It’s Christmas for the online consumers in India which means that <keyword id="36208" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="festive-season">Festive season</keyword> sales are coming around! 
 Online marketplaces <keyword id="6354742" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Flipkart">Flipkart</keyword>, <keyword id="18635" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Amazon">Amazon</keyword>, and <keyword id="541988" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="SnapDeal">Snapdeal</keyword> are ready for their annual festival sales starting the first week of October with Amazon. ShopClues and Paytm are also set to flag off their festive season sale around the same time. 
 
Flipkart's Big Billion Days 2016 and Amazon Great Indian Sale will be the most anticipated, just like every year but there are some things that have changed. 
 
• Flipkart has introduced ‘Your wish, our offer’ where products that have been ‘wish listed the most number of times will have bigger offers on them. After the 2014 technical glitches, we hope the sale-ing is smooth for this e-commerce player. 
 
• Amazon’s Great Indian Sale is scheduled for October 1- 5 and Amazon have announced Curtain Raiser Deals, where customers can choose between two groups of products - the most voted will go on sale at 12am on October 1. 
 • Snapdeal’s <keyword id="188" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="Diwali">Diwali</keyword> sale is based on it’s rebranded tagline 'Unbox Zindagi' and starts from October 2nd till October 6th. Discounts up to 70 percent are promised as part of the <keyword id="3703614" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="snapdeal-unbox-sale">Snapdeal Unbox Sale</keyword> to the consumers. 
 
• What will be interesting to see is the amount of discounts and cashback that are offered this year compared to last year, since as reports suggest that the GMV in e-commerce has seen a decline of 20-25% in the first six months of 2016. 
 • We have also seen a trend of loyalty services offerings amongst the biggest players in the form of Flipkart First, <keyword id="758541" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amazon-Prime">Amazon Prime</keyword> and Snapdeal Gold. This ensures that the customer is given better service in terms of delivery or discounts, enabling the buyer to be loyal towards one player for all their shopping needs. 
 
• This also means that they are likely to spend big due to hooks in the form of extended offers of warranty, extra discounts after more spending and next-day deliveries. 
 • So far, so good. Amazon Prime is a leader in this category as the model has been tried and tested in the US. The crème-de-la-crème of the online shopper might enjoy these subscription services, but most <keyword id="25903" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indians">Indians</keyword> still like their products delivered for free. It’ll be interesting to see how Amazon adapts Amazon Prime for the Indian market. 
 
Bottom Line- This will be one heck of a season for the e-commerce giants to fight out since Indians remain discount-driven because they have been spoilt by the offers. Not only do they want the best, the want it at the best price in the shortest time possible and that is an ideal situation that many e-commerce players are trying to achieve while remaining afloat.

So who’s winning in the numbers game? Well, there’s no clear winner yet, but each e-commerce player has made some commendable moves. Let’s find out.

The 2016 festive sales- The winner so far

The online market in India is buzzing with festive offers and electronics category has been one of the most popular categories across all major online shopping destinations. And Chinese smartphone maker, <keyword id="874458" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Xiaomi">Xiaomi</keyword> managed to sell more than half a million smartphones in three days from 1st to 3rd October selling two phones per second. 
 Xiaomi products including <keyword id="2415488" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Redmi">Redmi</keyword> phones, Mi phones, wearables and power banks were made available across leading online shopping sites <keyword id="6354742" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Flipkart">Flipkart</keyword>, Amazon and <keyword id="541988" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="SnapDeal">Snapdeal</keyword>, during their online festive sales. 
 Redmi 3S (along with Redmi 3S Prime) was the top-selling product on Flipkart during its Big Billion Days Sale while Redmi Note 3 was the best selling smartphone of Amazon’s Great Indian Festival sale. Xiaomi products like the recently launched Mi Band 2 and 10000mAh Power bank were also finding many takers making the products some of the most selling products within the electronics category on Amazon. Xiaomi made a major mark on Flipkart’s Big Billion Day Sale that began on 2 October, with smartphone sales starting on day two of the festival. Flipkart sold more than 800,000 smartphones in one day and Xiaomi contributed significantly to the overall sale numbers. Smartphones available included <keyword id="854541" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="MI-4">Mi 4</keyword>, Mi Max, and Redmi 3S Prime. Xiaomi’s Redmi and Mi phones made it to the best-sellers lists of Snapdeal’s Unbox <keyword id="188" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Diwali">Diwali</keyword> Sale too. 
 
Manu Jain, India Head, Xiaomi said, “More than six months of rigorous planning and hard work has helped us set a new benchmark in the industry. Last year we sold more than half a million phones in 30 days during the month of October, and this year we were able to achieve a similar number within three days.” 
 Somewhat similar to <keyword id="6354427" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Apple">Apple</keyword>, Xiaomi too bank on their ‘Mi fans’ to cheer the company and lap up their products and this October Xiaomi has a lot more reasons to celebrate!

