Business Continuity through E-Commerce

AmCham Philippines

AmCham came to life in 1902 as the Manila Coffee Round Table and later as Manila Merchants Association. Incorporated in 1920, it has since then recognized and reconfirmed the commitment of American business to the development and welfare of the Philippines and the Filipino people.

This is a commitment of long-standing, as its mission statement declares:

The Chamber exists to serve the interests of U.S. businesses through the participation of members in promoting their long-term objectives while contributing to the civic and economic development of the Philippines.”

Webinar summary:

In light of the recent negative developments of COVID-19, and increasing cases internationally, the Philippines under the Duterte Administration decided to take measures in mitigating the pandemic. Initially, Metro Manila was put under a community quarantine, and eventually, under an enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) including all parts of Luzon. In the midst of the crises that we are all facing today, it is an undeniable fact that e-commerce eases our lives. In response to the restrictions due to the ECQ, Lazada will showcase the importance of e-commerce in performing our activities that we once did traditionally.

The following are to be discussed:

Lazada as a go-to lifestyle e-commerce platform for customers
Potential of e-commerce in the Philippines
Seller empowerment
Current disruptions due to COVID-19 and how Lazada responds to this situation
Advantages of putting your products online
Lazada's assistance to retailers and MSMEs
Things to consider before selling online
Marketable items
Difference between putting products on social media vs specific-based digital marketplace
