In the Philippines, online
shopping malls are showing up from nowhere. It is becoming a popular trend that
the online users are even welcoming more since now they have more options to
choose from. The growth of the economy and continuous increase of online users
also plays a big role on why online shopping is a hot online activity nowadays.
It's actually surprising to witness since online shopping is not how it used to
dating back two years ago and online users was never a fan of it. There's a lot
of scams happening both for online and offline in the country. As a result,
transactions online are always reconsidered by everyone in the country. Local
online classified websites were the preferred websites by local online users
when they want to shop.
They contributed in preparing the
local online users for the arrival of online malls in the Philippines. These
top local classifieds online created a marketplace community in online. During
the time local online classified websites didn't exist, local online users
didn't know where to go in online. It is being used by online users as their
measurement in pricing. These allowed online users to stay longer have other
purpose in Internet usage. This online ad websites became a platform for people
who want to buy and sell. Ecommerce was far different from this since its third
party resellers who earns or benefits from it. Buyers and sellers from local
online classifieds usually are dealt with offline. In my own opinion, Group
buying websites also has its fair share for the local online user behavior.
It helped the customers be
prepared in online payment for the arrival of Ecommerce websites in the
country. When Ecommerce websites arrived in the country, they were already
prepared for online deals already. Local online users have a lot to gain than
loss. It was hard to find better deals than what online users found on group
buy websites. A lot of deals are being offered way lower than it is supposed to
by group buy websites, making it harder for customers to ignore. A year ago,
Lazada Online Store arrived in the country. It is only one of the online store
ventures that are available across South East Asia. It is under Rocket Internet
that is owned by the famous Samwer brothers. With their payment methods, Lazada
helped the local Ecommerce in the country.
Their payment method gave
customers option on which payment they find more suiting. Online stores usually
only accept PayPal or credit card payment from their customers. These
conventional online payments are usually the reason customers don't push
through with their orders since they don't any of it. The online payment method
Cash on Delivery helped customers to avail online payment more. It allowed the
untapped market to by tap them in the Philippines. It is the majority of the
local consumer market in the country. This finally helped the Ecommerce grow by
tapping into these markets as well for online.
