Lazada Review: When shopping on traditional malls is very tiring, go for online shopping!


So what are our options when it comes to addressing our shopping needs? It used to be traditional malls were we shop. Problem there is that we waste money on travel expense, time on travel time and energy from walking the mall while checking each boutique. Now we have alternative for us not to go through this shopping woes – online shopping! Online shopping only started to spread and competitors came out from nowhere after Lazada Online Mall was launched in the country. Actually, Ecommerce was a struggling in the industry prior to their arrival in the country. Local online users initially looked down upon online shopping as an alternative option for addressing their shopping needs. The local online users are more open in dealing at local online classified websites when they want to buy second hand items. Usually, local consumers visit traditional offline malls when they want purchase something that is brand new. It is expected from us given that we were raised shopping on traditional offline malls when want to buy something. In online shopping, we fail to realize that we can actually save our time and money.

So what can we get from online shopping? They can do online shopping wherever they find most suiting for them. Expenses can go down since local consumers won't need to spend travel expense on going to traditional offline malls. Lazada actually wanted to solve this issue for local online consumers in the Philippines. It was difficult for online malls to tap the local online market of the country. The online market in the country was hard to penetrate since majority of the population can't pay online due to most of them not have their own credit card. It's just that we also don't trust so easily especially when it involves money transactions. Majority of us are informed about online frauds and scams that other people encounter when dealing in online. The Ecommerce industry is now getting recognized in the local online platform. To see the progress of Lazada online mall making an impact on the local Ecommerce is quite amazing.

To prove that they are a legit online mall, they were seen on TVC on top local channels at primetime. How were they able to come up with a solution to break the Ecommerce limitation in the Philippines? They first introduced Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. as an alternative payment method. It's very rare for an online store to actually offer this kind of alternative payment method. The reason behind is that not all online business will risk their business for this payment method. Online customers can pay later after they receive their orders with this alternative payment method. What's great about this is that customers will only pay once they receive their orders. Their customers won't need to worry since they get to keep their money until their orders are delivered. Their intention is tell their customers that shopping on their mall won't lead them to be scammed.
