Lazada Philippines Review: Continuous drive towards e-commerce progress


An online shopping website’s effects to an e-commerce economy can be evaluated in a variety of ways. The approach can be done from coming from different directions with a lot of factors that can be considered and looked into. That is what the online shopping website lazada.com.ph/  is all about, it is a multi-faceted company that has done and created a lot of good things for the local e-commerce industry  affecting it positively in general and on a grander perspective. Looking closely at what this online shopping company has contributed to the online shopping and e-commerce industry, it is very good to know that it is not a company that is just after the profit but rather make a positive indelible dent on the commercial viability of e-commerce. 

This company introduced a lot of innovations that changed the game and status of e-commerce in the country and has brought the standards to a level where it could allow facilitate progress and improvement. There are specific areas of local online shopping that the company has contributed positively on and here they are:

World class online shopping locally – When you shop and look around the Lazada web page, you’ll know the difference off hand and realize that this is not the regular local online shopping website. It gives one the feeling of shopping in an international online shopping site. The way things are done in the company, the way the customers are being treated and the overall quality of customer service that they offer make them a step ahead of the pack and it sure help to bring the idea and concept of online shopping to the consciousness of the masses. 

The big and primary contributor to that overall international feel despite it being local is the fact that the website was developed and created by the world’s foremost international online venture builder called Rocket-Internet based out of Berlin Germany. This online venture builder and internet business incubator has been developing portfolio companies for more than a decade now and has created more than 100 portfolio companies all over the world. They brought other top –notch online shopping websites to the local arena such as the fashion focused online shopping website Zalora which I have also shopped at several times. Their presence is not limited to Asia alone as they have also a huge presence in other emerging economies as well as developed ones such as Australia, Canada, Germany and many others. Their presence in Southeast Asia is not just confined to the Philippines but Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam as well.

Availability of online shopping for everyone – Lazada is one of the first few local online shopping companies that opened the doors of e-commerce to the general population. The company successfully captured a huge chunk of the consumer market by providing payment services that are conducive to the payment capabilities of local online shopping patrons. They came up with the cash on delivery payment method that made online shopping a very easy activity to do comparable to regular shopping in traditional stores and shops. 

Lazada is continuously progressing and it takes the local economy along with and contributes to the betterment of the overall e-commerce industry.
