Lazada Philippines Review: An Internet savvy world and online shopping


I’m sure most of you at least spend an hour of your time online daily. Connecting online is pretty common nowadays. It doesn’t hurt that the arrival of smartphones paved way further in making online users easily connected online whenever and wherever they are. A lot of us actually start our day checking news feeds on our mobile and emails as well. This just shows that we are living in an Internet savvy generation. The arrival of online malls in the country also made our will to stay connected online much longer since it is more convenient for us. Admittedly, it's really great that we now have online shopping as an alternative way for shopping. The local consumers get an upper hand since time of availability won't matter anyone. These are the people who work during unusual hours. 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 really have a hard time visiting traditional malls. Traditional malls are only available during weekends or holidays. It's more complicated for these consumers unlike if they work on a normal time shift. It's better now for them since they have online shopping as an option. Currently, we are no going online where you see a lot of offline businesses migrating to it. It only started to rise last year in the Philippines. By the time Lazada had arrived in the country, their competitors showed up from nowhere. They are actually one of the first online malls established 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 market was influenced dearly by their arrival. The local online scene has no competition so it only made sense to launch it in the country. What i very challenging for them is how they can tell the local Internet users to visit their online mall. Turning online visitors to online customers were hard primarily because online payment is not highly regarded. It is because exposing our credit card details online is quite dangerous. Actually, only a small ratio in the population has their own credit cards in the Philippines.

It slowed down the Ecommerce growth in the country. It doesn't mean that customers have no clue about online payment. 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. We judge them immediately as a scam websites. It is what makes Ecommerce very hard to penetrate for online businesses. These two Ecommerce problems in the country were single handedly solved by the Philippines' Online Shopping Mall. These online malls offered their customers Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. as their alternative payment method. No longer will customers be required to pay upfront only until they actually receive their orders once it is delivered at their very homes.
