Lazada Online Mall: Providing Great Contributions to the Local E-Commerce Industry

There is no doubt that internet shopping sites abound nowadays. There are a lot of them to choose from so picking a reliable option can be a difficult task. Fortunately for me, I have found a shopping buddy that I can trust—lazada.com.ph.

I have been frequenting this site for quite some time now. And I must admit, it never fell short of impressing me. There is always something new to look forward to with Lazada. It has proven time and again that it is at the forefront in terms of providing the latest and the best products and service to its ever-growing pool of customers.

With that, it is not surprising that it is recognized as the Philippines’ online shopping mall. And barely a year after it commenced its operations in the country, it has also been awarded as the Best Online Department Store in the recently concluded Golden Globe Annual Awards for Business Excellence.

But aside from providing the latest and hottest items, there is definitely more to this site. In fact, it has given valuable contributions that helped boost the local e-commerce industry. Here are some of them.

Reliable online shopping partner for the Filipinos

First of all, it is has provided a reliable online shopping partner for the Filipino consumers. This in turn, boosted consumer confidence in terms of buying things via the internet. The fact is, internet shopping was not really a fad in the country in the past. But thanks to the existence and operation of reliable online shopping sites like Lazada, more and more local consumers are convinced to purchase things via the World Wide Web.

This is actually based from my own experience, as well as that of a lot of my family and friends. At first, we were scared to try online shopping because of the “horror stories” of other consumers who were victimized by cyber attackers or sub-quality products and service. But with this site, we never had any problems and we always get the best value for our money.

Home for the local brands

 Still another contribution of this site is that it serves as a home for locally produced products and brands. As I browse through the site, I see local books, movies, music and even mobile phones and tablets. There are actually a number of them. An example of which appears in the screen grab on the left. These are locally produced mobile phones and tablets which are sold in the site.

More so, Lazada is looking for affiliates as well. Thus, it opens doors of money making opportunities for the local online entrepreneurs and freelancers who need a full time or part time job.

This is actually a very rare opportunity. In fact, this is the only large internet shopping site I have encountered which provides such a much needed break to the local entrepreneurs. This is extremely valuable given the wide customer base this site has, as well as the stiff competition from the international brands which still dominate the local market.
