Customer satisfaction has been their best marketing medium.
Flipkart very wisely used SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Google Ad-
words.
"No Kidding No worries“
Kids were used to create the adverts to send out the message - if a kid can do it,
you can also do it.
All in all to create a great customer experience.
