It
is no secret that using the Internet can be a very helpful tool to make our
daily activities much easier. It initially was used to get boundless
information overtime. But it eventually to more than what it was originally
intended. First it became a tool to communicate worldwide. Now it has become an
online shopping venue for the local online users. It is expected, rather than
go with traditional shopping, which is offline; it's good to know that we can
also avail online shopping. These allow Filipinos to have more option and be in
control of their time. They just have a tough schedule and work lifestyle.
These are the people who don’t have time during daylight and are at work at
night.
Traditional malls are usually closed already
by the time they are free. They just can't visit the malls anytime they want.
Traditional malls are only available during weekends or holidays. It's obvious
with their time schedule; they can't just gain access on malls at their will.
Now that online shopping is rising, it's good for these kinds of customers who
have a weird schedule. Currently, were no going online where you see a lot of
offline businesses migrating to it. It has only begun to expand last year in
the country.
This
rise took place when Lazada arrived in the Philippines The Philippines’ Online
Shopping Mall is one of the online mall to offer huge selections similar to an
online mall. You can also check them on other South East Asia countries. The
Ecommerce industry had a spike once they arrived in South East Asia compared to
the previous years. The local online scene was never the same again after they
arrived. The local online scene has no competition so it only made sense to launch
it in the country. However, the challenge lies on how they will entire the
local online users to try their website. It was hard for them to lure people
since online payment is a trouble for most online users. It is because exposing
our credit card details online is quite dangerous.
Actually,
credit cards are not widely used in the country. This is one of the main
reasons why Ecommerce growth was slowed down. Local online users are not
relatively unfamiliar with online payment. We usually think of risk first and
disregard the reward that we may get if we push through with dealing on online
malls. A customer in general judges an Ecommerce website right before it is
given a chance to introduce themselves to their market. For us, all online
malls are just put up to scam local Internet users. It is what makes Ecommerce
very hard to penetrate for online businesses. But they made a breakthrough to
eliminate these two problems in the country. They are one of the first online
stores to offer Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. as an 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.
