Snapdeal, Amazon come back with another shopping festival

Just after a month of its October 6 sale, Snapdeal has returned with 'Savings Day' sale on Thursday. The e-commerce website has chosen a day when the rival Amazon India has also started its day-long shopping festival. However, Amazon's 'Appyness Day' sale will be available only to the app users.

It's unlikely that the Savings Day sale will be as big an event for Snapdeal as the October 6 sale, when the website claimed to have recorded sales of Rs.1 crore almost every minute. The earlier sale offered huge discounts on most products, while the Savings Day sale will have fewer offers for the users.

Under the Snapdeal Savings Day shopping festival, the e-retailer is offering discounts on an hourly basis. With a clock ticking on the homescreen, users will know when there time to buy a certain product will be up. Despite the one hour window, most products are going off the stock pretty fast.

The discounts offered by Snapdeal range from 10 per cent to up to 70 per cent on different products. Apart from discounts on products, the retailer is offering 5 per cent and 10 per cent cash back for HDFC and Standard Chartered card holders, respectively. Also, you get Rs.50 cash back every time you make a purchase from the Snapdeal's app.

On the other hand, Amazon in a bid to lure mobile users has offered huge discounts plus a chance to win 11 months of free shopping of up to Rs.11,000 per month. The move may very well increase the number of mobile app users and of course, buyers on the Amazon.in.
