What is the fear in speculators is that these popular sites are visited by a large number of audience because of the ‘unbelievable’ offers and discounts they give. But what-if the sites run out of money and cannot provide such discounts? Well, Amazon understand this thing and hence it does not make any kind of expense in OOH marketing (out of home marketing) but instead it gives a discount on a few seasonal and demanded products while ensuring the quality of the site. Shopclues has been doing brilliant in this, it has decided two days, ‘sunday flea market & Wednesday super sale’, in which it does not give any extra discount or promo etc. but it give basic products on a very reasonable price. This kind of initiative has kept it alive and ongoing. Market analyst have a fear of repetition of Turtle and Tortoise race.
