Lazada: No more worries in online shopping

Individuals depend on online stores that will give them the best web shopping experience. To think we have just only begun in establishing Ecommerce in the Philippines. Going a few years back, shopping online wasn't highly regarded yet in the country. It's due to the fact that we don't like it but because online malls were nowhere to be found in the past. It all changed when Lazada was launched in selected countries of South East Asia. Besides Philippines, they are available in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.  They are actually under Rocket Internet's Umbrella. It is a huge Ecommerce Startup company in Germany. Their business had one simple business model. They just clone already existing successful business models and launch it on countries where it doesn't exist yet.

Since Lazada's arrival in the country, it allowed Filipinos to finally try online shopping. We got used to visiting traditional mall when we want to shop. There's actually a chance that we inherited it from our parents. The lifestyle they showed was simply copied by us as we were growing up. With the evolution of Internet and technology, it made our lifestyle far easier. Nowadays, we have two options to address our shopping needs: one offline and the other is online. Online malls like Lazada are reliable than its competitors. They are actually the one to introduce Cash on Delivery payment method from an online mall. It made online shopping possible to the local online users. This allows any online customers to pay in cash to them if unable to pay online the conventional way. No need to worry about getting scammed online since they offer COD. Customers can just leave their preferred shipment address without paying right away. They will just bill their customers as they receive it. Customers can inspect before accepting their orders and pay. Only the can offer this kind of option to their customers. This gives their customers a clear advantage in this industry.  It just shows that they want to bring the best online shopping experience in the Philippines. Just to prove then can be trusted they are willing to risk a lot. As long as they can convince or shed some proof to the local online customers that they are as legit they can be.

Sadly, this was the only way for them to penetrate the local online market. The industry is just not easy to be trusted by most of us since were just not used to this kind of shopping method. As we all know not everyone is enthusiastic about change. More so for people who are limited to avail such service. Based from the facts and their overall package, it is safe to say that they want to provide us the proper online shopping service that other countries have enjoyed for the past years now. To make it even better for their customers, they also offered free delivery availability to orders that will exceed one thousand pesos in beyond.
