Connecting online is as easy as
doing it right at your fingertips. All you need to do is have an Internet
capable device with Internet connection. Making it easy for users to be online
made online shopping a desirable option by most online users nowadays. Not to
mention, there are only a few online malls that were available a couple of
years ago. Lazada is one of the reasons why the online shopping competition got
tighter and Ecommerce started to be a popular option in the Philippines.
Surprisingly, the local industry of Ecommerce in country was really struggling
prior to their arrival.
For short, not all local online
users regarded online shopping as an option to their shopping needs. They
usually buy second hand items at local online classified ads by most local
online users. For customers who want to buy brand new items, they usually go to
traditional malls to buy it. It's no surprise to anyone since traditional
offline malls are usually the place we go to when we want to buy something
growing up. Picking online shopping over offline shopping can save local online
consumers more time and money. How can online shopping actually give us more
benefits? As long as local consumers go with online, they can do it wherever
they please.
Customers will no longer need to
visit location traditional malls saving them money on transport expense. The
Philippines' Online Shopping Mall wanted to fix this for the local online
customers in the country. The goal for them is to actually tap the untapped
market online in the country. Probably because the majority of the Filipinos
are not credit card owners or Paypal account users. It's obvious that we are
not comfortable or very trusting in online transactions. We are actually aware
of the possibility of having online scams and frauds in online shopping. The
industry of Ecommerce in the country is now on the verge of rising as an online
industry. In fairness to Lazada, it only took them over a year to establish
them in the local Ecommerce. 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.
Since Ecommerce in the country is
limited, how did they come up with a solution? An alternative payment was
offered by them called Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. As a matter of fact, most
online stores or malls won't offer this kind of payment method. Any online
business finds this payment method very risky from their end. With Cash on
Delivery or C.O.D., customers don't need to pay right away unlike with other
payment methods were it is required to pay right away. Customers can pay cash
right after their orders are handed over to them during delivery. Customers can
keep the payment up until they have received their orders in real time. This is
to ensure that scams and frauds won't happen if they want to deal with them.
