Consumers nowadays are increasing everyday. With the
increase of population, traditional mall tend to be more crowded in the coming
years. This is when shopping online comes in to make it easier and more
convenient for customers. It's always a good thing if Filipinos have
alternative on traditional shopping such as online shopping. Shoppers can be in
control on when to buy, wherever they may be. Their schedule is just very
unusual compared to most people. These are the consumers who have unusual
schedule and is asleep in daytime. Their lifestyle is unusual since they are
only free when malls are actually closed. They are unable to visit malls when
they please unlike most people.
These customers can only visit traditional mall when they
are off from their work or business. People who live this kind of lifestyle
gets a hard time compared if they work on a normal shift. It actually benefits
them now that online shopping is an available option. Nowadays, a lot of
business is turning their business to online. Surprisingly, it only occurs
since last year in the country. These rise took place when Lazada arrived in
the Philippines Actually, they are one of the first online malls to arrive in
the country. They were also launched in other South East Asia countries.
The industry of Ecommerce had a quick shift upwards after
they arrived in the country. They can actually take credit for their influence
on the local Ecommerce scene. The local online scene has no competition so it
only made sense to launch it in the country. What makes it challenging for them
is how they will lure local Internet users to their online mall. Local online
users were hard to convert to online customers since online payment is no easy
task for them. They are mostly afraid that their credit card details maybe
exposed online.
The majority of the population here in the country doesn’t
even have their own credit cards. This is one of the main reasons why Ecommerce
growth was slowed down. It doesn't reflect that they have no idea about online
transactions. We don't give Ecommerce websites enough chance since we are
close-minded and think only of the risk. We just pull the plug once we
encounter these kind of website right away. To us, it's all put up to scam
local online users. It is what makes Ecommerce very hard to penetrate for
online businesses.
The Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall solved these issues in
the local Ecommerce market. Their C.O.D. or Cash on Delivery alternative
payment method as introduced to the local online users. This allows online
customers to keep there before their orders arrived at their doorstep. It is
much easier to trust online malls this way. Since they can keep their money up
until their orders arrived, online stores are not asking too much from the
customer’s end right away. It can easily earn the customer’s trust.
