Talking about the offers, Mr. Kamal Nandi – Business Head and Executive Vice President – Godrej Appliances, said, “Traditionally, the Indian customer makes many of his/her big-ticket purchases - from gold to appliances during the festive season. Due to the current pandemic, consumers have appreciated the value appliances add to their lives – they are seeking a substitute to domestic help for cooking and cleaning, looking for comfort and convenience at home with the adoption of ‘work from home’ format and for the overall health, hygiene & safety of their family from the coronavirus. And while appliances can help in all these, the purchase has to be backed up by viable financial flexibility to the customers in these economically troubled times so that he/she can take home the appliance of his/ her choice worry-free. We have therefore put together a plethora of offers over and above some great new products - this truly is going to be a great time to buy an appliance and that’s why we are calling this the NOW IS WOW Festival! This is a small endeavor on our part to make the upcoming festive season a little brighter for our customers across India. We are already seeing encouraging signs of demand revival. After normal monsoon boosting agricultural output in rural markets and several firms reversing pay-cuts in urban areas, we expect the demand to propel and sustain over the next couple of months.”
Mr. Sanjeev Jain, National Sales Head, Godrej Appliances, added, "At Godrej Appliances, we strive to deliver best-in-class solutions that are designed thoughtfully to meet our customers’ needs and expectations. Our constant endeavor has been to brighten the lives of our customers through exciting new products and offers, year after year. We are upbeat about the forthcoming festive season despite the pandemic and we expect to achieve a growth of 15% this festive season, backed by a string of launches across the categories that we are present in as well as our entry into newer spaces. We have ramped up our production to meet the burgeoning demand and are geared up for it with the ‘NOW is WOW’ FESTIVAL. In putting all this together, we have ensured customer safety is not compromised and are taking the contactless purchase efforts further ahead. From being the first to put out a structured video selling program in the country to enabling our extended network to offer contactless cataloging and transaction facilities to consumers to now putting forth QR code enabled 360-degree product visualization and demo for our products – we are trying out all levers to give consumers a safe and delightful appliance buying experience."
