A
lot of people are still very wary in exploring shopping online. For most of
them, it is still an unproven option that many are still testing out. Result
vary depending on the customer when it comes to online shopping. Sometimes,
they encounter bad deals on unworthy online malls. There are also sometimes
when they just had a bad timing leading for them to encounter a very unusual
bad situation. However, it is still undeniable that online shopping is a very
helpful alternative for people in address their shopping needs. These allow
Filipinos to have more option and be in control of their time. They have a
lifestyle that is usually only active at night. These are the customers who
work during at night and are asleep all day.
It is
usually closed mall hours when they are free. Unlike most of us, they can't
visit any malls. Traditional malls are only available during weekends or
holidays. For people who work under these weird schedules, it is really hard
for them to get access on these traditional malls. It's now easier for them now
that online shopping is available for addressing their shopping needs. Most of
the businessmen are now shifting to online business. This only happened last
year in the Philippines. It happened when Lazada Online mall arrived in the
country. They are one of the first online stores to grace the local online
market. They can also be seen in other South East Asia countries.
Ecommerce
quickly rose once they have arrived into the local online scene. They made an
impact on Ecommerce that helped it grow exponentially. Actually, the
competition is very low in the country so it only made sense for them to launch
it here. It's more hard for them on how to tell local online users to check
their lazada.com.ph website. One reason it was hard for them is that local
online users are not optimistic about online payment. They are afraid that they
may be victim of online identity theft. What makes it more alarming for them is
that there are only a few credit cardholders in the country. Ecommerce in
general really had hard time growing in the country because of these
limitations. This does not translate for local online users not being familiar
with online payment.
We
tend to consider the risk only when dealing with online stores. It's only
because we don't give online malls a chance. It's inevitable that we think of
them as scammers online. The issues are the reasons why Ecommerce is a
challenging business in the Philippines. The Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall
came up with a solution to solve these issues that had derailed the growth of
Ecommerce for so long. They introduced Cash on Delivery or C.O.D., which
enables customers to pay in cash instead. Their customers will no longer be
bound to pay right away as they can pay later after they received their actual
orders in real time.
