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.
