No hassle in shopping at Lazada Online Mall

How do online shopping weigh in over traditional shopping with the local customers? Online shopping would have been rejected if it were offered a few years back. Customers always consider credibility if ever they will be shopping on an online mall. Frauds and scams in online usually happen that's why customers are avoiding shopping online. Credit cards are not actually popular in the country since only a few of them have it making online shopping even more challenging. Moreover, it makes first time online shopping prospects more doubtful in proceed with their online shopping. Having a secured credit card online is very important for an online store have. Customers proceeding to online shopping are usually bound with these details. Online shopping has drastically changed ever since Lazada online mall came into that picture a year ago. Other local businessmen quickly shifted to online business, specifically online shopping. It is actually sad that International Internet giants needed to show the way before our very own believed in Ecommerce.

The Philippines Online Shopping Mall arrived in the country with a solution to solve the Ecommerce issues in the Philippines. Their solution was to offer an alternative payment method that will solve the local Ecommerce woes in the country. They simply called it Cash on Delivery or C.O.D., which is called by many. This online setup allows customers to trust them and feel secured right away. Risk is lesser with this payment method since customers don't need to expose their credit card details and can proceed right away on testing their service. How can customers work on this setup? The local online consumers can visit their website and check their huge selections. There is no need to pay right away in case customers figured out which one they want to buy. They only require customers who select Cash on Delivery to give a few details like the shipment address and name of the recipient without need to pay upfront.

As long as customers have provided their shipment details, they can just wait for their orders to arrive at their doorsteps, which usually take two to five days. Upon delivery and as order are handed over to local online customer, that's the only time they are required to pay cash in real time. Once an order delivery is above one thousand pesos, they will shoulder the delivery fee. Since customers keeps the money up until their orders arrive, they feel more secured in online. Seeing customers having an advantage over online stores is very unusual when you come to think of it. This is the reason why stood out from their competition as they give their customers more edge over themselves as an online store. They also continue to look for ways to improve their service by adding more alternative payment options to their service and giving their customers more flexibility on what fits them best. They even tied up with MegaLink just recently and re-offered PayPal payment options to their customers.      

Lazada: Everything is made easy in online shopping

Internet has vastly changed our lifestyle. We have now incorporated Internet usage as a necessity in our daily activities. Local Internet users usually have their own websites that they occasionally visit. Online websites should always think on how their online visitors will stay on their website. It's ideal that online website owners identify and implement features on their website so that their users will stay on their website. It's almost every day that new websites are activated online everyday in this modern digital era. It benefits a website if they allow their visitors to experience great user interface. This can help Ecommerce gain extra revenue. Sure! There are a lot of online malls that offer better deals but their website is hard to use. Any deal maybe disregarded by any online customers if the website offering it gives them a bad time. The credibility of online malls usually lies on this as well.

Website usually gets a negative impression if a customers experience bad service from them. Badly treated online customers may lead for them to spread the word that a website is a scam, which is worse. In the Philippines, Ecommerce is actually an online industry that is getting stronger everyday. Believe it or not, it only started last year. The majority of the local online community never even considered it prior to that year. Instead of spending cash on brand new items or products, the local Internet users usually look for second hand items or units on local online classified websites. The rate of getting scammed online in online shopping in the Philippines is quite high.

Once Lazada Online Mall arrived in the country, everything changed with how online users perceive online shopping. In order for them to convince online users to try their service, they offered Cash on Delivery or simple called C.O.D. No need for online customers to pay right away since they can pay later after their orders are delivered at their very home. This setup gives the local online consumers that upper hand by a mile. After orders are handed over to their customers, that's the only time customers that selected Cash on Delivery as their payment method to pay in cash. Being credit cardholder will no longer have heavy bearing since we can now shop online with just cash on our pocket.

I really appreciate how they made their website very user friendly to their online customers. Firs time users won't even have a hard time understanding on how to use their website to shop. The navigation is very easy to understand that almost anyone who sees it will instantly have an idea on how to use it. It's highly unlikely that an online customer will get lost on their website since they can access the category menu anytime on all of their pages. With great division of huge selections, it makes online shopping much easier for their customers. This helps local online customers to easily address what category should they visit.

Lazada Philippines: A rare setup between an online customer and an online store

Shopping has always been part of our culture. It only varies whether you are shopping for necessities or just for luxury. With that in mind, will online shopping be able to level with the satisfaction we get from traditional shopping? If this were asked in the mid 2000, a lot of us would have said no on online shopping. It is very important for online malls to have a credible reputation for customers to consider shopping at their store. Online malls are actually scary to deal with since a there's a chance some of them are just scams and frauds. It's even harder for most consumers to shop online since they don't have any credit cards. It’s not because the majority of the population can’t buy at all. It’s just that we prefer to pay in cash and get what we want in real time. It’s another story about the security that customers usually question in online.  

It's no surprise that a lot of the first time customers asks themselves a lot of question before proceeding on their online shopping. Actually, there is certain measurement that customers conduct like if the online stores have a safe and secured line for credit card transactions. These are the issues that online customers consider before going with online shopping. The perception in online shopping drastically changed when website like Lazada arrived in the country last year. Once they arrived in the country, they brought with them a solution that will solve the local Ecommerce issues in the country. It’s actually a widely known payment method in the country. However, it was only used in offline transactions and mostly on fast food delivery services.

