Online consumers have been spoiled for choice recently with Snapdeal promoting a different category on its platform, during its festive sale every Monday. From electronics to penthouse apartments, anything and everything is being sold thanks to the power of ecommerce.
Since Monday, Snapdeal started allowing its customers to register to purchase Maggi noodles, after the online marketplace tied-up exclusively with Nestle recently. Maggi noodles was temporarily banned in India due to health and safety issues, but after the ban was lifted the company did not waste any time in attempting to claw back the losses it sustained over the last five months in which its popular product spent in the wilderness.
Lucky for Nestle, the appetite for Maggi noodles did not go away and it is reported that 60,000 Maggi welcome kits were sold by Snapdeal within the opening 5 minutes of the flash sale, without even using Bollywood brand ambassadors. A flash sale is an ecommerce selling model where a deal is offered on a single product for a limited time period. The consumer behaviour witnessed was another step in the right direction for the impulse food and exclusive online grocery category. IOS recently reported on the phenomenon, which you can read about here.
