Lazada: Changing the situation in online


We all have been amazed how the Internet makes our lives much easier prior to its arrival. This had tremendously made everything possible at the power of your fingertips. It makes our lives way easier than the usual such as shopping. Moreover, online shopping is a great alternative for us in addressing our shopping needs. Time won't matter anymore for people who want to shop at their discretion. Their lifestyle is just not fit for shopping during regular hours. Usually, these are the people who work on night shift. They are usually not free when malls are open, which is a pain for their situation. Traditional malls are just not available for them. They only visit traditional malls during their day off at work. This is clearly harder for people who work on different time schedule. It makes it easier for them nowadays since they now have online shopping.

Most offline businesses are now being made available to online as well. It has only begun to expand last year in the country. I strongly believe it happened when Lazada arrived in the country. They are actually one of the first online malls established in the country. Some South East Asia countries also have Lazada on their country. Ecommerce reached popularity in the country when they came in, as compared to the previous years, which is prior to their arrival. The local online scene was never the same again after they arrived. Since the competition is lesser compared to other country, it's only natural to have it launched in the country. Their challenge is how they will lure Internet users to visit their online mall. Paying online is a very difficult for most online users that's why it hard for them to lure them on their website. What makes it difficult for them is that their credit card and personal information are exposed online. Actually, credit cards are not widely used in the country. Majority of the population rather prefer to pay in cash and conduct actual exchange in transaction.

This is why Ecommerce never took off early since customers have limited payment options. It doesn't mean that customers have no clue about online payment. We don't give online malls a second chance since we consider risk and disregard reward right away. Most of the time, we just ignore online malls probably because we are new to it. For us, all online malls are just put up to scam local Internet users. This combination can easily tell to investors that it will be hard to penetrate the local market.  The Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall came out with something to solve these Ecommerce woes that plagued the country for so long. The Philippines' Online Shopping Mall finally introduced Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. in online. Unlike other online malls, this won't require customers to pay right away. As long as customers are guaranteed of their money it can be easy for any online store to convince customers to try their website.
