Round the clock shopping malls could soon be a reality in India
Though the trend of all night shopping is quite popular among consumers of the US, certain parts of Europe and Dubai, it's yet to gather momentum in Indian market.
THOUGH THE trend of all night shopping is quite popular among consumers of the US, certain parts of Europe and Dubai, it’s yet to gather momentum in Indian market. As an experimental initiative, the country’s largest retail house, future Group organized a 48-hour non stop shopping event in ‘eZone’ , it’s consumer durable and retail chain. Motivated by the overwhelming response from the buyers, the company is planning to hold similar events in it’s various outlets spread across the country.
 
The company earned an impressive Rs.60 crore from eZone’s ‘Zero Margin 48 Hours Non Stop Offer’. In this first of it’s kind effort, the offer was available in 36 stand alone stores of eZone and in later stages the offer was extended to eZone’s online platform. The company’s policy to lure the customers with ‘Zero Margin’ attraction, which brought the prices lower than in normal days, was successful. In a similar kind of venture, high end apparel and accessory store of the Aditya Birla in Lower Parel, Mumbai, launched an ‘All Night Duty Free’ shopping event.
 
But at the same time organizers are also admitting that this new experiment is turning out to be challenging task for them attributed to infrastructure and logistics hurdles. Providing adequate parking space and security is a big issue to be tackled by the organizers and apart from that they are also facing staff crunch. In spite of all these they are optimistic about the future success of this new phenomenon in Indian retail industry with the ever changing taste of the consumers.
