Though comparison shopping is used widely by online shoppers, very little research exists about how comparison shoppers differ from those who are not involved in comparison shopping. A survey of 208 US consumers identified comparison shoppers, both on and off the web. A comparison using the t-test analysis revealed that comparison shoppers, in contrast to those who are not involved in comparison shopping, have a more positive attitude towards shopping on the web; consumers find it more economical and convenient and believe it to offer more bargains and better selection than traditional shopping. Comparison shoppers also possess a more positive attitude to comparison shopping on the web, seeing it as convenient and easy.
