Online shopping is making it
easier for customers to make their shopping woes go away. Who wouldn’t want to
shop right on their home from whenever and wherever they are. Shopping is made
convenient for everyone and right at our fingertips. Evidently, their impact on
their arrival isn’t shocking and its continuous rise is just expected as more
online users are shifting to this alternative shopping option. This was
actually difficult for online users to accept going a couple of years ago. It's
actually expected since the rates of frauds in the country are high both in
online and offline. This made online transactions unattractive for most local
online users. This made local online classified websites as the top websites
that local online user visit when they want to buy something. Local online
classified websites pave way to the Ecommerce's arrival in the Philippines. A
marketplace community was eventually born thanks to these local online
classifieds.
It was actually tough to seek
items you want online when these local online classified websites were not yet
available. It was to check the industry price value of items that users want to
buy. This eventually helped revolutionize on how online users behave for
shopping ideas. A lot of small business used this buy and sell platform. This
was very different from Ecommerce since it is being populated of sellable items
care of third party resellers or suppliers. Offline transactions are usually
conducted by third party resellers on these kinds of websites. Group buying
websites also had the same influence on the local online users. Customers were
prepared for online payment by these websites for the coming of Ecommerce
websites in the Philippines.
At the time that Ecommerce
websites arrived in the country, local online users were already prepared.
Online shopping was still considered since the reward customer's will get beats
the risk. It was hard for local online users to get greater deals being offered
by group buy websites. Their prices were way below the SRP that customers will
have a hard time to pass. Lazada Philippines was launched in the country last
year. An online mall ventures available across South East Asia. The Samwer
brothers own this venture under their German based company Rocket Internet.
Lazada significantly helped the local Ecommerce in the Philippines through
their diverse payment methods.
These online payment methods help
customers decide which is more suiting on their payment capabilities. Customers
are only allowed to pay via credit card or PayPal by most online malls. These
conventional online payments restrict customers to avail what they want since
most of us don't have our own credit card or PayPal account. Lazada introduced
Cash on Delivery or simply known as C.O.D. as new way to pay online. The
untapped market in the past can now be tapped with their offering of this
payment method. This is actually the majority market or audience in the
country. Now that it has been tapped, it allowed the Ecommerce industry to
further grow.
