It was really amazing to see how fast the
Philippines online shopping store Lazada has turned things around. Right before
their touchdown on Philippine shores, the best that our e-commerce industry can
come up with are online marketplace websites that are like swap meets where
people gather together to sell their wares online. The company opened up the
doors to a whole new market giving it an exciting new twist. Lazada brought a
brand new way of doing online shopping that is entirely different than what a
lot of people has gotten used to. This way of online shopping is the online
retail method of shopping wherein there is only one seller which is of course
the company as opposed to the flea market style that gathers online sellers and
buyers to do their transactions online. There are a lot of positive things that
this type of selling has brought to a lot of people. The following are the
positive effects of Lazada to the Philippine e-commerce:
Ease
of use and convenience – the company has made
online shopping a lot more convenient and a helluva lot easier than the online
market place way of shopping. By making the customers deal with the company
direct as opposed to dealing with individual people, they made transactions
easier and more convenient. The deliveries are centralized and customers are
given the ability to track them by calling the customer service hotline unlike
how it is when you are dealing with an individual person or private seller in
which there looms a threat and a risk that he or she might not comply with your
agreed terms or might not show up on the designated meet up place. These
complications were eliminated by the company so the customer can just focus on
getting what he wants and the pure pleasure and joy that online shopping can
offer.
Safe
payment methods – the company offers practical ways
to pay for the goods they offer online. They are the cash on delivery service
and of course you got the credit card payment method which is a default payment
method for most shopping companies. The good thing about Lazada is that their
credit card payment method is as safe as it could be with their state of the
art and updated data encryption technology along with PCI-DSS certification
which guarantees that the company is compliant with the latest online data
security protocols. Their cash on delivery payment system is also a fresh take
on an old method of payment. With the cash on delivery payment system, there is
only one thing that the customer needs to worry about. That is placing their
order.
Lazada
dilutes the competition – the company’s brand of
high level customer service improved the current standards of the local
e-commerce market. Their high level of service inspired other local e-commerce
companies to step their game up as well to keep up with Lazada’s ground
breaking performance. That kind of healthy competition amongst online retail
stores ensures that consumers get a lot of quality options.
The company definitely raised the bar of
local online shopping and the e-commerce industry and that is absolutely a
positive thing.
