Lockdown is one of those words that has now entered our DNA, unfortunately not for pleasant episodes but because of the pandemic event that shook the entire globe. Precisely because of the worldwide blockade, users fond of technology have not been able to make scheduled purchases related to smartphones and / or other electronic gadgets, curbing their impulses also due to the slowdown that the various e-commerce stores have they are imposed for obvious reasons.
Xiaomi has therefore decided to take the situation in hand by proposing a local solution, dedicated to India, by establishing the Mi Commerce portal where users can make their purchases of Xiaomi brand products. So far nothing in particular if it were not that the Chinese brand gives the opportunity to choose its product from a retail store while always remaining within its home.
Xiaomi India: the Mi Commerce platform for making purchases in Lock Down has been inaugurated
The process is quite simple: users who want to buy any Xiaomi product can send a WhatsApp message to the Xiaomi Business account number + 918861826286 → choose a store nearby → select a product → express your interest in purchasing → access your Mi account → send the order. The shop will check the warehouse inventory and call the user to confirm the order and delivery times. Alternatively, users can also visit the website https://local.mi.com/ and follow similar steps to submit your order.
The only limit concerns the possibility of choosing and therefore purchasing only 1 product at a time. Users can pay directly through the delivery which is generally guaranteed within the day. Xiaomi also promises that the delivery staff will guarantee a hygienic and safe delivery of the product.
In this regard, Muralikrishnan B, Chief Operating Officer, Xiaomi India said:
Mi Commerce is a platform specifically designed to meet the needs of our offline retail partners in the current COVID-19 scenario and is Xiaomi's first step towards a longer-term Omni channel strategy. This special initiative was created to ensure ease of purchase, protect partners and customers, and promote business continuity. However, we are particularly proud that this is a future-oriented experience that enables our users and retail partners in the post-COVID world. We hope the Mi Commerce solution can help enable offline retail businesses to grow and ensure ease and convenience for our customers.
