Offline Vs Online sales this Diwali :

Industry estimates suggest that ecommerce companies will spend Rs. 2,000 crore this year on marketing and offering discounts to consumers during the festive season.

– There was a lot of whining and complaining by the physical store owners last year’s festive season.

– The reason for that was ecommerce giants Flipkart, Amazon and Snapdeal had pursued an aggressive discounting policy during the festive season to gain market share and traffic

– This impacted demand in physical stores, even prompting traditional retailers to approach the government over what they said was predatory pricing.

The move could be triggered by the huge traction garnered by the recently held festivals that could perhaps overshadow the

GOSF scheduled for December.
