Kathmandu. Shopping online has made shopping easier. This will save you time as well as money.
Compare enough before shopping for any goods from online platforms. Also, keep an eye on the discount plans announced by these platforms on special occasions. Most online platforms announce discount plans for sale on certain months and dates of the year. By keeping yourself aware of such dates or months, you can take advantage of promotional discounts.
On the other hand, before shopping for any goods, you can also make a wise decision by comparing the prices of the same brand goods kept for sale on different platforms.
For example, goods are being made available at a cheaper price on other online shopping platforms than daraz’s platform, which is more preferred for online shopping among Nepali consumers.
Daraz’s sales business is higher than other online shopping platforms, so consumers should have the opportunity to buy goods at a cheaper price, while some items in daraz have been priced for sale at a higher price than other digital marketplaces.
For example, green brand WiFi router UPS is priced at Rs. 10,000 in daraz. It has been fixed at Rs 2,799 and the total amount of goods in GV is Rs. Available at Rs. 2,399.
Additional discounts on vendor’s website:
When shopping for digital electronic devices, you can benefit from promotional discounts and gift schemes from time to time if you visit the digital marketplace as well as the website of the concerned manufacturer or seller directly.
Digital payments instead of cash:
You can avail additional discounts by making payments through debit or credit cards rather than paying in cash. Banks and financial institutions offer an additional 5 to 20 percent discount benefit for consumers who pay through credit or debit cards to encourage a culture of shopping and spending.
Before choosing a credit card:
Even before you get a credit card from any bank, has that bank been offering cash discount facilities on online shopping? It is wise to apply for a credit card only after knowing how many platforms are offering discounts. By doing this, you can get more money than the annual service fee you have to pay for the credit card from the consumer of this discount facility.
If you earn a regular income and have the habit of spending with restraint, then it is useful for you to use a credit card for online shopping. Nowadays, some commercial banks have provided free credit card facility. Nabil Bank has announced to provide free credit cards for life to customers applying for credit cards by mid-July 2019. Earlier in December last year, Laxmi Bank had distributed free credit cards for five years under the Digital December campaign.
