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.
Thanks for sharing your opinion about online shopping in the Philippines. It was really a great idea for lazada to remove speculations regarding scams. CODs are really the best option to gain trust to an online shop.
