E-tailers generate $3 billion during six-day festive sales

六天的节日促销，印度电商创收30亿美元

BENGALURU: India’s largest online retailers Flipkart and Amazon India clocked an increase of 30% in their gross merchandise value (GMV) to $3 billion during the six-day festive sales. This was lower than the expected target of $3.7 billion pegged by management consultancy RedSeer, as focus on value buys and slowing growth in urban markets impacted the numbers.

班加罗尔：为期六天的节日促销，印度最大的在线零售商Flipkart和亚马逊印度的商品交易总值(GMV)增长了30%，达到30亿美元。这低于管理咨询公司RedSeer所预期的37亿美元。

A significant slowdown in growth is underlined by these numbers as the total sales had increased by 77% to $2.3 billion during the five-day sale period in 2018 as compared to 2017 (see graphic).

与2017年相比(见图表)，这些数据突显了增长的显著放缓。

2018年历时5天的促销，总销售额比前一年增长了77%，达到23亿美元。

RedSeer also said that Flipkart, where Walmart owns a 77% stake, has emerged as the winner with a 63% market share during the sales, while Amazon India stood at 28-30%. Flipkart had last week claimed a 73% market share citing internal data.

RedSeer还表示，Flipkart(沃尔玛持有其77%的股份)以63%的市场份额成为了赢家，而亚马逊印度的市场份额为28% -30%。Flipkart上周公布的内部数据显示，其市场份额为73%。

And they say people are not spending .. give the product at right price and there is always a buyer in India

还说人们都不消费了。只要价格合适，印度人总会消费的

Now a days most retailers have linked up with e-retailers to supply on line, making their life easy as they have to hire less staff to serve customers at the shops.

如今，大多数零售商与电商建立了供货联系，这样卖东西容易多了，还可以少雇人。

20 000 crore rs. business goes to 4-5 companies in a week..This companies and their suppliers employs very less people and profit money goes to handful of people. Here is a reason for unemployment and rich getting richer....

4-5家公司一星期就赚了2000亿卢比。这些公司和他们的供应商雇佣的员工非常少，利润归少数人所有。这就是富人越来越富，失业人员越来越多的原因……

Amazon and Walmart offer attractive discounts, door delivery, easy returns, payment and EMI options on millions of products including branded products. Then why one should go to the shop, spending time and fuel, where no price guarantee , easy goods return facility, non acceptance of Credit or Debit card and limited choice. These e-com companies are providing employment to thousands which is appreciable. They know how to attract buyers using media and technology. which is not the case with local stores.

亚马逊和沃尔玛折扣很大、送货上门、轻松退货、付款方式多，产品种类繁多。为什么人们要去实体店消费呢，既花费时间和路费，价格也不便宜，付款方式有限。

电商为成千上万的人提供了就业机会。他们知道如何利用媒体来吸引买家。实体店却不懂。

Who says Economy is down when such humongous sales happen, IRCTC mops up 78000 Crs, Bharat Fund mops up 138000 Crores...Let media not propogate wrong signals...Hope for the best and good things happen...Negativity just kills all

销售额这么大，谁说经济衰退了? …凡是要往好处想，消极只会毁灭一切

Had India not been faced with slowdown, the sales would have been much higher. Sometimes I doubt that we are faced with a slowdown.

如果印度经济没有放缓，销量可能会高得多。有时我怀疑，我们的经济是否真的放缓了。

The culture of undercutting all, including themselves, is good for the buyers but not for the economy.

打折对买家有利，但对经济无益。

Now a days people of India have changed their buying method. Instead of step into the show rooms or retail shops, they prefer everything on their door steps. If the online retailers make festive sale, definitely people take the advantage of it

现在，印度人已经改变了购物方式。不愿走进实体店，而是喜欢送货上门。如果电商进行节日促销，人们肯定会抓住机会消费的

Etailing is the best thing to happen. They can give discounts due to less operating cost compared to brick and mortar stores.

电商是最好的选择。与实体店相比，电商的运营成本更低，可以提供打折。

印度电商先提高价格，然后再打折。最好去实体店消费。
