Ecommerce truly changed how
Internet is being used today by most of the local online users. They made
Internet more than just a platform to communicate globally and to gather
worldwide coverage of information in a snap. This shift on online user behavior
is actually a good thing for us. Internet has become more valuable in our lives
more than ever as we do most of our activities online. Actually, the trend in
online nowadays is online shopping, which is currently on the rise in the
Philippines. A lot of us never envision online shopping as an accepted option
dating a couple of years back. The rate in the Philippines both offline and
online is off the roof in the country. In the end, this made online transaction
the least option to many local online users. Local online classified websites
were the premiere local website for most local online users in the buy and sell
industry.
The arrival of local online malls
in the country was actually prepared by these local online classifieds. They
started the marketplace community in the country. It made it hard for local
online users to buy what they want online when local online classifieds did not
exist yet. It was to check the industry price value of items that users want to
buy. It slowly showed how Internet be diversify by online users to maximize its
purpose. It was a venue for buy and sell local online audience. It's very
different from Ecommerce since local online users deal with third party
resellers. Third party resellers and buyers usually do offline transactions.
Local online users made an impact
to local online users. They guided the
people for the arrival of Ecommerce in the country. By the time of Ecommerce
website launching, local online users were already prepared. People consider
online shopping since the risk is way lower than the reward. Group buy website
offered unconventional better deals to local online users. Their prices were
way below the SRP that customers will have a hard time to pass. A year ago, the
Lazada Online Mall was launched in the Philippines. It is an online store
venture available in South East Asia. It is backed by the Samwer brothers and
is under the Rocket Internet umbrella. Lazada influenced the Ecommerce industry
with its various online payment methods.
With so many payment methods
available, this allowed online customers to be in control. In online, it’s
usually only credit card or PayPal payment is allowed by online stores. The
conventional way of online payment is actually hard for most local customers
since they don't have either of the two conventional payment methods online.
They first introduced Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. to their customers. This made the untapped market a reachable
market audience in the Philippines. This is actually the majority market or
audience in the country. It has helped Ecommerce thrive more than ever with the
tapping of this huger market in the Philippines.
