US-based smartphone maker InFocus announces its milestone achievement in India. Within three months of launching its first mobile handset exclusively on Snapdeal, InFocus has already sold 1 lakh units of its stellar M2 and M330 models on India’s largest online marketplace.
What makes this landmark all the more path-breaking is that InFocus operates with a very small team in India and has spent a negligible amount on marketing efforts. The thumping success of the brand, therefore, is all thanks to the word-of-mouth publicity and reviews it has received. Another interesting testament of the swiftness with which InFocus has been embraced by the Indian customer is the fact that the demand for the M2 and M330 mobiles was thrice of the inventory available.
Those who bought the phone loved it and expressed their excitement through ratings and reviews across platforms. This has spurred sales for the InFocus M2 and M330 immensely. The M2 alone received 21k ratings with an average score of 4.4, the highest for any newly-launched smartphone in 2015 across any of the major e-commerce platforms. In fact, 20% of InFocus M2 users bought M330 for their friends and family members a clear demonstration of their satisfaction and brand loyalty.
