Loccoso, the TripleClicks Local Commerce Solutions division, provides payment and product fulfillment/delivery services around the world.
Those services give us a foundation for successfully addressing the issues that are underlying in your question, issues such as (1) willingness to get involved in online marketing (2) availability and acceptance of online payment instruments, and (3) a sense of security with online purchases.
The solutions to those problems are in (i) a dense network of LocalPays,and ECAs, (ii) making available, locally, some high demand TripleClicks and ECAs products, and (iii) offering, at the beginning at least, Tcurrency to meet the demand that will surge. There is also the opportunity to introduce people to some of the Eager Zebra games.
Humans are creatures of habits, Only little by little, will those habits change. The above actions will gradually make people familiar with SFI in those countries, help them get comfortable with online transactions, using safe, traditional methods of payments, until they start to buy and doing business online without giving it a second thought.
You can take the initiative: Get a LocalPay licence, and open an ECA store. In addition to local high demand products, you can stock your store with some of the top selling TripleClicks products. A good cost cutting strategy would start with the "Deal of the Day" products. They are offered with deep discounts, like 53%. There are also some bulk products you can resell in units. For example the Item No: 6060, Advanced Liquid Nutrition - 12 Bottle Case Wholesale (1-5 cases) is already offered at 40% discount. These discounts will cover your shipping costs and afford you with some comfortable profit margin.
You should work with other ECAs who will do the same in their local areas. In addition, introduce some of the Eager Zebra games to local online game players. There are, now, new forms of internet cafes where patrons pay a fee to play online games and win prizes. You and the other ECAs can expand your SFI businesses along those lines.
This first step will ensure that there are enough ECAs and LocalPays offering TripleClicks products and Tcurrency to affiliates and TC members. The more ECAs and LocalPays there are, the better and the faster the service would be.
Your success will inspire other local business owners to join you, become ECAs and get LocalPay licences.
As people get used to transacting online, working their SFI businesses, playing Eager Zebra games, they will naturally consider getting a Pioneer debit card through SFI. Thus, part of the identified problems in your question will be solved..
As the use of debit cards in online transactions gets wider acceptance, the business process will get faster, more convenient. Customer satisfaction will increase. At the same time, younger generations will reach adulthood bringing with them a ready acceptance of online business activity and methods of payments. And, finally, internet penetration and use will improve. The merging of these three trends will be the final solution.
