Lazada Philippines: Evolution of shopping

We all grew up visiting traditional malls whenever we want to shop. Partly it is because it was the culture and lifestyle that our parents grew up in. Therefore, it is inevitable for us to actually inherit it from our parents. Traditional shopping has been around for a while and it helps that online shopping is now an option as well. No longer will it be frustrating for shoppers who have a busy schedule or have no free time during daytime. Their lifestyle is just not fit for shopping during regular hours. These are the consumers who don't have time in the morning since they work at night.

 They are only free when mall hours are actually closed. It makes it harder for them to visit traditional malls. They can visit traditional malls during the day off at work. It's way harder for them if compared to people who work on a normal shift. Now that they have online shopping as an option, they can shop whenever they want. Offline businesses are now stretching their reach in online. As a matter of fact, it only happened last year in the country. It happened when Lazada Online mall arrived in the country. The Philippines' Online Shopping Mall is one of the very first online malls in the country. They are made available in other South East Asia countries.

Ecommerce quickly have risen once they arrived into the local online scene. It was hard not to notice their influence in local online market. Actually, it's only logical to establish an online mall in the Philippines since there is not much of a competition. It's actually more on how they will convert the online users to become their visitors. Online payment was just not regarded dearly by local online users that are why it was harder for online malls to turn visitors to customers. This is actually hard for online users as their credit card details might get exposed. Sadly, only few of the entire population in the Philippines own a credit card. Ecommerce in general really had hard time growing in the country because of these limitations. This doesn't mean that we are not aware of online payment. It's quite hard for customers to not focus on risk before looking on the reward that lies ahead. It's only because we don't give online malls a chance. We jump to conclusion that they are only there to scam people. These two alone are enough reasons to tell that Ecommerce is really challenging here. It's great that these Ecommerce issues have been solved by the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall.

Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. was introduced to Lazada' local online customers as their alternative payment method. Customers can pay only after their orders have arrived and are handed over to them with this payment method. This kind of setup is actually unconventional for an online mall since they are risking too much on a business side. It is why not too many online malls can offer it.
