With the internet revolutionizing all our lives, many are looking at online selling as a viable business opportunity. Fortunately, Lalamove is here to help aspiring online businesses from homeowners with the best delivery service in the metro. More than just providing lipat-bahay trucks, with our same-day delivery service, Lalamove is able to connect owners of small businesses to a wider range of customers.
According to a report by CNN Philippines, e-commerce is growing at an exponential rate in the country and is expected to grow to up to 5 to 7 percent in the next few years. This is driven by the Filipinos' high internet usage, particularly in social media and Carousell, where many online sellers set up shop. There are also platforms such as Shopee and Lazada that help simplify and operationalize the business of online selling. These opportunities are good for all Filipinos who want to start and expand their online business from home by venturing into e-commerce.
To reach further, an online business has to have a trusted courier with affordable delivery fees -- or lipat-bahay truck rates -- who will provide the best delivery service for small businesses in a fast, easy, and affordable way, and to do that, your express delivery partner has to have these features:
Delivery App on Mobile or Web
One of the benefits of an online business from home is that you can take it wherever you go, which is why your on-demand delivery service has to be as mobile as you. Having an on-demand delivery partner who is available on both an easy-to-use app and a more powerful web platform will help you deliver your online products more efficiently to your customers. Lalamove can do this through our app on the Play Store and App Store and our web app at www.web.lalamove.com.
Variety of Delivery Vehicles
A flexible online business from home has to have a delivery partner that is just as flexible. Having a courier who can deliver anything from small products to big and bulky items can be helpful in making day-to-day operations easier. That's why for an online business from home, a delivery partner with a wide variety of vehicle options matters a lot. Lalamove has the widest options of delivery vehicles from motorcycles, MPVs (vans & utility vehicles), and Light Trucks (FB Trucks/L300) that are ready to take on any of your logistical needs, like business deliveries or lipat-bahay trucking services.