Their alternative payment method solved both of the major issues in the local Ecommerce. They referred to it as Cash on Delivery while other customers usually call it C.O.D. People can actually trust them with this kind of setup in online. By having this option, customers are not required to surrender their credit card details and can try their service without risking too much. How can it make it easier for customers? They can select from the huge selection of their website. Customers who already know what to buy on the website won't need to pay it right away.

Once the customer selects the “Cash on Delivery” as their form of payment method, the website only asks only a couple of details from them which is the name of the recipient of the order and the preferred shipping address. Customers can receive their orders between two to five days after completing the delivery details; some even encountered same day delivery. Customers will only be subject to pay in cash once their orders are handed over to them upon delivery. As long as it exceeds one thousand pesos, they will cover delivery fee. Customer can feel assured that they have security on their money since they can keep it up until their orders arrived. It's actually rare to see this kind of setup between a customers and online store were customers have the advantage.

Lazada: Online malls get the usual scam website impression

We occasionally look for better ways in what we do. It’s normal to go for the easier way. This may be from doing assignments, tasks at work or now even shopping. A lot of us think of online shopping as a helpful alternative in traditional shopping. These allow Filipinos to have more option and be in control of their time. Their schedule is just very unusual compared to most people. These are the customers who work on graveyard shift. They are usually not free when malls are open, which is a pain for their situation. They really have a hard time visiting traditional malls. They can visit traditional malls during the day off at work. Since they don't work at a normal time shift, it's obvious that it is harder for them. It's great that they have online shopping option now at their disposal. A lot of established offline business is now shifting to online. This only happened last year in the Philippines. This rise took place when Lazada arrived in the Philippines they are one of the first online shopping mall in the Philippines.

Some South East Asia countries also have Lazada on their respective country. The Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall made a splash in the local Ecommerce market compared a couple of years ago where online shopping didn't exist at all The local online market was influenced dearly by their arrival. Actually, it's only logical to establish an online mall in the Philippines since there is not much of a competition. Actually the initial problem they had lies with how they will allow customers to visit their website. Online payment wasn't highly regarded at that time that's why it was hard for them to lure people. It's just really hard to trust online since credit card details might be compromised if used online. Now that the technology is getting more equipped and sophisticated, an average Internet user don’t know already what’s going on behind the scenes in technology. This makes us worry about our safety in online such online identity theft. For us, it’s just better to play safe rather than risk a little and experience great consequences.

What makes it more alarming for them is that there are only a few credit cardholders in the country. This is one of the main reasons why Ecommerce growth was slowed down. It doesn't mean local online users are not familiar with online payment. We don't give online malls a second chance since we consider risk and disregard reward right away. Moreover, we just disregard online malls in general from first encounter. We judge them immediately as a scam websites. These two alone are enough reasons to tell that Ecommerce is really challenging here. Upon Lazada's arrival, they created a solution for these Ecommerce woes. They first introduced Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. in online to solve these issues. Payment with them is not required to be right away and customers can keep it up until they receive their orders.

LazadaPH: Fast shopping in online mall

So how do local online users pick which of the websites in the past should he or she re-visit? From an online business owner perspective, they should always weigh in if the stay of their visitors is helpful for them. Website owners should question if they gave their visitors have a great user experience. Nowadays, now that we have millions of website already published in the Internet. Having a good website interface is good for visitors. For Ecommerce websites who provide great experience to their customers may increase their sales. Try to think if a certain online mall will offer great deals but it is hard to navigate and understand. There is high probability that online visitors will just skip an online mall with bad experience even if it offers great deals.  It also reflects the credibility of an online store. Websites that do present bad user interface and experience to their customers will give them a bad impression on other online customers as well.

These online malls may even be considered as a scam website instantly by online customers who are just angry with them. The Ecommerce industry is actually a booming online business in the Philippines. To be honest, I believe this started only last year. A couple of years ago, it wasn't even recognized by the local online users. Actually, the local online users prefer second hand items from postings on local online classified ads. Actually, there's a high risk that online scam may occur in online shopping. This all changed when website like Lazada, the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall was launched in the country. Good thing that they offer Cash on Delivery or simple called C.O.D. that allowed local online users to try them. This allows them to avoid getting scammed since they don't need to pay right away unlike conventional online malls.

This is actually the other way around where online malls risks more than the customers. This payment method only requires customers to pay in cash only after order package is handed over in real time. What makes this perfect fit to the local Internet consumers is that credit card is not a mandatory anymore for their online shopping. But what I appreciate about the Lazada websites is their layout design as well.  I think any first time users won’t have a hard time navigating their website. Visitors can easily understand how to navigate the website even on their first glance. Since their category navigation exist on all of their pages, it will be impossible to get lost on their website. They offer huge selections that are grouped accordingly that it will help local online users to browse thru their interest. This actually helps customers right away on where to go directly on their category. There is no need for them to waste their time browsing to their categories only to find out later on that the item they are looking for is not available on their online store.
