring new customers (G oebert Rosenthal, 2002). This strategy was purely based upon the lifestyle of target segment and hence it can be said that the psychographics study was nicely conducted. Internet usage frequency: For the success of online shopping portals, the customers should have high internet usage frequency (Miles and Huberman, 1994). It never happens that any customer will use internet just for shopping. Thus internet penetration and internet usage is also a known and crucial factor in deciding the fate of online shopping portal. Security concerns: Majority of the population are aware of the fraudulent practices on internet like hacking and phishing which make a user prone to some form of cyber attack. While purchasing any product on internet, a user has to give information about credit or debit card number or internet banking passwords which are highly confidential information (Couper, 2008). If this information is accessed by some other person then he can monetarily harm the user. Thus the majority of the online shopping websites have secured network line and even certified SSL lines provided by different gateways. These gateways provide secure form of transaction of money from one account to another. Thus users should be made aware of these security standards and also all the online shopping websites should strictly follow all the security measures in order to maximize customer wallet share. These are some of the major parameters which help in deciding the success of online shopping portals and thus marketing managers should consider analyzing all the above parameters very carefully while developing online shopping portals. Research Methodology The research is being conducted by the marketing manager of Miou Co. Ltd. which is a national supermarket chain in Australia. Considering the emergence of online shopping websites, Miou Co. Ltd. also wants to establish its own online grocery shopping portal. Research Problem: The research is being conducted for Miou Co. Ltd. to understand the marketing implications of opening of online shopping website. The research will mainly analyze the customer buying behavior and perceptions towards online shopping. Research Objective: The research objective sets a path for the research conduct and this objective helps in clarification about the core reason which needs to be brought out by this research. In this report the research objectives can be identified as: To know the customer perception towards online shopping of grocery items. To analyze Customer buying behavior when they turn internet shopper. These research objectives are the core focus of this research and it will help in observing the target audience as well as increasing the new and retained customers. Research Proposition: The research proposition or research plan/ proposal describes about the overall scenario of the research. The research is based on the primary research i.e. data is gathered directly from the customers (Leedy Ormrod, 2005). The market research tools being employed in this report is focused group discussion and depth interviews to know the customer characteristics as well as buying behavior. Significance of Market Research The market research is conducted to understand the customer buying behavior and their decision making patterns while shopping on internet. The customers are also analyzed to know the personality traits so that the company can target the appropriate audience. This market research will clear all the confusions from top managements regarding the feasibility as well as profitability of the online grocery shopping portal. Focus Group Design The focus group is a group discussion conducted among a group of 15-25 people who represents the target segment of the company (Deaux, 2002). In the focused group discussion, there is a moderator who presents the questions which needs to be discussed in focus group. These questions are relevant to the research objectives. All the respondents are then free to discuss their opinion in the discussion and the moderator analyses the discussion as well as information. For this research, there were 3 focus group discussions held and there were 20 members representing the same target segment but different age group. 1st focus group discussion happened between people from age 18-25 years, 2nd happened between 26-40 years and 3rd discussion happened with people above age of 40 years. The questions asked in the focus group were as follows: How often you all shop online and what are the most selling categories? What level of security should be present in the online shopping websites? What are major advantages as well as disadvantages of using online shopping website? Why will a person buy grocery products through online shopping website? What are the chief factors which presents resistance while buying products online? Ethical Issues relevant to Focus Groups The major ethical issue with focus group discussion is that identity of respondents is revealed and thus this is an impediment for unbiased response (Cooley, 2009). Respondents are unsure whether they should respond honestly or they should say whatever moderator wants to hear. In this research, this ethical issue is handled by telephonic focus group discussion. This is a new form of discussion where it is not necessary that respondent is present physically thus it helps in unbiased opinion flow in the discussion. Findings from Focus groups Majorly the responses from all the three focus groups were