Lazada Makes a Difference in More Ways than One


It takes a huge following for a venture to fully flourish but that wasn’t a concern for the award-wining shopping website, Lazada Philippines. In a year’s span, it was able to win over a over a million in fan base that made it the most talked about consumer brand on Facebook at one point. But it’s the online shopping mall’s ability to make its customers feel comfortable and at home that makes it such a sanctuary for many online shoppers.

This year, it started off bigger than ever with countless promos one after the other. One thing that stands out about the online website is its line of services including a reliable list of payment options that open up a bigger audience for the website. It has methods of payments from cash based options to paying on credit. Customers can freely customize his or her preference in accomplishing transactions especially with one of the newest addition, BDO Installment made possible by Banco De Oro. This method allows up to 2 years in payment varying from 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months of equal monthly installments.

For online shoppers who are hesitant because of doubts on the security certain shopping websites have, there are now various ways of measuring just how safe an online site is. For Lazada, it joins forces with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) as it successfully passed the Self Assessment Questionnaire and PCI DSS Security Scan by the well-respected security company. This certifies that the online site is protected from any exposure to hackers or any activities involving the danger of customer security.

A lot of Filipinos live fast paced lives and with that comes the need to make the best out of every free time they have. Online shopping websites do much more than give lazy teenagers a gateway to better access on shopping. It serves a purpose and one of its most important relevance in the culture and lifestyle Filipinos have now is its ability to reach out to families and make an impression any way possible.

I have been a fan of online shopping for a few years now. And although I do not belong to the population I mentioned above, I have witnessed it make wonderful impacts on the lives of my loved ones. I have a friend in Kentucky who has been away for more than four years now. He has made it clear to his family that his only reason for being apart from them for so long is his dire need to get legal residency. But despite it being generally for the benefit of his family so he can get them after, it pains him to see his children growing without him in the picture. He has made use of online sites to reach out to his two sons. He sends them gifts and gets them delivered directly to his house in Pasay. This way, he can make his children feel remembered on the most normal days. He sends gifts when his son makes it to the top of his class that makes both him and his son every bit closer.
