E-Shopping E-zier Than Ever for Buying Much-Needed Scepter Fuel and Water Containers
Thursday, August 19, 2021

Online sales of gas, water and boat fuel containers from Scepter has spiked dramatically in 2021. Elevated growth in ecommerce shopping as a result of COVID-19 accounts for changing the way consumers purchase products.

MIAMI, Okla., Aug. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Our time in quarantine during COVID-19 has changed the way Americans shop. Forever. The ease of ordering products online makes it simple to get anything from vitamins to fuel containers to shoes delivered to our homes fast.

According to several studies, the elevated growth in ecommerce shopping as a result of COVID-19 is here to stay. A report from McKinsey & Co. states that online ordering increased 35% between January 2020 and January 2021, based on credit and debit card expenditures. And, they predict that people's use of convenient online shopping will not go away.

"We certainly have seen online ordering of our products accelerate through our retail partners since March of 2020," says Melissa Obradovic with Scepter®. "The more familiar people become with online ordering, the more the 'fear factor' has evaporated. They seem to appreciate the ease and speed of shopping on the Internet.

"Our online sales of gas, water and even boat fuel containers has spiked dramatically in the past year. And, we expect to see that continue to grow throughout the rest of this year and into 2022."

Easy E-Shopping
At Scepter, the simplicity and convenience of online shopping has especially accelerated during the summer months. Traditionally a time when people require fuel and water containers for powering outdoor chores and sporting equipment, the summer is also a time when families prepare for potential weather emergencies. Keeping both clean water and a good supply of fuel on hand is critical for many homeowners and businesses across the country during hurricane season.

"There are certainly people who are not comfortable yet shopping in stores and prefer to stay with online sales," says Obradovic. "Then there are those people who have found online shopping is a huge timesaver. For both these categories of consumers we have a wide variety of Scepter products available through national online retailers."

Obradovic relates that Scepter offers the following products through web stores and online retailers, oftentimes with free and fast delivery service:

    --  Scepter® SmartControl(TM) 1-, 2- and 5-gallon fuel containers (gas,
        diesel and kerosene) - Amazon®, Walmart®, The Home Depot®, Lowe's®
