I’m pretty sure
most of you didn’t expect the online usage would go this far. Initially, local
online users to gather information to their probable thesis or work deadline
mainly used it. It actually changed how we see online shopping nowadays. Most
of us have embraced their existence and have already tried it out. For those
who haven’t tried online shopping, you are honestly missing a lot of great
opportunities and discounts. The trend in online nowadays is online shopping,
which is currently on the rise in the Philippines. This was actually difficult
for online users to accept going a couple of years ago. It's actually expected
since the rate of fraud in the country is high both in online and offline. It
made online users shy away from even considering online transaction. Local
online classified ads were the website closest to Ecommerce but more on the buy
and sell industry.
The arrival of
local online malls in the country was actually prepared by these local online
classifieds. They eventually created a marketplace community in the local
online scene. It was difficult for online users to buy online when local online
classified websites didn't exist yet. Users go to these websites mainly to get
an idea about market price of what they want to buy. Its purpose was stretch to
new lengths and allowed Internet to be more than what it used to for customers.
It was a venue for buy and sell local online audience. The local traffic is
actually dealing with third party resellers and the website itself.
Transactions are
usually done offline. Group buying websites also influenced the local online
users. They showed the steps for the arrival of the Ecommerce industry. By the
time of Ecommerce website launching, local online users were already prepared.
The fact that local online users have more to gain in online shopping pushed
them in trying online shopping. Great deals were mostly found on group by
websites by local online users. Their deals were outstanding lower prices that
any local online user would have a hard time refusing. Lazada Philippines
was launched a year ago in the country. It is an online store venture available
in South East Asia. It is venture under the Rocket Internet umbrella that is
owned by the famous Samwer brothers. The Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall made
an impact in Ecommerce through their various payment methods. The online
payment methods they offer provide customers to be in control.
Online malls
usually only allow credit card or PayPal as the accepted form of payment in
online. The conventional way of online payment is actually hard for most local
customers since they don't have either of the two conventional payment methods
online. They actually offered Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. as an alternative
payment to their customers. It allowed them to tap the untapped market online
in the Philippines. It is actually the majority of the population in the
country. Since the entire market is now open in Internet, it definitely helped
Ecommerce thrive in the country.
