The New Normal Issue 01 2020 Winter

About Add to Cart Magazine We built Issue 01 of Add to Cart with the intention to guide online shoppers on how to become a wise buyer. During these past few months, everyone was in turmoil as this pandemic occurred. Every store was ordered to stop their operations due to the fact that it is hazardous to go outside as this virus spreads rapidly. Because of this, online shoppers are increasing in number as this limit their contact with other people.

With this in mind, we chose the theme “The New Normal” for our magazine and organized our thoughts to help the masses ease their minds when it comes to online shopping. This was planned thoroughly and created with love by Amber Paige Managuit and Ellesandra Shamelee Peralta.

With that said, let’s dive in deeper into the knowledge of online shopping. Sit back, relax, and happy online shopping!
