These ecommerce platforms are giving huge discounts and early access to premium members for catching the eyeballs of consumers and increasing market share.

Flipkart GOAT Sale 2024

This includes smartphones like Galaxy S23, Nothing Phone 2a and iPhone 15. The Flipkart Plus Members can get early access to sale on July 19.

Myntra Super Saver Sale

Myntra is hosting the Super Saver Sale from July 13 to 21 where consumers are getting 80% off on fashion pieces. It is targeting consumers who want to spend economically on pocket-friendly fashion items. Ajio's Red Hot Sale, scheduled from July 18 to 28 is offering new fashion styles at up to 90% off. Both sales events are anticipated to draw a huge number of consumers. The platforms are deliberately not releasing the particular details about discounts ahead of the sale dates. This is done to keep consumers excited and create a better market when sale events are about to begin. 

The coinciding of various mega sales events this monsoon indicates the highly competitive nature of the Indian e-commerce ecosystem. The platforms are giving early access as rewards to regular customers and driving huge traffic during the sale events. The marketing campaigns are deploying unique selling strategies such as exclusive offerings, significant price cuts and free gifts on purchases. Additionally, companies are encouraging consumers to use promo codes and coupons for increasing savings. All these practices are put in action to influence customer behaviour into spending large sums of money. 

Consumers can take maximum benefit of these sales events by comparing product prices and offerings of different platforms and keep themselves updated with the latest information regarding discounts and perks.  They should also look at reviews to ensure quality of products before buying.
