Trusting online shopping is now easy

Online shopping is starting to unfold in Asia and the online users are starting to grow at an exponential rate. This gives online business more opportunity since the market share is growing. However, the Ecommerce industry is quite challenging South East Asia for any investors or business owners in the early 2000. The capable to pay online market audience were actually still very low at that time. Among the online population, only a few of them possess their own credit card. As for the minority credit card owners, not all of them are willing to pay via online. Given that online frauds and scams are everywhere online, it's only normal that it's the reaction from the online market. It's usually harder for online business to get more credibility compared to traditional offline business.

We often get a feeling that dealing offline face-to-face is much better than not seeing whom you are dealing with in online. However, we are overlooking other legit online stores who offer better deals. Since online malls don't store rental fee, they usually offer lower priced items. Online malls regularly offer great discounts that give them edge to customers. In order for them to convert offline customers to online, they really needed to offer those kinds of deals. Website like Lazada PH is one of those online stores in South East Asia. In the Philippines, they are one of the first offer enormous selections that are parallel to what offline mall offers. This online mall first introduced Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. to the local online customers. This payment method actually helped them catapult to one of the leading players in the online industry.

They already received glorious achievements despite just celebrating their first year last April. Upon their arrival on the country, that's when their competitors showed one by one. This just proves that they opened the eyes of businessmen about the potential of Ecommerce in the country. On how far online shopping will be part of our lives? Time will only tell for now. With this mall's unusual approach in the local market, they managed to win the customer's side. With the availability of Cash on Delivery or more known as C.O.D. payment method, they were now able to tap customers that can’t pay in credit card or Paypal.

The market audience increased n volume since anyone can order and pay in cash On top of that; they even offer possible free delivery as long as the transaction value exceeds one thousand pesos. Shipment fee of the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall will be shouldered as long as the overall transaction value of their customers is one thousand pesos and up. By combining Free Delivery and Cash on Delivery, it entices customers to pick online shopping rather than go for traditional shopping. Any online customer won’t have a hard time figuring out on whether to try online shopping or not since the risk is not that high compared to conventional online stores in that past. It is easier to trust an online store with this kind of setup.
