What’s going on ??
 Oligopolistic Market

Online retail market on boom.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
The Biggest disadvantage for small or upcoming online retailers is:-
 Enormous competition of attracting the customers because of
presence of marketing giants such as :- Flipkart,OLX and snapdeal.
 For sustaining, small online stores need to adopt some innovative
strategies.
Strategies they can adopt to prosper
 To build a brand image
A few larger e-commerce sites are big enough brands to receive some direct traffic.
If more than 95% of visitors are going to leave a site empty-handed, you can’t afford
to pay much to get them on your site in the first place.
Hence at the start aggressive marketing of the company is required.

Strategies they can adopt to prosper
 Make it easy
Functionality and ease of use should be top priorities in website and app design, help
should be readily available, and the checkout process should be simple and secure.
If shoppers run into slow load times or confusing/ difficult-to-use pages, they could
abandon their digital shopping carts prior to purchase.
Strategies they can adopt to prosper
 Establish credibility and exceed expectations
To ease concerns about product quality, retailers should offer quality assurance
programs that provide recourse for items damaged in transit or that do not meet
consumers’ expectations.
Strategies they can adopt to prosper
 Consider alternative approaches to
ordering and distribution
Experiment with formats and features that
boost basket size while adding value for
customers.
Retailers should consider alternative
approaches to distribution, such as working
with third-party specialists.

Revenue Model
 Advertisement Revenue:
This is considered to be the main source of income for E-commerce sites. Companies have tie-ups
with these E-Commerce sites in order to reach to larger customer base of these sites.
Example: Motorola has a tie-up with flipkart for selling its mobile phones Moto E, Moto G and Moto
X and because of this Motorola has created a good customer base for itself. Similar case for
Xiaomi and many other mobile firms.
 Commission model:
This is the main source of income as in our case. We in exchange of providing the orders to the
retailers will demand a certain commission which will be the main source of our income.
 Space on the website:
Most E-commerce sites give spaces to different firms for the promotion of their product.
 Email - Marketing:
Firms can give away certain items through email under the name of E-commerce sites, this will
help them to connect with the customers.
CONCLUSION
 It is a bad assumption that small online retail stores won’t prosper in presence
of the bigger firms as these biggies were also the “small players” at the time of
their establishment.
 As we all know, Flipkart started as an online venture for selling books but now
it’s one of the biggest player in terms of online retailing.
 Therefore with an innovative and effective B-plan ,and with implementation of
clever marketing strategies, any of the small online retailers can prosper in any
competitive scenario.
THANK-YOU . . .
