ISLAMABAD: Online shopping is gradually getting popularity in Pakistan though it is still not as popular and common as it is in Western countries.

In Pakistan big reason for its popularity is the existence of many online shopping websites in Pakistan while popularity of e-shopping in West is because of excessive use of Internet.

Online shopping in Pakistan is a new concept but with the passage of time it is growing.

As the education level is also increasing, people are getting familiar with online shopping. Media really plays an important role in educating people especially girls regarding latest fashion trends.

The other reason for the popularity of e-shopping in Pakistan is that people find it quite beneficial and time saving.

It saves a lot of time people do not need to waste their time by exploring the market. They can sit in front of computer and select the desired thing and buy it online.

The gradual growth of this trend in Pakistan is leading towards the development of more websites. There are around 100 online shopping websites in Pakistan from where clothes, shoes, cell phones, cameras and jewels can be purchased.

A new era for online shopping in Pakistan
Friday, June 07, 2013

Over the past few years, a number of e-commerce websites have been launched in Pakistan. Azmalo.pk is the latest one to join the trend and has taken the online shopping world by storm. This online marketplace has been developed by the German online venture builders, Rocket Internet, who have ventured in more than 40 countries. Rocket Internet has successfully emulated and launched e-commerce websites, similar to the likes of Azmalo.pk globally.

An online marketplace, Azmalo allows individuals to buy and sell various goods, such as fashion apparel, computers, electronics, books, home appliances and mobile phones online and have them delivered directly to the buyers. With convenient services such as cash-on-delivery, Azmalo aims to provide a convenient and trusted platform for online shopping.

With the advent of e-commerce, online shopping is becoming increasingly popular in Pakistan and to specifically cater this increasing demand, Azmalo was launched. Azmalo was also launched primarily with the aim to empower small and medium size business as well as private sellers to sell online. It not only provides a platform to these small businesses to showcase their products but we provide them with an array of different marketing opportunities as well that increase the chances of their sales and brand recognition via Azmalo’s multi-platform marketing approach. With a choice between fixed price selling and auctioning, Azmalo enables sellers to decide which method would be best for them. Consumer feedback and ratings allow for buyers to rate the sellers, which helps in providing a measure as to the quality, service and reliability of each seller.

At Azmalo, the focus is more on the people and how to make their online shopping experience as convenient, safe, and fun as possible. It aims to function as a marketplace, where interested sellers and buyers can interact and reach the best possible deals. Buyers choose from a number of sellers and get the best possible deals by comparing prices of a product by different sellers from the convenience of their homes, saving their precious time and fuel. As a buyer, online shopping is made easier with easy browsing, an extensive variety of goods for a one-stop shop experience and flexible payment and free delivery options to suit the buyer needs.

This model has seen to be quite successful globally and is flourishing day by day with more and more people realising the benefits of online shopping. However due to some dissimilarities of Pakistan’s socio-economic landscape compared to the global market, the Azmalo platform has been adapted to the needs of an average Pakistani buyer to make it conducive to the people and to improve its accessibility. Considering the prevalence of natural distrust towards online shopping, Azmlao has made some modifications to the payment and delivery system whereby buyers would only have to pay once they receive their bought item at their door step free of cost allowing them to check whether they got what they ordered.

With options such as easy browsing and search facility from wide range of products, fast and free delivery, cash-on-delivery, and buyer-seller coordination services, Azmalo aims to change the change the viewpoint of people regarding online shopping by their safe and reliable service and enhance the e-commerce market in Pakistan.