coherent with slight change. The major points which emerged are as follows: In Australia, majority of the population has awareness about the internet and hence they are aware of using internet for shopping. The major factors while choosing online shopping website is brand name, reviews and quality of product and security. Almost everyone has an opinion that they will opt to buy only packaged products from online grocery store because they dont want to stay in billing queues and want to spend their time in other recreational activities. Apart from the convenience and comparison of prices instantly the major advantage of online shopping is home delivery. But the major drawback of e-commerce is that customer cannot touch or feel the product before the ownership, hence chance of fraud is high. In-Depth Interviews These are the type of interviews which are conducted to have confidential, secure and personal information regarding the research objective (DeVellis, 2003). These interviews are generally carried out at the home of interviewee to get natural surroundings for unbiased opinions. In-Depth Interviews in this research was conducted over 15 respondents by going in their home and taking almost 1.5 hrs to complete. Respondents were given ample amount of time to reply to the questions and forming their opinions. The major points which were asked in the interview are as follows: Are you comfortable with online shopping and if yes then what are the categories you prefer. If no, then what are the reasons for not being comfortable? Major advantages and disadvantages related to online shopping? What are the benefits from shopping online? Why would you prefer or not prefer shopping grocery products through website? You like to go traditional shops for shopping or like to shop on internet? Ethical Issues relevant to In-Depth Interviews The major ethical issue in the In-Depth Interviews is that the interviewer should conceal the information about the respondent and also about the information (Gaines, 2005). He should provide the analysis of the interview rather than giving raw information which was carefully handled in this research. Findings from In-Depth Interviews The findings from these interviews were almost same as that of focused discussions but the depth of information is much more in this case. Findings are as follows: Almost all the respondents were comfortable with online shopping format because of high internet penetration. The majority of the categories for online shopping are electronic items and fashion as well as clothing products. The major influencer for online shopping is lifestyle and the choice of product is very high in online shopping format. But the disadvantages in case of online shopping are security issues, credibility of the product offered. Also the touch and feel factor is missing in this case. The major benefit is that respondents dont have to visit physically for buying even a single item as well as they can devote saved time to do other beneficial activities. Majority of the respondents would prefer to shop online grocery to save their time but they will prefer shopping only from established corporate names as it helps in building credibility. Marketing Implications According to the findings, the company should definitely launch the online shopping portal. This will help them in increasing the customer base. But several things which need attention are: The brand name of the online website should be relevant to the corporate name Miou Co. Ltd. as it will develop credibility. Marketing efforts need to be directed to achieve this. The marketing campaigns should focus on the benefits like 100% secure transaction and fastest way of purchasing grocery while doing other activities. Company should also come up with several offers which will benefit the end customers and thus de-motivate them to go other grocery stores. Price plays a major role in buying decision making. Limitations of Research Methods The research work being conducted was driven very carefully but then also there are certain limitations which are as follows: The sample size for the interview and focus group was less and thus the sampling population cannot be attributed as complete target segment characteristics (Linville, 2007). The moderator and interviewer are the only persons responsible for the data quality as well as unbiased opinions. Thus there may be chances that the inferred information might be wrong or biased as per opinion of researcher. The environment for focus discussion was artificial as it was conducted through telephone (Kollock, 2004). Thus there are chances that this artificial environment has modified the response of the respondents. Conclusion The research is being conducted for the company Miou Co. Ltd. which is national supermarket chain. This research aims to analyze the customer buying pattern as well as their perceptions towards online shopping and specifically online grocery shopping. The research is conducted as primary research and the data gathering tools employed is focus group discussions as well as in-depth interviews. This helped in gathering the information about the customer perception, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of online shopping and the points which acts as an obstacle to online shopping. Depending upon the analysis, marketing implications are carved which will help the top management in designing the marketing campaigns for success of online grocery shopping website.

