Showing their worth to the online consumers


Internet is starting grow at a rapid rate in the country nowadays. More people are connecting online with the penetration of the smartphone market. These allows local online users to stay longer than how they were when it was only computer that exclusively allows them to connect online, With the arrival of Lazada in the country, local online competitors showed up while the online shopping popularity started to rise. Surprisingly, the local industry of Ecommerce in country was really struggling prior to their arrival. For most local online users, online shopping is not highly considered option for them. As for the majority of the local online users, whenever they want to buy second hand items they usually go to local online classified ads. 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. Time and money can actually be saved if only local consumers choosing online shopping over traditional offline shopping. How can online shopping actually give us more benefits? If local consumers opt for online shopping, they can do wherever and whenever they want. Money spends on usual travel expense going to the location of traditional malls can now be saved by customers.

This online mall actually wanted to solve this issue for local online consumers in the Philippines. They were also facing an issue on how they can also tap the untapped market in online. Non-credit cardholders populate the population of the country, which is why only few can pay online. It's quite hard for the local online consumers to trust online deals right away. It makes it harder for online users to be convinced since online scams and frauds are just lurking around over the Internet. Good thing that Ecommerce now is starting to grow in the Philippines. It's actually amazing to see that the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall is making an impact on Ecommerce and is rapidly reaching success with their year of tenure, which is a remarkable feat for them.

One proof to realize that they are as legit as they can be is they can be seen on TVC during primetime from top local TV networks in the country. So how did they solve this Ecommerce barrier in the Philippines? They called Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. It’s very rare for an online store to actually offer this kind of alternative payment method offered an alternative payment method. From an online business owner's point, it is very risky on their part. It is payment method that allows online users to pay only after they receive their orders. Customers can do cash payments once they delivers their orders at their home. 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. This is to eradicate the way of thinking of local online users about online malls as scams.
