Lazada: Shopping is changing as we know it!

Shopping nowadays can be done more than the normal like shopping on traditional malls offline. Rather than go with traditional shopping, which is offline, it's good to know that we can also avail online shopping. Time won't matter anymore for people who want to shop at their discretion. To them, nighttime for them is their daytime to us. These are consumers who are asleep at daytime and are at work during nighttime. They can visit the mall only during mall hours that it is ironically closed. It's really hard for them to visit traditional malls as they please.

They only visit these traditional malls when they have no work. For people who work under this weird schedule, it’s really hard for them to get access on these traditional malls. It actually benefits them now that online shopping is an available option. Offline businesses are now stretching their reach in online. It has only begun to expand last year in the country. Once Lazada arrived in the country, other online malls followed them. The Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall is one of the first online malls in the country to serve our local online users. This online mall is also available in other South East Asia countries. The Philippines' Ecommerce grew significantly after they arrived in the country. It's easy to say that they influenced the Ecommerce industry for its rapid growth. Competition in the local Ecommerce industry was really low that it made sense for their arrival in the country.

It's more hard for them on how to tell local online users to check their lazada.com.ph website. Local online users were hard to convert to online customers since online payment is no easy task for them. This is actually hard for online users as their credit card details might get exposed. Actually, credit cards are not widely used in the country. This had slowed down the growth of Ecommerce in the Philippines. It doesn't mean that the local Internet users are unaware of online transactions. With online malls, we usually look to their risk rather than the reward that may come. We just find it very hard to trust these online shopping malls. First thing that comes to our mind is that it is only a scam for us. This makes online shopping very hard to penetrate just basing on these two issues. They came up with a solution to solve these issues that had derailed the growth of Ecommerce for so long.

Their C.O.D. or Cash on Delivery alternative payment method as introduced to the local online users. Customers can pay only after their orders have arrived and are handed over to them with this payment method. This payment method solidified their credibility to their current and upcoming customers. To top it off, they still look for ways on how they can further maximize the payment flexibility of their customers. They also offer payment via installment and even re-offered PayPal payment. Just recently, they even tied up with MegaLink.
