Ankit Nagori – Chief Business Officer, Flipkart, said, “The average cycle in India for replacing a phone is 18-24 months and we are witnessing similar trends in the television category. Customers are continuously looking to upgrade to the next new-age model, but disposing off the previously owned models has always been a concern. The Flipkart Exchange Programme offers customers a holistic solution to the whole process of looking for buyers of their old products and buy new products.”
“With ‘Big Exchange Days’, we will help customers upgrade to their latest favourites in a quick and convenient way. We foresee this programme to be a big hit amongst our customers and expect it to drive 20% of the sales in these categories by the end of this year.” Ankit added
For smartphones, the IMEI number, screen and overall condition of the products will be checked by the delivery executive at the hand-to-hand exchange point. Whereas, for televisions, the delivery executive will have to mount it and check the working conditions of the product. For other devices like laptop, washing machine etc, the delivery person switches on the product to check if it is in good shape.
Exchange programme is available across a range of smartphone, tablet, laptop, television, refrigerator and washing machine brands and customers can avail this on app, desktop and Flipkart Lite.
Exciting offers on a wide range of brands will be available during the ‘Big Exchange Days’ every month.
