Looking back on how I first
learned to use Internet, I never imagined that online shopping will take a huge
dive in the online industry this way. This truly helped online users to gain
access of information whether it may be global and or from local resources. Unlike
websites nowadays, websites then were just plain and very dull. Content of
websites during the early day were just pure text-based. A lot of the online
users will be leaving websites right away if they see how websites were
structured during those times. When the Internet started to hit mainstream,
website's design and functionality also upgraded along with it. It was only
last year when online shopping arrived in the country and made it very interesting
since it is already available in other countries dating back to the early
2000s. When online shopping arrived in the country, online users didn't find it
as a credible option for them.
It really gave the local
Ecommerce industry a hard time on how they will penetrate the local online
market. When online mall like Lazada arrived in the country, it is only when
Ecommerce started to grow. Some of the online users didn't even know that they
are an online mall initially. Company name they used does not exactly translate
as an online mall. Most of the people claimed or projects that they won't
succeed on their Ecommerce penetration in the country. They offered an
alternative payment solution called Cash on Delivery or C.O.D., which solves
the current Ecommerce woes that plagued the local industry for the longest
time. Anyone can now go visit their website and become customers regardless of
their capability to pay the conventional online way or not. Customers can pay
in cash instead and not worry if they have their own credit card or PayPal
account, which is the conventional way in paying online.
They online need an Internet
connection and go straight their online mall website. They can just leave their
shipment address once they are finished selecting which products or items they
would order. This payment method does not require their customers to pay
upfront like how it is usually when it comes to online transactions. Shopping
online conventionally requires their customers to pay upfront before orders are
pushed through. They allow later payment for their customers as long as they
select Cash on Delivery as their payment method. Payments can be hold until the
customer orders arrived at their very homes.
No longer does our past Ecommerce
woes an issue since it is solved with this option alone. This setup allows them
to be trusted almost immediately by local online customers. This is pretty easy
for any customer to realize that they are confident with the deal if they are
not required to pay right away. As long as they shop on their website, anyone
is welcome to become their customers. In case any of the customer's orders
don't push through, they can easily shop on another mall. It is safe to claim
that his online mall have the disadvantage on this kind of a setup. It proves
that they are here to show their customers that they can be trusted unlike
other online stores. It is more than just selling their items to their local
online customers. They want to ensure
that online shopping becomes an accepted option for the local online users when
it comes to addressing their shopping needs.
