Online shopping has been around
dating back the early 2000. It may have not been available worldwide
immediately. But other countries were already able to enjoy its benefits. For
almost a decade, online shopping in the Philippines struggled to make an impact
to the local online users. It was only a couple of years ago when it made a
positive stride in the local online market. It was actually the same time were
the country was rising in the economy. Business side, it is actually the
perfect opportunity to enter the market. So it did. Lazada is one of the
reasons why the online shopping competition got tighter and Ecommerce started
to be a popular option in the Philippines.
The growth of Ecommerce in the
past was very slow a few years before they arrived in the country. The local
online users never thought of online shopping as their alternative option in
shopping in the past. For second hand items, local online users visit online
classified websites to buy to what they are looking for. Conventionally, customers
prefer to go on traditional mall when they want to purchase something brand
new. It can't be helped since it is part of our culture to visit traditional
malls when we want to address our shopping needs. Choosing online shopping can
save the local online customers some time and money. So what can we get from
online shopping? Shopping online is way easier as you can do it from wherever
you are. Customers are no longer required to go to traditional offline malls
saving them more money on the usual gas expense.
The Philippines' Online Shopping
Mall wanted to fix this for the local online customers in the country. The
online community of the country was actually hard to tap by online malls. Not
being able to pay online since most of the populations are credit cardholders
at all. It's also no secret that most of us find online transactions
unreliable. It is most like due to the fact that we are aware of the existence
of online frauds and scams. Good thing that Ecommerce now is starting to grow
in the Philippines. It's quite an amazing feat for Lazada Philippines
to achieve what they achieved on Ecommerce in less than a year.
To prove that they are legit
online mall, they were seen on TVC on top local channels at primetime. So how
did they end up breaking the limitations that plagued the Ecommerce industry
before? A new alternative payment method in online was introduced by them
called Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. As a matter of fact, most online stores or malls
won't offer this kind of payment method. This is a risky payment method for any
online business owners. Payments are not usually required right away with
payment method. Their online customers can pay after they have received their
orders in real time. No need for customers to worry since they get to keep
their money up until they receive their orders. This is to eradicate the way of
thinking of local online users about online malls as scams.