It’s going to be a very Happy Diwali for Xiaomi as it comes out winning from the online festive sales

There is crazy discount on products on all major <keyword id="6357762" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Online-shopping">online shopping</keyword> portals and people are unstoppable this holiday season as sales are expected to hit $94.71 billion. Yes, the big billion. 
 But this time around it’s going to be tougher than before for all you guys out there as there are new players in the fray. Internet penetration in the tier 2 and tier 3 cities have increased recently and it looks like the smaller cities have bitten the bug and are hooked to the online shopping fest. An <keyword id="6355988" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Assocham">Assocham</keyword> survey-cum-analysis has noted that products worth Rs 25,000 Crore will be sold this festive season with major sales happening in tier 2 and 3 cities. With the increase in better infrastructure in terms of logistics, broadband and Internet-ready devices smaller cities will be a big bet this festive season for online shopping portals.

The shopping portal came fifth in the Google search in these cities. Shopclues had launched offers like 'Lowest Price Online Challenge' and ‘ItneKumMein’ which has helped the site increase sale by 80%.

Festive season is here and most of us are happier about the festive sales that are going to break out than the festival itself. Most of the e-commerce websites are gearing up to make the most out of this festive season. Like all the other rivals, <keyword id="541988" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="SnapDeal">Snapdeal</keyword> too is all set to grab as much as it can. 
 So as to be all prepped for 2017, Snapdeal has announced its Unbox 2017 sale and is offering heavy discounts on mobile phones. The e-commerce platform is offering the older version of <keyword id="6354427" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Apple">Apple</keyword> <keyword id="6354606" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="iPhone">iPhone</keyword>, 5S for Rs 18,999 while <keyword id="3983056" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="asus-zenphone">Asus Zenphone</keyword> 3 and LeEco Le2 are up for grabs at Rs 12,999 and Rs 11,999 respectively. 
 
The e-commerce platform is also allowing customers to opt for exchange of old phones with the new ones. 
 
The website is also offering a huge sale on segments like clothes, home, electronics, and luggage are the ones with the biggest discounts with some brands even offering as far as 80% on their products. 
 Few brands in the travelling category are offering up to 80% discount. <keyword id="624" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Women">Women</keyword> can shop for footwear and handbags and get upto 70% of the discounted stuff, parents can buy clothes for their children for 70% less on some of the top brands while even toys and games category has items with 60% discounts. 
 The e-commerce player has also set up the ways to fight the affect of demonetisation. Snapdeal has tied up with e-wallets and banks to dole out further attractive offers. For instance, shoppers can avail a further 10% cashback on payments through FreeCharge or the same discount on paying with <keyword id="6355975" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Axis-Bank">Axis Bank</keyword> cards.

Here’s what you can look out for in Snapdeal’s end of the year sale

Having been overtaken by <keyword id="6354743" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amazon-India">Amazon India</keyword> earlier this year, e-commerce company <keyword id="541988" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="SnapDeal">Snapdeal</keyword> has gone for a massive brand identity overhaul. The rebranding will see Snapdeal unveil a new logo with the new vermello colour along with a new tagline, "Unbox Zindagi”. Highlighting the philosophy behind the brand re-positioning, <keyword id="219793" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kunal-Bahl">Kunal Bahl</keyword>, Co-founder and CEO, Snapdeal, said, “Snapdeal will be the platform that will enable users to unlock their aspirations. That is why we are moving the narrative to the users and to their desire to upgrade to a better life. With this new positioning, we also focus on the next phase of our growth, as we seek to engage with the next 100 million online shoppers from all parts of an increasingly connected India.” Snapdeal is backed by SoftBank Corp, Foxconn and Alibaba Group¬, the country's online retail market has been estimated to grow at a slower pace compared to key rival China. In a report released earlier this month, Kotak Institutional Equities estimated gross sales or the value of merchandise sold on ecommerce platforms, referred to as GMV, to reach $28 billion by 2020. With Amazon India overtaking the company and <keyword id="6354742" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Flipkart">Flipkart</keyword> still at top position, Snapdeal will have to make an impact if the company wants to move ahead in the sector. 
For the new look, design and feel, the company engaged London¬ based DesignStudio, the lyrics of “Unbox Zindagi” have been written by Prasoon Joshi himself and soundtrack has been done by Shankar, Ehsaan &amp; Loy. Rohit Bansal, Co-founder Snapdeal, said “Our new logo is visualized from the perspective of the happiest moment for an online buyer i.e. when she receives her ‘box’. We understand that every box that we deliver contains not just a product but represents a new opportunity, an aspiration or the start of a journey for our consumers. Our entire new brand identity right from the brand mark to its extensions, reflects the box – a representation of untold potential and possibilities.” 
Clearly, the e-commerce segment has become highly competitive and in order to survive the cutthroat environment companies will have to revamp. While a new brand identity at this point can give a long term benefit, the change is also ahead of the festive season which is usually most lucrative period for the online commerce companies.
