Question arises: Despite having a better service and hence a more loyal fan base.. Why hasnt FK able to provide discount coupons OR loyalty points till date..??
Pretty odd not to be offering discount coupons even while having articles similar to lsb but at higher pricings.
Maybe we need Amazon to speed up things to make FK fall in line and start some obvious practices.

Stopped buying from Flipkart long back. %
Books - HS18, indiaplaza
Phones - ebay, sulekha, saholic
The above are much better and almost consistently have the cheapest prices for the said items. Especially HS18 has discounts similar to indiaplaza and almost always has a 100 off 500 resulting in 50%+ discount on books.
RIP letsbuy Have bought 3 mobiles, a landline, 1TB HDD, a yonex badminton racquet and a oven from them at huge discounts. Great discounts but ultimately that led to their unsustainable business model i guess. IINM people might have stopped purchasing once the discounts ended.

This post explains it well
Decoding the Promo Code | Flipkart Blog
And I kind of agree, their prices are decent enough. Coupons mean that prices for non coupon users will go up. This way everyone gets an OK deal instead of one person getting an awesome deal and the other person getting a bad one

That is called as a hole in the brain.
Just a nicely conjured statement to keep people asking from loyalty/Points scheme. The example is just a few post above. Members stopped ordering books because the pricing was better on other sites. Now if the site had the points scheme in place, older members would have redeemed them to bring the difference a lot closer and perhaps would have gone ahead despite higher pricing keeping in mind their excellent courier service. They would have earned points again so that ll offset the pricing a little more. Overall, it will provide a good enough incentive to people to keep purchasing and be eligible for point redemptions. Its a simple logic and they should have taken advantage of their logistics.
That's what failed business men who don't know reality think. i used to buy from japan a lot from one retailer. every time i bought something i'd get 10 percent of paid money back to my account as points. Those points could be used towards shipping expenses or buying something new. points system has been in japan from a long time and actually helps in getting back customers. that system was good in way that each point = 1 yen, not like how they give 1 point for every 100/300 rupees spent and say you need 1000 points to buy something which in reality would cost Rs400 outside in shops. Indian companies are top most in art of fleecing customers. Every company wants to take advantage of customers it seems :|
wtf - it was published in 2009....lol
