Most of us have
been addicted to be connected online. It used to be just an option for us that
converted to become a necessity in our daily living. A lot of the reasons might
be numerous offline activities becoming available in online as well. One good example
is having the option to shop on online from anywhere and whenever customers
would like.
As a matter of
fact, online shopping is now a rising trend in the country now that it has
become popular to the local online users. Believe it or not, this wasn't the
case a few years ago; people were hesitant in online shopping. Most of us are
aware that we have a high frauds and scams in the country for both online and
offline. Moreover, this is the reason why many do not consider online
transaction. What was closest considered
in Ecommerce was local online classified websites.
Local classified
websites helped prepare the arrival of local online malls. These top local
classifieds online created a marketplace community in online. It was actually
tough to seek items you want online when these local online classified websites
were not yet available. It has become a venue for online users to check the
price of the item they want before visiting malls. These allowed online users
to stay longer have other purpose in Internet usage. A lot of small business
used this buy and sell platform.
The difference
between them and Ecommerce is that it is third party resellers who gain from
the traffic. Customers do Offline transactions most of the time. Customers also
encounter this same kind of setup with group buying websites. They showed the
way for the Ecommerce websites in the country. In the Philippines, local online
users were already familiar by the local Ecommerce websites were launched.
Local online users have a lot to gain than loss. It was hard for local online
users to get greater deals being offered by group buy websites. The offered
deals of group buy websites were so great that it will be hard for customers to
not try them out.
A year ago, Lazada
Online Store arrived in the country. An online mall ventures available
across South East Asia. The Samwer brothers who own Rocket Internet back it. By
offering various payment methods, the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall helped
the Ecommerce grow in the country. The payment methods being offered by them
allow their customers to select whom they prefer the best for them. Credit
cards and PayPal are usually the online payment method accepted by most online
stores. This hampers the customers in availing the items they want since they
are limited in paying online the conventional way. The online payment method
Cash on Delivery helped customers to avail online payment more. The untapped
market in the past can now be tapped with their offering of this payment
method. Actually, the majority of the local market is this one in the
Philippines. This finally helped the Ecommerce grow by tapping into this market
as well for online.
