GROWTH STORY…
8. WHY BOOKS WERE THE FIRST CHOICE
?
• Lower Transactions Size
• Better Shelf Size
• Shipping And Handling Of Books Is Easy
• To Emerge As A Pioneer In Book Retailing Rather
Than Venturing Comparison Shopping Engine
9. FLIPKART STRENGTHS
• Price Reductions
• 24 Hour A Day Shopping
• Complete Freedom And Time To Choose
• Satisfied Customers – Purchase Frequently And
Spending Will Increase
10. The overall brand value of FLIPKART is good
, but it is facing some tough competition from
its global competitors like eBay , Amazon. But
if talking about domestic market i.e. India , it
is the most superior E-business portal which
is aggressively expanding and planting its
roots deep into the Indian market and at the
same time shifting the mind set of the people
i.e. from going and shopping from physical
stores to online stores, which is magnificent !
