E-Commerce Trends & How Do We Save Even More Shopping Online?


The online marketing industry rushed aboard Malaysian shores three years ago, only to be greeted with scepticism and talks of ‘Will it work?’. Today, consumers and business owners know the answer to that question by heart – ‘Yes, it will work and has been working!’

Online shopping is not new in Malaysia, but it is still growing. Like how consumers can save on their retail spending via printed coupons and vouchers, we can do the same while shopping online with digital coupons and promo codes! ShopCoupons come to mind. Read on below, on what I think consumers are looking for when shopping online.


Online Shopping is The Way Forward


Why shop at physical stores when you can go online and just click BUY! While consumers are not 100% abandoning physical stores anytime soon, it is predicted that existing online shoppers will continue to buy more frequently, and non-online shoppers would start to explore e-commerce in the next 12 months

Just like every other industry – big or small - the emerging e-commerce capabilities are pushing for changes in trends. If you were to buy furniture or fresh produce online two years ago, you would think: “Furniture products such as sofas, or fresh produce such as poultry and vegetables, are the kind of things people will never buy online simply because most will want to have a touch and feel of the items.

Payment Methods Are Important! 


Fintech comes to mind, and I've personally done feature articles on multiple payment gateways from Maybank, to GT Dollar, to B Infinite just to name a few. While cash is king, 90% consumers who responded to the survey are now more open to the idea of opting for non-cash payment methods than they never had before.

This means that businesses must up their game and offer multiple payment options, in a move to increase sales through the improvement of customer convenience. Firstly, businesses with an online arm will continue to thrive when they offer more payment options for their customers. Secondly, consumers who are exposed to a myriad of payment methods get the option to choose their preferred channel, and in the long run, better manage their finances. Thirdly, online marketplaces will impose a more stringent payment monitoring system, resulting in safe online transaction for all.

Express Delivery !


As the logistics industry grows exponentially to keep up with the rigorous demands of online shopping, it is predicted that consumers will relook the timeline as to when they would like their purchases to be delivered – in this case, the faster the better. Superb!



It Goes Beyond Price


At the end of the day, while we have established that consumers are encouraged to shop online due to its many cost-saving benefits, it also boils down to all the other frills such as customer service, positive product reviews, and many more.
