"GIFTMATE" - A living e-Magic!

I am sure you must be knowing about GIFTMATE if you vote on your favourite (even not so favourite) TV shows or if you know me!

Everyone is amazed how and why giftmate guys are shelling out e-money. Is this all for publicity purpose? If yes, dont you think they have gone too far?

Well, i think its not just publicising their own product, it is also about popularising e-shopping trends. Although e-shopping is available for long time now, but still it is not that rocking as it should be. Reason is simple, e-shopping sites do not follow WYSWYG (What you see is what you get!). This is my personal experience, though it is not that things turn out bad, sometimes actually you get things worth a lot more.

But you need to think all that if you are talking of YOUR money! When its upto GIFTMATE, its free! Who cares what you get! I got tempted and bought a vaccuum cleaner for 175 that turned out a total rip-off! But it gave me fair bit of attention from freinds!

As of the question, WHY?
Its all publicity! If they gave advertisment with SRK dancing, probably people would never log on to their website. Now if they give same 10 crore to audience instead of SRK, now people are atleast getting a demo! If they sponsored a Cricke series, after shelling out 100 crores, what is the gaurantee that anyone would ever type in giftmate.co.in in their browsers!

What is the future of giftmate?
My personal opinion! Its a total flop show! Consider this, if i buy a giftmate voucher of 250 from my credit card, why should i not purchase directly the product from my credit card in first place? Why is this medium in between?

Point is:
Vaccuum cleaner: Rs. 175
2 Movie CDs: 75
