Lazada Philippines Review: Shopping online made it simpler to shop for customers


For each year that goes by, the more technology gets sophisticated and powerful. It is the reason why our Internet demands gets higher as well since these two are usually linked to one another. It is more of a marriage relationship to be precise talking about Internet and technology relation. The Ecommerce industry for instance took full advantage of this relationship by using it to reach the market of the online population. Shopping is something that people look for and they made it available in online to make it easier for them and faster.

Online shopping phenomenon in the country just keeps on growing every day. Online users actually didn't find online shopping reliable a couple of years ago. One of the reasons is that we have a high fraud rate for both offline and online in the Philippines. This is why online transactions are not highly trusted by the local online users in the country. What was closest considered in Ecommerce was local online classified websites. This helped the Ecommerce industry prepared the local online users for online malls.

An online marketplace was eventually created because of their online presence. When people want to buy something online, they didn't have option yet when local online classifieds didn't exist yet. For users looking to buy an item, they turn to these websites for pricing comparison. These expanded how online users can be fully maximized.  It was a venue for buy and sell local online audience. The difference between them and Ecommerce is that it is third party resellers who gain from the traffic. Final deal still happen offline most of the time.

It's the same concept with group buying websites. They showed the way for the Ecommerce websites in the country. The local online users were already prepared with online payment but the time Ecommerce websites arrived in the Philippines. One reason why online shopping was ever considered is because they can gain more than what they are risk. Group buy websites showcased great deals that can't be found from others. Their offer or deals are so enticing the any local online customer will have a problem to avoid these group buy websites. It was a year ago when website like Lazada arrived in the Philippines. It is an online store venture available in South East Asia.

It is backed by the Samwer brothers who own Rocket Internet. Lazada Online Mall made an impact in Ecommerce thru their flexible payment methods. Their payment methods featured different payments that allow online customers which suit them best. Credit cards and PayPal are usually the online payment method accepted by most online stores. Conventional online payments like these, only limits the customers in availing what they want. They were one of the first online malls to offer Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. as a alternative form of payment method. The payment method allowed Lazada online store to tap the untapped market in the Philippines. In the country, it is the majority of the population. Moreover, by tapping on this market, the Ecommerce have grown exponentially
