By
siliconindia news bureau
New Delhi: Security vulnerabilities in big cities have emerged as a blessing in disguise for e-shopping firms. The upcoming festive season of the year would witness more shoppers buying online due to security issues. The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ASSOCHAM) has estimated a 180 percent surge of e-shopping in the metros during the season. Products that would gain popularity in e-sales include gems and jewellery, books, accessories, apparel, gift products and others. ASSOCHAM had received feedbacks from various traders across the country to reach this conclusion.
E-shopping in October-November 2007 had cost shopkeepers in major economic hubs Rs 5,500 crore, says the Chambers It is expected to surge 175-180 percent during Dussehra and Diwali this year. Traders will lose Rs 15,000 crore to online shopping, it adds.
Sify Technologies Consumer Infrastructure president Naresh Ajwani said, "With the kind of environment prevailing in the country, shopping online is the only way through which customers can shop peacefully."
According to Videocon Group of Industries chairman Venugopal N Dhoot, the number in percentage increase for e-shoppers in 2008-09 would touch at least 50 percent in Mumbai and 60 percent in Delhi. "E-shopping in Delhi was 30 percent and 28 percent in Mumbai during 2007-08, with maximum e-shopping taking place in electronic gadgets, apparel and design purchases, railways, air and gift items," he said.

1: The consumer Behavior for online shopping is
entirely different than the offline shopping.
Here the consumers are actually looking for
more of efficient services clubbed with
product, but the mindset of retailers or
online sellers is just to sell the product
with pathetic customer service.
So unless the mindset of sellers does not change no e shopping website will work out in India, and they will burn their fingers with e commerce.
And Regarding Vijay's feedback, u sell vegetables or consumer durables , customer service and right mind set is must from the top to bottom level of management.

2: today if someone looks towards e-shopping and
e-marketing then these are strategically
developed medias of customer relationship
management. and when it comes to emerging
industries then retail sectors are the first
to line up. so most of the companies are
trying to sustain and maintain their market
shares with these kinds of marketing tools.
Never the late are the companies putting
their efforts to delight their loyal
consumers. its good to know that retailers
have taken advantage of these medias to
benefit consumers. so here does the
opportunity lies for budding entrepreneurs to
set up outsourcing services to small, medium
and large organised retailers.

3: I thing Electronic Shoping will not survive
in India too more. The reason is that few e
shoping websites makes the buyer fool. They
shows different product in website in very
attrective manner but after buying the
product comes off from packet being
different. Once a time i buy mp4 player from
rediff shoping website, when the product
delevered to ma and when i opened the packet,
i surprised. The product delevered to me was
quite different from the product which i had
being saw in rediff shopping website.
Therefore, i request consumers, Don't go to e shopping, always go to shope, touch and feel the product U desire to bye, go for bargain, understand all tesms and condition e.g. warrenty/gurrrenty ect and also compare tow or more product to bye better one ant than tender the momey.
Thanks

4: Hey guys....
i have been reading your posts regarding shoping online. ITS TRUE.
in coming days people will shop online rather than to go out during festive seasons and this report is for the festive season & only for few months & if the consumer gets a + ve response from websites then this trend is likely to follow in near future.
Miss Bindu Rathore, ye koi saag sabji bechane ka kaam nahi hai ki Venu gopal ne ek dam se decision le liye, it takes lot of time to make concrete stratey, what he is talking about is data, & definately he will come up with a website for online purchases

5: Its all confusing... security is always a
major concern in e-shopping, how it could
'force' shoppers to buy online!!!
I believe the focus is that people are too terrorized to go out for shopping (chances of blasts in shopping areas?) and prefer to stay at home n shop... that is awful

7: Hey, Security concerns abstain the consumers
to shop online, as most of the consumers are
reluctant to share their credit card details
on shopping websites,.
Its the Low price factor, Time constraint and tempting deals which attract today's consumers to shop online,
One more thing, I m wondering is why Mr,Venugopal Dhoot ,Chairman of Videocon ,is talking of e shopping, From Last 12 months he is not even able to decide , whether he should go with a full fledged e commerce enabled website, how can he comment on e sales and e-marketing.

8: I think the title of the article is
misleading. It is not security concerns that
is driving the demand for E-Shopping. It is
more of Internet awareness and convenience.
If you can order a product from home without
traveling, then why not ?
