How Amazon and Snapdeal Hijacked Flipkart's The Big Billion Day Sale

Flipkart's The Big Billion Day Sale
While the Flipkart's The Big Billion Day Sale turned out to be an 'Out of Stock' Day for customers,Amazon and Snapdeal did their best to hijack Flipkart's sale and get users to their site.

While Amazon took on Flipkart in online world only,Snapdeal took one step further to hijack the Flipkart's sale in offline world too.

On 4th October,2014,Amazon registered the catchphrase of the Flipkart's sale as domain name bigbillionday.com and started redirecting it to their site amazon.in .This stole many visitors from Flipkart.Also,Amazon bought the keyword "Flipkart" for the day from Google Adwords so that any webpage containing the keyword "Flipkart" was showing ads for Amazon's products.

Snapdeal took one step further and also took on Flipkart's sale in offline world.They gave a full print ad in response to Flipkart's full page ad in 'The Times of India'.

In online world,the hashtag #flipkart is trending on Twitter due to backlash from unhappy customers taking on Flipkart.Here Snapdeal hijacked by making its trend popular by hashtag #CheckSnapdealToday.

 This clearly shows the Indian e-commerce is now a battleground for these 3 retailers and it's now Flipkart vs Amazon vs Snapdeal !

My SoundMagic ES18 Black Earphones Recently I bought Moto G for my daily use. One of the daily use for which I bought it was listening music. Don't think I am an audiophile or something like that. I needed to listen music only during commuting to college. But I was dissatisfied with the quality of bundled headphones with Moto G in the box. It was not any more better than this earphone  although it is good as a budget earbud; the only difference was colour as mine were white in colour. The problem with these cheap earbuds(not to be confused with 'in-ear monitors' [IEMs]) is that they cause pain in ear, sound poorly detailed and, because of their small size and lack of seal within the ear canal, they are also often woefully lacking in bass response. Just Like Bundled Earbuds with Moto G So that started the search for in-ear-headphones (also called in-ear monitors, IEMs, earphones, ear canal headphones) for me.
