The post Why year 2014 was so special for Indian Ecommerce Industry.. appeared first on FreeKaaMaal Blog.

We have earlier discussed about 'Micromax Yu' (Read Here about Micromax Yu). The handset would be launched tomorrow on 18th December, 2014.
Company has sent media Invites stating : 

 “Since time travel is not an option, block your date for 18.12.2014. Play God” As mentioned above, Cyanogen has teamed up with Micromax in an exclusive tie-up where the former will only support Micromax’s forthcoming YU smartphones. In other words, the company said that it will not support “any other devices shipping to India running on Cyanogen.”

Truth to be told, Micromax is already in a law-war with OnePlus pertaining to the exclusive tie-up of Cyanogen in India. The interesting fact is that the OnePlus One was launched in India through Amazon only. 

Anyways Yu have been extensively promoted and is enjoying a dedicated webpage and a dedicated Facebook page with more than 100,000 likes on it. You can also visit Amazon's exclusive page for it to subscribe. 

Recent tweet from Amazon India stated the launch of the smartphone in the market. 

Are you ready to activate God mode yet? #ComingSoon @ http://t.co/0VHy3kzXsh #AmazonExclusive pic.twitter.com/cifIznwqCd

— Amazon.in (@amazonIN) December 16, 2014

We must be thinking about this so called 'Play-God' stuff. Actually,as per as the company, you can create you own theme while using the smartphone. So, you will be having a smartphone which will be exactly as you want it. 

A ban on Xiaomi and OnePlus will surely put up a sense of confidence of the customers in Micromax Yu. However, no one can predict the market, as the real God of market is customer itself. 

Best of Luck 'Yu'.

You will also receive upto 3 additional shareable invites in the next 3-6 weeks. (fusion!! )

How will sale take place?

Like any other international online release, OnePlus is also strategizing on the simple concept of 'create a value for money handset, release the news in market, arrange some competition for customers and a demand will automatically be created.Amazon is asking for an special Invite and on basis of some random unknown algorithm nearly 20,000 lucky winners will be selected who will be eligible for the sale of 20,000 units of the first batch on Amazon India.

OnePlus looks very serious about India:

But the company looks very serious for its market in India as company announced that India is also the only market outside their headquarters to have a local office and team it had tied up with HCL to offer after-sales service support.

Mr. Vikas Agarwal, General Manager OnePlus, India said:

“will establish the first OnePlus presence outside of headquarters and build a fully localized team to best serve and reach the Indian community.”

Also, OnePlus has set up 25 walk-in service centres in the country which means that it plans to go to offline retailing as well.

The Flipkart.com has already done with its Big Billion Day sale whereas Snapdeal is all set to offer big discounts for the diwali season BOGO (Buy one get one). The arch rivals, Snapdeals & Amazon are already mocking flipkart’s big billion sale event. Snapdeal while stating “For others its a big day but for us, today is no different”. Amazon too has been running “mission to mars” sales in which it dedicates itself to provide exclusive (as all of them say it) discount offers.

(Click here to visit diwali season sale of snapdeal.com)

All three of them have spent millions of rupees to promote themselves on Diwali which include T.V. ad too.

T.V. commercial by flipkart.com

BOGO ad by Snapdeal.com
Its market and it will of course result in war but none-the-less customers are enjoying most in this price war.
The friction of these two retailers are creating sparks of discounts which is indeed good for customers.

So Lets hope for a better diwali.
