Food Tops The List
The Food vertical seems to have enjoyed the most preference during Diwali season, with the maximum number of coupons being redeemed for the category. The percentage usage increased from 21% to 58%. This change can be attributed to cheaper Exclusive offers. Delivery aggregators like UberEats, Zomato, Swiggy, and others are taking the industry by storm.
Recharge Goes up!
The Recharge segment has seen a steady rise in coupon redemption rate, going up by 9% during Diwali 2018 when compared to Diwali 2017. The data suggests that more people prefer to look for super-saver tariff plans during the festive season.
