It’s
always been a good thing for any website that can bring entertainment and ease
of use for their online users. As Internet continues to evolve on a global
aspect. The never ending demands get higher as technology becomes more
sophisticated. Good thing that there are affordable smartphones and netbooks.
This paved way in increasing the local online users overtime in the
Philippines. Just a couple of years ago, we didn’t have online shopping malls
as an option to address our shopping needs. Actually, online shopping was not a
household name going back a couple of years ago. The idea of having an online
mall based in the country may sound absurd then. But it all changed when
website like Lazada arrived in the
country. It was the first online shopping mall that offers huge selections
similar to what a traditional mall offers. They even offer the guarantees and warranties
that a mall would offer to their customers. But what sets them apart from the
competition is their capability to offer an overall outstanding online shopping
experience. While other online stores are unable to offer payment flexibility.
Conventionally,
online payments are done online. But with Lazada they introduced Cash on
Delivery or C.O.D. This payment method speaks for its actual name. Their
customers can pay cash upon delivery. Users can go directly to the
lazada.com.ph website and not pay right away. All they need to do is leave
their shipment address. They only need to wait for two to five days if they are
located around Metro Manila. Some even receive their orders as early as the
next day. Once Lazada delivers your order at your doorstep, you are allowed to
inspect before you pay in cash once the order package is handed over to you.
That’s how Lazada made sure that their customers have the best payment
flexibility in the Philippines. Not all online stores are able to offer such
payment method since it requires a lot of risk from a business standpoint.
But
Lazada, who aims to make sure their customers get the best online shopping
experience in the Philippines, knows that this is something that needs to be
done in order to show the local online users that they can be trusted and
relied on. So the shopping and payment experience is clearly custom-tailored to
make local customers easily decide to shop on their store. I mean who wouldn’t?
It’s clearly a one sided deal when we are talking about Lazada’s “Cash on
Delivery” payment method. But these are not only the main focus of Lazada. They
also made sure that their customers won’t have a hard time browsing their
website. The more it is easier for the customers, the higher the chance it can
easily convert since they can just focus on their shopping and not get annoyed
due to slow website load speed or very crappy user interface. Despite have a
lot of media files, especially product images on the lazada.com.ph website,
they still managed to balance the website’s speed performance.
