Lazada hosts M-Commerce Mobile Power Sale Media Launch on its big move

I think I already mentioned this before, but, I am a huuuge fan of shopping. Especially online shopping! And for this, there is no webstore I trust more than lazada.com.ph.

Personally, I've always preferred to shop at Lazada because it delivers fast, its prices are reasonable, and its shopping and payment terms are convenient and safe. They also often give discounts and sales that are enough to make anyone go crazy! With all its success throughout the years, it's just too intriguing to know what makes all these possible. I mean, with all the competing e-markets in this country, how did Lazada emerge as one of the largest and number one online shopping destination nationwide?

Lucky me, I got the chance to know more about this in Lazada’s M-Commerce Mobile Power Sale Media Event last Feb. 18 at its brand new office at Net Park in Bonifacio Global City! To celebrate its big move, Lazada invited a few key media people for a short talk led by M-Commerce experts from Google, Facebook, Globe Telecom, GCash, and Lazada itself. This was a very interesting discussion that gave guests valuable learnings we can all use, given that almost every Filipino participates in M-Commerce, or the use of mobile phones to make commercial transactions online.

Lazada also gave us a grand tour of its new home, which I found really organized and work-friendly. It shows a lot of how well Lazada is doing as a company too.  Over lunch, guests were able to discuss critical topics and experiences about M-Commerce like what to focus on, what to expect, what to invest on for this kind of business and how the fast shifts of technology (from shopping through your desktop to shopping through your mobile phones) boost business, among many others.

I also got to meet a number of Lazada’s young and talented employees, beginning with its CEO, who’s only 30 years young! And it’s not his first year too, he was already a Lazada head when it launched in the Philippines 4 years ago! Imagine co-founding the Philippines’ largest online shopping website at only 26! Under his leadership, there is no wonder how Lazada has already made it this big in such a short period of time. I’m sure this company is in for many more milestones, not just in 2016, but for many years to come.

Me with the cute Laz! He's Lazada's adorable white furry mascot.
