Helping customers at Scrubs by Identity Factor.

Buying Scrubs In-Person vs. Online

In the past, brick-and-mortar stores were the go-to for all shopping needs. However, with the advent of the Internet, physical store locations seem to be becoming less relevant. While stores still exist, most companies offer their products online, allowing customers to purchase from the comfort of their homes. Even groceries can now be ordered and delivered directly to your doorstep. Despite this shift, physical stores still have a place in today’s economy. Keep reading to discover the advantages and disadvantages of both forms of shopping. 

Benefits of Buying Scrubs Online 

Busy professionals wearing scrubs as their daily uniform are more likely to have hectic schedules, especially medical professionals. Unfortunately, if you are a medical professional, you likely do not have the time to indulge in visiting shops and taking your time to shop for scrubs. It is time-consuming to compare prices and styles of scrubs. Luckily, we now offer our scrubs online. You can conveniently shop from the comfort of your home, saving you money on gas and the headache of driving to the store. Plus, imagine not having to contend with crowds, nor will you have the hassle of waiting in line. It is also easier to search for what you want, and if you cannot afford to get everything you want now, you can easily save items in your online cart to buy another day. 

If you are shopping specifically for scrubs, your manager may want each employee to wear the same type of scrubs for better uniformity. Finding these identical scrubs may be challenging. In this scenario, your manager will likely tell you the exact brand and where to shop online. If you know your correct size and measurements, shopping online is easy. Be sure your purchase is exactly what you need, so you do not have to worry about returning your item online. However, we can handle your return in-store when you order from Scrubs by Identity Factor to serve you better. To sum up the benefits of shopping online for scrubs, here is a list of the advantages of online shopping:  

  • It saves time since you can shop from anywhere at any time 
  • Saves money on gas or transportation fees 
  • Convenience 
  • Better uniformity 
  • You will not have to manage crowds or long lines 
  • You can compare prices easily 
  • Easily save items for later in an online cart 
  • Easier to search for the things you want or need 

Advantages of Buying Scrubs In-Store 

Today’s scrubs are more advanced than scrubs of the past. You now have many styles, fits, patterns, and designs. One of the most obvious advantages of buying your scrubs in-store is that you will surely get the perfect fit for your body type. Plus, you get to touch and feel the fabric which helps ensure you will find it comfortable. When you shop online, you must “Buy on faith,” meaning there is a “buy before you try” policy. People’s sizes can change often, and what you bought online, using the measurements you thought were accurate, could be the wrong fit. It is a very frustrating experience to order something online only to receive it and find it is not the ideal fit. 

Additionally, the customer service aspect of shopping in-store is an enormous benefit. Scrubs by Identity Factor prides itself on ensuring each customer receives top-notch service. When you shop in-store, you will get answers quickly if you have questions. Plus, we help to assist you with your selection based on your daily needs. Do you need scrubs with many pockets, or would you like less burdensome scrubs? We know all the details about each brand of scrubs and can help you find what fits your budget and needs. In addition, you may find that we carry accessories you have yet to look for online. To help you narrow down whether you should shop online or in-store for your scrubs, here is a list of the advantages of shopping in-store: 

  • You get a better fit, ensuring you feel confident throughout your day. 
  • You can touch and feel the fabric to ensure it is breathable and comfortable. 
  • The various styles are conveniently displayed. 
  • There are no purchase delays. 
  • Returns do not occur as often. 
  • Customer service assistants are readily available to answer any questions. 
  • You may find additional items you need in the store.
