Lazada Philippines: Considering online shopping as an online user


Online users usually stay online to communicate via social media websites. The initial intent of using Internet is to get content or information and to communicate to people. These two components were essential on helping Internet expand widely to its users. For an average Internet user, some local online users just re-visit the same website most of the time. Local online users should always have a purpose in visiting a specific website. Website owners should question if they gave their online visitors great user experience. Hundreds and thousands of new websites are being launched worldwide every day. A website with great user interface helps them get more returning visitors down the road. Extended or extra revenue can also be achieved for Ecommerce websites.

There are websites that offer great deals but don't necessarily provide better user interface. Customers may sometimes disregard great deals with lousy user interface over just decent deals with great user interface. The credibility of online malls usually lies on this matter as well. Bad impressions can easily be earned if an online mall offers bad user experience to their customers. Frauds and scams labeling may even occur from disappointed local online customers. Nowadays, the Ecommerce industry is thriving in the country. To be honest, I believe this started only last year. What's surprising is that the local online users didn't even consider online shopping a year before that.

The local online community usually prefers to visit local online classified ads to check for second hand units or items. Honestly, the rate of online scam probability is a bit high in online shopping. When website like Lazada arrived in the country, everything changed in the local online shopping. By offering Cash on Delivery or simple called C.O.D., it allows local online users to try online shopping without risking too much. No need for online customers to pay right away since they can pay later after their orders are delivered at their very home. They are actually risking a lot by giving their customer all of the advantage between the deals. For those that selected Cash on Delivery as their payment method, they can pay only after their orders are handed over in real time.

We are no longer held to shop online just because we don't have a credit card. But what I appreciate about the Lazada websites is their layout design as well. Regardless if they are first time visitors, I'm sure they will find it easy to understand on how to shop on their website. First time local online visitors that see their website will easily understand how it should be navigated. Since the category menu is available on all of their website pages, it will be harder for someone to get lost. The category selections are grouped properly that it will be easier for local online users to browse for the items they want. Local online customers can directly go to the category of their choosing depending on their preferred interests.
