Lazada Philippines: A simple and relaxing way of doing shopping

Compared to before, shopping requires us to go to traditional malls to buy their. What we fail to realize is that we used up most of our energy, time and money by just traveling into their location. Although conventional shopping is already part of our lifestyle and most of us don’t mind since we are so accustomed to it, it can’t be helped to notice that there are some who are looking for other ways to shop. It was always a good thing if Filipinos have alternative on traditional shopping such as online shopping. Time won't matter anymore for people who want to shop at their discretion. Their schedules are just very unusual compared to most people. These are the consumers who don't have time in the morning since they work at night. Their lifestyle is unusual since they are only free when malls are actually closed.

They are unable to visit malls when they please unlike most people. These customers can only visit traditional mall when they are off from their work or business. It is way complicated for them compared to people who work on a normal time shift. Now that they have online shopping as an option, they can shop whenever they want. Most of the businessmen are now shifting to online business. Actually, this only started last year in the Philippines. Once Lazada arrived in the country, other online malls followed them. They are one of the first online shopping mall in the Philippines. They are made available in other South East Asia countries.

The Ecommerce industry really grew when they arrived in the country compared to the days when Lazada wasn't around yet at that time. Actually, their impact on Ecommerce can't be disregarded. Since there is no competition in the local online scene, it made sense for their move to launch it in the country. They are actually facing a problem on how they will convince the local online users to try their store. Online payment was just not regarded dearly by local online users. It is why it was harder for online malls to turn visitors to customers. They are afraid that they may be victimizing of online identity theft.

What makes it challenging is that majority of the population are not credit card owners. These have slowed down the growth of Ecommerce in the Philippines. It doesn't mean local online users are not familiar with online payment. It's quite hard for customers to not focus on risk before looking on the reward that lies ahead. It's just plain and simple; we don't trust online malls right away. Online malls for us are all scams, which is sad. It's pretty clear that these two alone makes Ecommerce a tough market to crack. These Ecommerce woes were solved by Lazad when they arrived in the country. Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. was introduced to Lazada' local online customers as their alternative payment method. Their customers will no longer be bound to pay right away as they can pay later after they received their actual orders in real time.
