    Flipkart launches sell-back program ahead of the festive season

    Mumbai: Flipkart is enabling a “sell-back program” ahead of the festive season. The programme offers a safe and convenient option to sell old phones to network partners. Customers can truly upgrade via the sell-back program by selling their used mobile phones while receiving the right buy-back value in their bank account.

    As a part of this program, an objective 10-grade system will guide the partners in valuing the used phones. The process is seamless and hassle-free with attractive value, quick payment, speedy doorstep pick-up, and a safe and secure sales network for customers.

    The programme was launched following extensive research. If we talk about the data, India is the second largest smartphone market and the fastest growing market for second-hand smartphones in the world. In 2021, around 25 million smartphones were traded in the second-hand market and are expected to rise to 51 million units at a valuation of $4.6 billion by 2025, as per a report by IDC and the Indian Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA).

    Around 70 per cent of people don’t sell their old phones, mainly because of the lack of a trusted platform that can provide good prices, the convenience of selling, and assurance of data safety. With this, the launch of the “sell-back program” is a significant step in that direction. With the acquisition of Yaantra, which has a robust device quality assessment capability, Flipkart has strengthened its foothold in the re-commerce industry.

    Commenting on the launch of the program, Flipkart senior vice president & head-new business Adarsh Menon said, “As the festive season approaches, more people look at options to upgrade and purchase the latest devices and mobiles. Consequently, there has been the emergence of an ever-growing market for re-selling devices that are highly unorganised, unsafe, and difficult to navigate. With the “sell-back program,” we hope to offer our customers a safe, convenient, and environmentally friendly option that guarantees the best value and prompt payment. We have received strong adoption and interest for this program, which witnesses approximately one crore customers every month from across the country. At Flipkart, we consider it a priority to work towards bringing smart tech-enabled solutions to customers and helping in reducing the generation of e-waste, which is a crucial step in creating a sustainable economy.”

It is an event so big that everything else seems smaller, including the celebs themselves!

    In this new marketing campaign, Kiara appeals as a fashion trendsetter and Ranbir’s cool demeanor are poised to accelerate conversations around Myntra’s apparel segments. They will play a pivotal role in connecting one of India’s leading fashion, beauty and lifestyle platforms with millions of new and existing fashion-forward consumers. 

    The 30-second ad film is currently live across multiple leading TV channels, social and digital platforms. The campaign aims to amplify recall for Myntra, which is already synonymous with fashion, beauty and lifestyle, during the upcoming festive shopping period. 

    As a part of Myntra’s multi-channel activation, among the most popular and most loved national celebrities, fashion and lifestyle influencers will form an important network of proponents for Myntra’s Big Fashion Festival (BFF). They will engage with a very large fan base across the country and highlight Myntra’s proposition of biggest brands, styles, products and offers to reach every part of the country and demography, with the central message of the campaign that urges shoppers to look nowhere but Myntra for all their festive fashion needs. 

    Speaking about his association with Myntra, Ranbir Kapoor said, “I am excited to be part of Myntra’s festive campaign this year. Fashion plays an important role during festivities and it’s that time of the year when we all refresh our wardrobes. Unarguably, Myntra’s wide collection of styles during the Big Fashion Festival will make customers swoon over.”

    Speaking about her festive campaign, Kiara Advani said, “My festive campaign with Myntra this year is all about the excitement we share while getting ready to shop during the festive period. My association with Myntra , over the last two years, has made me connect with the youth of the country through my love for fashion.”

    Sharing his thoughts on the launch of the campaign, Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha said, “The Big Fashion Festival brings families and loved ones together, with fashion playing a pivotal role in the festivities. This year’s marketing campaign is to highlight the magnanimity of the Big Fashion Festival, showcasing that no reason is bigger for the attention of people across the nation, not even the much-loved celebrities, than this event itself for the festivity. With this campaign, we aim to penetrate our reach to every nook and corner of the country and strike a chord with the fanbase of much beloved superstars Ranbir Kapoor and Kiara Advani.

Employing the commonly used phrase ‘Diwali hai kya?’ in a manner that hopes to hold the viewers’ interest and give them a reason to smile,’’ shared Lowe Lintas regional creative officer Amar Singh, commenting on the campaign idea.

    The campaign comprises three films, two of which focus on offers through the bank’s debit cards, credit cards and its grab deals platform, and the third one promotes the bank’s flagship home loan product.

    “Our campaign on Dil Se Open Celebrations is firmly entrenched in the cultural relevance of festivals and captures the nuance of festivals as a license to indulge and celebrate to our heart’s content. And we have just the relevant offers across cards, Grab Deals and loans among many others to make these celebrations even grand,” said Axis Bank chief marketing officer Anoop Manohar. “This campaign is not just about offers, it serves as a reminder to all of us to celebrate and be open to happiness, whether big or small, kyunki Diwali roz roz nahi aati.”

    While the campaign will be predominantly aired on television, the brand will also run it on digital, OOH, and other offline mediums communicating offers to its customers. The campaign will also run during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup series, said the statement.
