E-commerce
is without a doubt becoming more influential by the minute giving Filipinos not
just a more convenient method for shopping but also providing multiple jobs
with decent paying salaries. Besides the abundance in product choices provided
for us from the comforts of our home, e-commerce centered businesses have
helped the economy’s growth in more ways than one.
And
like all strong trees, it must start small. But for some, replanting an already
growing tree with a strong foundation increases the speed of its growth. Rocket
Internet created a venture that online enthusiasts would enjoy all over
Southeast Asia. Lazada currently stands tall in the mainlands of Vietnam,
Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines. But because it already has
Rocket Internet’s guidance and a long line of successful ventures from the said
company as basis, the challenge of fully establishing its roots to a foreign
country did not get in the way of its now commendable success.
Lazada
currently holds the title of being the Best Online Shopping Mall for 2013
according to the Golden Globe Annual Awards. A prestigious honor that not a lot
of e-commerce websites or companies can claim was once theirs. As a company
with very little to work with knowing that only a small population in the
Philippines actually considers shopping online as a first choice for a method
for purchasing goods, Lazada with no hesitation created a whole new breed of
online shoppers loyal to its quality of service. Now, over its official
Facebook page has over 1, 000, 000, 000 followers all gained in duration of
only a little over a year.
Lazada
Philippines is an online shopping mall that provides multiples shopping
merchandises from consumer electronics to children’s’ toys. Surprisingly, a
foreign-owned company with its top management made up of a majority of
foreigners was able to formulate a website that perfectly captures the
interests of Filipinos nationwide. The website is available to Filipinos all
over the country made possible by its official shipping company partners, LBC
and 2GO.
It
has given not only convenience to its consumers through online ordering but
also made its products more affordable than those sold in the public malls or
markets. All products can be paid with either cash or credit card depending on
the choice of the customer. Each method of payment fits a specific preference
making it accessible to all types of online consumers.
E-commerce
has become more than just a form of leisure. Now, even those who live far away
from the city have the chance to buy whatever they want that might have been
only exclusively sold in outlets in Manila. In addition to having the option to
buy, they can finally do so without having to step out of their houses. The
prestigious online shopping mall provides delivery anywhere in the Philippines
even giving out free delivery too all purchases with a minimum amount of P1000.
To say that the internet has changed the lifestyles of many would be an
understatement.
