And many more can include. If you will analyze details of rivals, you will not find such unique services offering by Lenskart. For, Lenskart it must be significant to fulfill services satisfactorily in order to build brand equity because ‘Service’ is itself brand image of Lenskart. Consumer can identify brand only because of satisfied services.

Another good strategy is that Lenskart has also been incorporated corporate consumer’s testimonial where consumers are belongs to top management level and they have given their review in order to get trust. http://www.lenskart.com/ (You will find review at bottom of home page)

In E-commerce, overall I did analyzed that most substantial & challengeable part is to “Convince and Convenience”. It is not easy to ‘convince’ consumers through online, therefore companies are offering various services as well as input trustworthiness elements apart from price & quality and trying to convince by eradicating risk factor. Whereas today consumers are looking for abundant ‘convenience’ apart of brand, quality & price. And, majorly consumers are buying likely (age group 18 to 35 years) various products through online. Today, E-commerce trend is growing because “Convince & Convenience” are being balanced.


Convince + Convenience = E-Commerce!
