How come we are having a hard time on relying on something
or someone we are not familiar with? It’s simple; it’s hard to trust anything
nowadays. This is similar to the online industry where online stores usually
have a hard time getting customers since they do not trust them yet. I mean would
you give someone your money especially if it’s hard earned to a stranger? It’s
will be insane for someone to do that. These are the same problems being
encountered in the Ecommerce industry. A lot of online stores are really
receiving the cold shoulders from some of the local online users. Comparing
traditional from conventional shopping is quite easy to determine if we measure
it by reliability.
Of course, if we have tested something that fits our
standards, would we choose something new and untested over them? You get my
point? However, there are also some positives in doing online shopping. Comparing
the two shopping options, if the online store is trusted already, shopping
online gives more benefits. You save time, energy, and money. It’s the most
convenient way to satisfy any customer’s shopping needs. They don’t need to
dress up and go out just to buy something they want. All they need to have is
an Internet connection and Internet capable device. They can even do it right
in their bedroom. What’s also great about online malls is that they are open
almost 24/7. For customers who have unconventional work shift where they are
awake at night and asleep in the morning, this is a perfect fit for them. In
the past, there were no local online stores that can be trusted.
Unlike, malls where there are already a lot of established
mall brands. Good thing that last year, website like Lazada arrived
in the country. Ever since they showed up in the Ecommerce radar. Other local
online stores showed up as well to compete with them. It opened to us a lot of
doors on where to shop. But personally, I prefer Lazada among the rest. Not
because they are an Ecommerce company that was launched and backed by Rocket
Internet, which is globally known for starting up huge Ecommerce business all
throughout the globe. It is because of their overall online shopping service to
the local online customers. They are one of the first online stores that offer
Cash on Delivery or C.O.D., which is an alternative payment method that allows
customers to pay in cash instead. They don’t even require upfront payment like
how a typical online store is setup to a customers which they are required to
pay first before their orders are processed and delivered to their shipping
address.
As for Lazada, it’s exactly the opposite. As long as their
customers select Cash on Delivery as their payment method, customers can order
what they want from their lazada.com.ph website and just leave their shipment
address. They only need to wait for 2-5 days of delivery and pay only after
they receive their orders at their doorsteps. This makes them a more reliable online
mall since customers have the upper hand against Lazada.