Creative writing – A Christmas to remember

For the first time in her life, Catherine Benson faced the prospect of spending Christmas alone. With a mixture of fond thoughts of the past and the sadness, she recalled the Christmas's of her childhood happy times full of love, laughter and family togetherness. However, this year, her parents were spending Christmas with her brother, who was happily married and with a family of his own. He lived In Wales. Of course, ever since college there had been Anthony. But even thinking the name now bought pain of sadness and loneliness. Anthony and Catherine had been inseparable. They has so many plans for the future. They'd shared dreams and so she thought, they shared lives. But that had all crumbled to dust in the last few months. The love she thought would last forever had failed to stand the first major test of their relationship. Sighing, she draped the last piece of tinsel over the branches of her small tree and stepped back to cast a critical eye upon it. It barely seemed worth the effort just for herself. Some how the tree and the fireplace, served only to make her situation seem little more worthwhile. If only she could get Anthony McBride out of her mind as effectively as he had removed himself from her life. But he crept into her thoughts at the most weirdest times and though it had been several hard painful weeks since they had split up, she'd been unable to let go of her deep feelings for him, she couldn't ignore them. â€Å"We're having a couple of friends over for Christmas Eve. Catherine please say you'll come.† Louise Andrews enticed at work the next day. New friends and a new job had given her something to focus on after Anthony. But, unused to being single, and still nursing her broken heart, Catherine had shied away from taking up a social life again. â€Å"I don't know, Louise.† She said answered cautiously. â€Å"Come on.† Her friend replied joyfully. â€Å"It's Christmas-the last of the century! It'll only be a small gathering I promise.† Smiling, Catherine allowed herself to be persuaded. Perhaps Louise was right. With the millennium coming up, it was time to cast off the past and to look forward to the future with hope and new years resolutions. So on the night before Christmas, she found herself hovering anxiously outside the door of the flat that Louise shared with her fiancà ¯Ã‚ ¿Ã‚ ½, Dominic. Very nervously she took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. â€Å"Catherine I'm so glad you decided to come.† Louise greeted her with a warm smile. â€Å"These are for you† Catherine handed over a bottle of wine and a big box of chocolates. â€Å"Sorry it's not very original.† â€Å"They're lovely! Let me take your coat and get you a drink, then I can introduce you to everyone.† Catherine hesitated in the doorway of the nicely decorated living room. Soft relaxing music played in the background, and half a dozen people stood in small groups, chatting and laughing. â€Å"You'll soon relax and find everyone really friendly. Dominic has invited a friend from the gym. He'll be feeling just as nervous as you, trying to get back into the swing of things as a single person after the break up of a long-term relationship.† â€Å"Now I hope you're not matchmaking.† Catherine protested with an anxious smile. â€Å"Maybe just a bit.† Louise teased. â€Å"Dominic says his friend is funny, generous and compassionate, and if he's half as good looking as I've been lead to believe, you'll be thanking me before the evening is over.† Catherine doubted it, but she held her tongue. Slipping her wine, she curbed the sudden instinct to run. She had to face some people some time. â€Å"I thought you'd ducked out on me.† Dominic greeted his guest when the door opened. â€Å"I did wonder about coming, but I knew if I didn't I would never hear the end of it. Sorry if I'm late.† â€Å"That's okay. It's only a buffet supper and we haven't started yet. Come and meet the others, what will you have to drink?† â€Å"Beer if you have it, thanks.† He replied. Stepping intensively inside the flat. Anthony asked himself for the hundredth time what he was doing here. Parties weren't his thing; he'd tended to shy away from social gatherings of any kind in the last few weeks, turning himself into work and sport instead. Following Dominic into the kitchen, he leaned on the counter and watched as his friend poured the drinks. â€Å"Louise has bought a friend from the bank I think you should meet.† Dominic said cautiously. Anthony's heart sank. â€Å"I don't want to meet anyone, not like that anyway.† â€Å"She's lovely Anthony, she's been hurt badly herself, so she knows how difficult it is to take the plunge and meet new people. Give her a chance; she's funny and intelligent. You'll like her.† Strongly wishing he hadn't come, but unable to walk away, Anthony followed his friend through to the other room. The sound of the lively conversation daunted on him for a moment, and he hesitated on the threshold. As soon as he entered the room, a tingle of awareness caught him by surprise. He scanned the room, and then he saw her. Catherine. His breath caught in his throat. Suddenly, it was as if the last painful, lonely weeks had been stripped away. She was here, in the same room, looking as lovely as ever, but unapproachable and out of his reach. Before he could retreat, Catherine turned and saw him. Shock registered on her face. His mouth tightened, just as she had been shutting him out in the last few weeks they'd been together. â€Å"Come and meet Carolyn† Dominic suggested. â€Å"No†¦Ã¢â‚¬ ¦..I..