Lazada Philippines Review: Convincing factors on why shopping online is easier


In the Philippines, it is pretty clear that Internet help made our lives easier and better. It’s basically re-shaped our lifestyle. Think of it this way, can you ask yourselves how much time you actually spent online in a day? I’m pretty sure most of us allot at least a decent time of our day connected. Some even stays connected online 24/7, thanks to their smartphones. Shopping can even be done online nowadays It is much easier for customers since can go for either offline or online shopping. Shopping is no longer a time issue for most of us. They have a lifestyle that is usually only active at night. Probably they are the one set for night shifts in their work. They can visit the mall only during mall hours that it is ironically closed. They just can't visit the malls anytime they want. They can visit traditional malls during the day off at work.

Clearly, this makes them hard for them since they are not living on a normal time shift. Now that they have online shopping as an option, they can shop whenever they want. Most offline businesses are now launching it on the online platform as well. It only started in the country last year in the Philippines. After they arrived in the country, others followed on their footsteps. Actually, they are one of the first online malls to arrive in the country. They are actually a venture that is available in other South East Asia countries. The Philippines' Ecommerce grew significantly after they arrived in the country. The local online scene was never the same again after they arrived. Actually, it's only logical to establish an online mall in the Philippines since there is not much of a competition.

The real challenge for them is how they will convince the local online users to buy from their website  Online payment was just not regarded dearly by local online users that are why it was harder for online malls to turn visitors to customers. It just difficult for online users since they are exposes their credit card and personal information online. Moreover, credit cards are not widely used in the country since a only a fraction of the population possesses it. This is the reason why Ecommerce struggled early on to thrive in the country. It doesn't reflect that they have no idea about online transactions.

The problem with Filipinos is that we don't give them a chance and we overshadow reward with risk. We just find it very hard to trust these online shopping malls. For us, all online malls are just put up to scam local Internet users. These two alone are enough reasons to tell that Ecommerce is really challenging here. Good thing that Lazada came up with a solution to solve both of these issues. Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. was introduced to Lazada' local online customers as their alternative payment method. This allows local online users to pay only after they receive their orders and not upfront, which is the usual setup with online malls.
