Lazada redefines online shopping in the Philippines


Want some way to spy on your annoying brother and finally get back at him? Or maybe catch your boyfriend on the act? Thanks to technology, making these things happen has become more attainable. If you thought getting your hands on a spy gadget would have to cost you thousands, think again. I recently saw Lazada featuring a bunch of products perfect for that childhood detective dreams. A spy pen camera with high definition resolution is sold for only P800. A cap with a built-in camera is sold for only a little over P2000. But these things just don’t come in handy for proving speculations true. These things are also very handy recording tools for important meetings without the excess baggage. 

I always like websites that are underrated but have so much to offer under their sleeves. Lazada at first glance looks like your typical online shop and maybe it is. But it definitely has more edge that most already established online sites. For one thing, the number of items they sell are over 20, 000 covering diverse nature of products from baby toys to music and gadgets. But it excels mostly on how user-friendly it is. Manipulating the website can be mastered by even a four year old just trying out for the first time. The specifics of the item being searched for can be typed in the sear bar with use of keywords such as the brand, color and nature of product. Remember when we had to personally click on every single album there is in Multiply just to see if any of the items being sold resemble what we have in mind? Well those days are finally over because a website such prestige as Lazada has made Filinos top of its priority.

Lazada has branches in other parts of Southeast Asia including Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. As part of the Rocket Internet line up of online shopping websites, it is understandable how it has become such a huge venue for many online shoppers. Since its launch last February, online shopping in the Philippines has been then redefined as a formal source of income. For many years, Flipinos took this industry for granted thinking that it would never grow to what is has become today. But now Filipinos actually look for sites to buy from because it has become a known fact that most good deals can be found online. A myth before that has been proven true over and over again. 

Filipinos no longer have to drive to the nearest mall to grab a couple of essentials because even beauty products have become available online. Talk about living in the comforts of your home. Now you can literally get everything you need with just your phone in hand. Whether you’re hungry or just looking for the next best thing to splurge on, online sites have made it possible and affordable enough for you to choose it over shopping which has been for a long time known as traditional.
