Online
malls are starting to grow in numbers in the country. Numerous online malls
were launched in the country and online shopping started to be a popular option
for consumers ever since Lazada arrived in the country. The growth of Ecommerce
in the past was very slow a few years before they arrived in the country. Online
shopping was just not a popular option for most local online users in the past.
Majority of the local online users visit local online classified websites when
they are looking for second hand items. When it comes to seeking brand new
items, local consumers usually visit traditional offline malls. It is expected
from us given that we were raised shopping on traditional offline malls when
want to buy something. Picking online shopping over offline shopping can save
local online consumers more time and money.
How
can online users benefit from doing online shopping instead? Online shopping can be conducted wherever the
customer pleases. It can actually save consumers more money on gas expense
since they don't need to go location of traditional malls. It was an issue that
was long endured by local customers that this online shopping mall wanted to
solve for them. The online community of the country was actually hard to tap by
online malls. Credit cardholders in the country are quite few, which makes it almost
impossible for some customers to pay online. There are still some questions on
the reliability of online transactions. It makes it harder for online users to
be convinced since online scams and frauds are just lurking around over the
Internet. It’s no secret for local online users even for people who don’t go
online pretty often that online scams and frauds happen in online. It’s just
the perception established about online shopping in the Philippines. It started
on scams that happened in local online classified ads were customers pay in
advance via bank deposit only for them to realize later on that their orders
won’t arrive and that they have been scammed.
The
Ecommerce industry is now getting recognized in the local online platform. In
fairness to the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall, it only took them an over a
year to establish themselves in the local Ecommerce. They even showed up on TVC
at top local channels during their primetime to show how credible they are to
their customers. They formulated a solution in order to break the Ecommerce
silence in the country. They introduced Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. as an
alternative payment method to their customers. It's a payment method that is
not just offered typically by online malls. This is a risky payment method for
any online business owners. This particular payment method doesn’t require
online customers to pay right away. They will only need to pay cash once they
received their orders in real time. Customers will be satisfied to know that
they won't be scammed since they can keep their money up until their order
arrived at their home. Their intention is tell their customers that shopping on
their mall won't lead them to be scammed.
