Cash Vs Card


Cash Vs Card: Card is winning race in emerging markets



Convenience, security and better shopping experience playing key role in making card winner over cash. Electronic payments can revolutionise the way people pay. The increasing benefits of electronic payments worldwide can be seen in their rapid growth across many emerging markets. According to the World Payments Report 2010, non-cash payments in Russia rose 66 percent between 2008 and 2009, while China (+29 percent) and South Africa (+25 percent) also posted large gains. 
While India has seen similar growth numbers in debit cards (+42% in FY2009-10 compared to the previous financial year, cards still account for less than 5 percent of consumer spending.



Why pay by card?
Increasing card usage often depends on increasing consumers’ awareness of the benefits of using them. These include:
Convenience and control: Cards allow people to shop and manage their spending without the need to carry cash. Cardholders can choose between using debit cards which gives them the security of knowing there will be no interest payments on purchases or using credit cards for greater flexibility.
  • Greater security
  • Time Saving
  • Enables online shopping
  • More payment options
  • Better consumer control

India is already making rapid progress in developing electronic payments. Several industry-leading technology applications are already widely used to improve customer service and security. For example, Indian banks send SMS messages to clients after they have made an ATM withdrawal so that cardholders get confirmation that a transaction was carried out on their account. Value-added applications like this encourage more people to pay with cards.

Virtual Shopping Mall on Facebook


San Francisco-based Payvment, which makes software that can turn Facebook pages into storefronts that accept a credit card or eBay's PayPal online payment service. Payvment has been starting 250 new Facebook retailers daily; that's up 42 percent since August. Its stable of more than 40,000 retailers offers more than 750,000 items, including all-natural cosmetics, handmade jewelry, and T-shirts.

Shopping Mall app helps solve a problem with e-commerce on Facebook, which is that each seller was operating individually and Facebook users didn’t know all the Facebook pages that offered products. For example, if a Facebook user wanted to shop for Converse sneakers on Facebook, he might have gone to Converse’s Facebook page, but he wouldn’t have known there were other merchants also selling Converse on the social network. A search in the Shopping Mall would show all the Converse products available for sale from all merchants using the Payvment app to sell in Facebook. 
The new app is marvelously straightforward: Like any other mall, the Shopping Mall brings all these sellers under one roof having Payvment storefronts and categorize shopping experiences by seller, items, bestsellers, recommended items, besides, makes it easier to browse, research, and buy goods, all without leaving the social media network.
“The Shopping Mall on Facebook is where online shopping gets truly social,” said Christian Taylor, founder and chief executive officer of Payvment.
“We are confident that the Shopping Mall on Facebook will be the place people go to discover new brands, great deals, and the products they and their friends want.”
The platform will allow users to shop around different Facebook storefronts with one universal cart and unlike traditional malls, Payvment's Shopping Mall also includes an individualized section that shows you what you and your friends are “liking” on the mall, and get recommendations based on their Facebook interests.
Furthermore, the most inventive feature of the platform is probably Payvment's universal shopping cart and checkout feature, which allows the user to add items from different stores to the same cart and go through one checkout process.
A “Your Cart” feature holds on to your saved items in a universal and updates pricing and inventory information. So basically, you can add a $300 crystal necklace from Molly Sims' storefront to the same cart to which you add a hand-knitted baby blanket from a private seller in Spokane, Washington, and you can buy both in one checkout process. Facebook users can also comment on any item and post comments to their News feed.

What’s there for e-commerce in Union Budget 2011




The Union Budget has a couple of interesting notes for the digital industry –
·         Concessions for mobile parts and accessories remains in force for one more year
·         While software including games and music will have to pay less service tax.
Rural broadband also gets a mention, but overall the budget was largely neutral for telecom and IT.

National Innovation Council under Sam Pitroda has been set up, with each state having a council for innovation. This will surely create a favourable atmosphere micro entrepreneurship. A strong stimulus for India grown e-commerce products to reach to masses and create village level entrepreneurs. E-commerce has enabled Indian manufacturers and retailers multiply its’ reach to global markets. With Indian online stores on internet, the retail sector is looking very promising. Online retail has seen 30 per cent year on year growth in a 27,000 crore e-Commerce market in India."
Another positive for e commerce is overall allocation of Rs. 58,000 crore for Rural telecom and broadband services. This will trigger better reach of internet to rural India. The government plans to provide rural broadband connectivity to all 2.5 lakh Panchayats in three years. With broadband penetration in rural areas there is two way benefit opportunity for rural India.
·         Rural manufacturers will get bigger reach to the market.
·         Reduction of Intermediaries- which ultimately increase margins for rural manufacturers and farmers.
·         This will bring access to rural India, best trade practices, updated knowledge, quality products and profitable business offers."
Retail pundits were discussing and debating on Multi Brand FDI in Retail since long. But Finance Minister did not take any interest in it. MNCs in e retail such as ebay, ibibo.com & HS18 are waiting to open up FDI so that they can shift stock n sell model from vendor based model of e retail.
Rise in service tax will make things stiff for e-commerce.

Overall budget is neutral for IT, telecom and internet industry. There are few positives like broadband service for rural India. Hopes from Mr Sam Pitroda now. Expecting innovative steps from his National Innovation Council.