† His friend brushed his protest aside. â€Å"She was very broken up over the split with her fiancà ¯Ã‚ ¿Ã‚ ½. But she told Louise that he just never listened to her.† Dominic confided quietly. Catherine had said that? Stunned, Anthony didn't resist as Dominic steered him across the room. Catherine couldn't believe that Anthony was here. What a disaster. Just the sight of him had brought back all the pain and heartache and it had taken only a second to confirm her worst fears. Despite everything, she still loved him. â€Å"That's the friend of Dominic's I was telling you about.† Louise whispered, pushing her forward. They met in the middle of the room. If it hadn't have been so embarrassing it would have been funny. But she was too hurt, too shocked to laugh. And it was clear that Louise and Dominic had no idea what was happening. â€Å"We'll leave you to get to know each other.† Louise smiled. â€Å"You have so much in common.† Dominic said innocently. Louise and Dominic sneaked off quietly. â€Å"I didn't think I would ever see you again.† Catherine managed to say after a tense moment. â€Å"How have you been?† Anthony said awkwardly. â€Å"Not good.† She admitted. â€Å"You?† â€Å"The same.† Anthony absorbed everything about her, every single feature of her was the same, except the fact that she was thinner and her complexion had lost the happy healthy glow that it was had. â€Å"Did you really say that I never listened to you?† Dominic enquired. She nodded, her hands nervously fiddling in front of her. â€Å"Well you thought that I didn't need you anymore.† Catherine replied. â€Å"You shut me out!† â€Å"No I never, you weren't interested you were always so busy with work, you never had time for me. You never took time to really listen to me, not like used to.† Anthony took a step back, remembering all the silly quarrels that had taken their toll on their relationship. Catherine realized that neither of them had listened to each other. Everyone regrouped to enjoy the buffet supper. Neither of them ate anything, they were too busy thinking about what they had said to each other. And what now, did he still care for her as she cared for him? She met his gaze across the room. How could she loved him so much and not realize how he was feeling? Was there a chance they could get back together, could he forgive her? Anthony tried to mix with the other guests, but he couldn't stop thinking about Catherine. Could she forgive him for all the hurt and pain he had caused her? The weeks without her had been dreadful, and seeing her again had only made him realize how much he really needed her. Was it too late? At last the gathering broke up. Anthony said goodbye and left the flat, but instead of going straight home, he waited outside for Catherine to appear. â€Å"Thank you for this evening.† Catherine murmured. She slipped on her coat and left. As she was leaving the building she felt disappointed that Anthony had left and nothing happened between them. A figure emerged from the shadows as she left the building and stepped onto the pavement. â€Å"Oh.† She gasped. â€Å"I thought you had gone.† She said. Relieved with the fact the he had waited for her. â€Å"Can I walk you home?† Anthony asked. â€Å"Thank you I'd like that.† They walked side by side. Catherine felt nervous, uncertain what to say, but scared if she said nothing at all. Just being near her made him feel better. He didn't want this chance to slip, but could he find the right words to say? They began to walk slower and slower and gradually they came to a halt, where they turned to each other. â€Å"I'm sorry.† They said in harmony along with a nervous smile. Anthony reached out a tentative hand to take one of hers. â€Å"I've missed you, Catherine.† He whispered. â€Å"I've been so miserable without you.† She replied. Very slowly they drew together and hugged. â€Å"We haven't been very clever.† They agreed with each other. â€Å"Will you take me back, give me a second chance?† Anthony questioned. â€Å"Only if you will. Look it's snowing.† Across the road the church bell struck midnight. Christmas day. â€Å"Shall we go in?† Anthony asked. â€Å"Yes please, we have so much to give thanks for.† She agreed. Behind them another couple strolled slowly towards the church. â€Å"They'll be alright now.† Louise pronounced with satisfaction. â€Å"Shall we tell them we knew all along?† Dominic asked. â€Å"Maybe one day, but not just yet.† Squeezing her hand as they walked up the steps, Dominic knew he was equally lucky in the love that he had. â€Å"Happy Christmas, Louise†¦Ã¢â‚¬ ¦Ã¢â‚¬ 

If this is the case, you may choose to use the chart below to organize the paragraphs within the body of your essay. An excellent essay should have essential points. This provides you with an edge from your classmates. This specific aim is reached through the use of hook sentences at the very start. Inside my experience, I've often discovered that the darkest paths are frequently the most illuminating. Also remember your paragraph must contain 3 up to five sentences that develop one but crystal clear point. At this stage, you might very well be thinking that you're finished with your essay, but you're not. Needless to say, pedestrian, soulless introductory paragraphs are much harder to avoid. So far as essay structure goes, a 4 or 5 paragraph essay based on the number of points you might want to argue is a superb start.
