Don’t
we get tired of walking around a mall only to realize later on that what we are
looking for is not available? What is worst is that by the time you moved on to
another mall, a big chunk of your energy and time has been already wasted. This
was usually our issue in the past were Ecommerce still did not exist in the
country. Online shopping is a very helpful alternative for people in address
their shopping needs. It gives customers more in control of their time.
They
live in lifestyle where they prefer to live life at night. Usually, these are
the people who work on night shift. Their lifestyle is unusual since they are
only free when malls are actually closed. It's really hard for them to visit
traditional malls as they please. They can only visit these offline malls
during holidays or weekend. It's more complicated for these consumers unlike if
they work on a normal time shift. It makes it easier for them nowadays since
they now have online shopping.
Most
of the businessmen are now shifting to online business. This only happened last
year in the Philippines. When Lazada arrived in the Philippines, other online
malls were established as well. They are actually one of the first online malls
established in the country. They were also launched in other South East Asia
countries. After they arrived in the country, Ecommerce immediately grew
exponentially. 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 more hard for them
on how to tell local online users to check their lazada.com.ph website.
One
of the factors why online users were hard to lure is because they are not
familiar with online payment. It's quite hard to shared confidential personal
details such as credit card details since it leave us prone from getting stolen
by hackers. It is actually more difficult for them since most of the online
users don't have credit cards. Payment setup is one of the factors why
Ecommerce never grew fast compared to other countries it reached success
earlier. It doesn't mean local online users are not familiar with online
payment.
With
online malls, we usually look to their risk rather than the reward that may
come. In essence, we just don't trust dealing with online malls especially for
our first time attempt. For us, all online malls are just put up to scam local
Internet users. It is what makes Ecommerce very hard to penetrate for online
businesses. Good thing that Lazada came up with a solution to solve both of
these issues. They were able to come up with Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. as an
alternative payment method to their customers. This allows local online users
to pay only after they receive their orders and not upfront, which is the usual
setup with online malls.
