TimesDeal.com has set a new record with 70,000 mobile recharge deals in a day. The Portal offered users a special mobile recharge deal on 9th May, 2012 that allowed users to pay just Rs 50 and get a mobile recharge voucher from Paytm, worth Rs 100. The deal was a hit with users as it doubled the value of their money.
The deal sold 70,000 orders in a single day, a new record in terms of number of online orders in the e-commerce space in India. Timesdeal saw a huge traffic surge, with more than 3,00,000 unique visitors reported for that day. The rush was huge and demand was so intense that the number could have easily surpassed 70,000 if the portal did not have to shut the deal for the day.
Rishi Khiani, CEO, Times Internet Ltd said, "Offering maximum value for money to customers is core to the deals business. Therefore, the primary focus of TimesDeal has always been to offer users such relevant high value-for-money deals. The repeated overwhelming response bears testimony to this."
