Shopping
nowadays can be hard for most people. A lot of different reasons arise when
someone shops. There is the issue wherein we travel and get tired easily by
just going the conventional offline malls in the country. We also tend to spend
extra cash on expenses that we usually encounter when we travel. Shopping
offline still has hassle when we think about it. It gives us great pleasure
that on top of offline shopping, it's great that we have online shopping as an
alternative. Since we control the time, we can do it whenever we want. They are
just usually alive during night. These are consumers who are asleep at daytime
and are at work during nighttime. This kind of setup doesn't allow them to go
to traditional mall during mall hours. It makes it harder for them to visit
traditional malls. They can visit traditional malls during the day off at work.
It's
more complicated for these consumers unlike if they work on a normal time
shift. It's better now for them since they have online shopping as an option.
Currently, were no going online where you see a lot of offline businesses
migrating to it. What's amazing is that it only started last year in the
Philippines. By the time Lazada had arrived in the country, their competitors
showed up from nowhere. The Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall is one of the
first online malls in the country to serve our local online users. They are
actually a venture that is available in other South East Asia countries. The
Ecommerce industry had a spike once Lazada arrived in South East Asia compared
to the previous years.
The
local online market was influenced dearly by their arrival. Since the
competition is really low, it's only natural for them to launch it in the
country. What i very challenging for them is how they can tell the local
Internet users to visit their online mall. Turning online visitors to online
customers were hard primarily because online payment is not highly regarded. It
is because exposing our credit card details online is quite dangerous. It is
actually more difficult for them since most of the online users don't have
credit cards. It slowed down the Ecommerce growth in the country. It doesn't
mean that the local Internet users are unaware of online transactions.
The
problem with Filipinos is that we don't give them a chance and we overshadow
reward with risk. In essence, we just don't trust dealing with online malls
especially for our first time attempt. We judge them immediately as a scam
websites. This pretty much speaks loudly that Ecommerce is a no joke for online
investors. These two Ecommerce problems in the country were single handedly
solved by the Philippines' Online Shopping Mall. These online malls offered
their customers Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. as their alternative payment method.
No longer will customers be required to pay upfront only until they actually
receive their orders once it is delivered at their very homes.
