Samsung Gears The Move Of Technology In Pakistan

There was a time when Pakistan was quite a large market for Nokia mobiles. Most of the population was fond of Nokia phone due to their durability and sound features. During that time Iphone Smartphone were sold unofficially in Pakistan at a very large scale. This is a recorded fact that though Apple did not operated in Pakistan locally but still it had a following at a very high level in the country. People used Apple for their smart phone needs and had Nokia as a second phone.

What has gone different with this trend? What has changed the preferences of the people? The answer to these questions can be summed up in only one word that is none other than Samsung. This Japanese company has given a very tough time to its competitors like Nokia, LG, Sony Ericson and most of all, the giant Apple. The question that comes to everybody’s mind is that what different does the new comer did to grasp the attentions of the potential customers?

This question can be answered after taking Samsung achievements into account. Today one can see Samsung dominating the smart phone market as well as phone market for usage as a second option. Some of the reasons why Samsung is dominating the cellular phone market are discussed as under.

Economical pricing

Samsung technology launched their smart phone at a comparatively less price. This is of the most dominating factor as this country is under developed and everyone cannot afford to have an Apple smart phone. That can also be a reason that people have switched towards smart phone manufactured by Samsung as they provide it on less prices with latest android technology. This is also a reason that today apart from buying new iPhone 4s smart phone people have switched towards Samsung galaxy smart phones or towards Used iPhone Smartphones.

Galaxy craze

Samsung galaxy smart phones have outnumbered all other smart phone brands in Pakistan in the ratio of sales. This is a fact as Samsung provides a wide range of galaxy smart phones with different specifications and pricing.

Adequate branding policy

Samsung has an appropriate branding and promotional policy whenever a new product comes. It advertises its products out n loud to the public emphasizing on the pricing and feature that Samsung is offering. This is not only limited to phone but today Samsung is also featuring is Laptop computer and digital cameras in Pakistan and it is expected that it also would be having a positive response.

Taking these factors under consideration it can be said that in the coming time Samsung will have a much bigger market in Pakistan. In the coming time Samsung will also be having a cool craze of its used products in the market as well. Used Cameras and used computers manufactured by Samsung will also shake the market of cameras and branded computer firms like Dell, HP, ACER and SONY.

The range and pricing smart phones and other phones that Samsung is having at the moment is matchless. Other competitor will have to seriously think about their marketing strategies as today it is not only Samsung with has already threatened their hegemony but Chinese mobile firms are also coming up with many different mobile models over the year. A big example is Q Mobiles Company which is also having a big market in Pakistan.

Pakistan is not a land of smart phones

Pakistan is one of those very few countries who faced Information technology revolution. Today Pakistan’s urban areas are fully equipped with state of the art technology. And every new technology that is being introduced worldwide hits Pakistan as well. Though Pakistan stand out in the race of per capita cell phone usage internationally but when it comes to smart phones Pakistan still lacks the charm. Internationally the boom of smart phones has touched 79% approximately. But Pakistan where approximately 104 million mobile phone connections are active and approximately having the cell phone density up to 65% is still far behind in Smartphone grabs with only 5% density. This low penetration of smart phones across the Pakistan is due to so many factors.

Lack of local carrier’s interest

If we make comparison of Pakistan with any EU country or Britain than there is some enormous price differences between us. Over there all the cell phones are fully adopted by mobile phone carriers and every individual can acquire them on contract basis. An Iphone Smartphone or any of Nokia mobiles cost almost $200 or less, which is approximately 18000 PKR. But here in Pakistan no Smartphone which is 4G and having a latest platform like android, or IOS cost less than 50K. Now that’s a stretch. People do not afford buying brand new smart phones here because they are too expensive, and carriers do not take much interest in this business model as they think that culture in Pakistan does not allow this. Though some companies like Zong, and ufone have taken the first step for this type of cell phone penetration and mobilink also time to time launch different Blackberry models for business class users, but this business model did not had any immense response from public.

No 3G installation

Another big reason for low penetration of smart phones in Pakistan is the lack of 3G networks availability in Pakistan. Most of the smart phones are data centric and give best use with high network data centers. But in Pakistan most of the people haven’t even heard of 3G network and when they grab a cell phone they really don’t know how and why to use it. Though Samsung Mobiles have recently launched a new line of smart phones in Pakistan, and it is also getting subtle response too but in order to increase the numbers it would require more efforts and more time.


Classic culture

Then another factor that is somewhat stopping this smart penetration in Pakistan is lack of interest on touch screens and elegant mobile devices. Well I am talking about majority here, they do not believe on having a cell phone which is not physically very rigid and strong. And the biggest reason of this perception is made by Nokia Mobiles, who were the first market entrants here. Keeping all these things in mind so many big giants like apple, Vodafone and some other companies have not touched Pakistani market yet and launched here officially. But without any doubt Pakistani market is one of the biggest potential markets for any Smartphone manufacturer. And I am not saying this out of the blue if we look around we would see so many people using iphone, and other smart phones which obviously are unofficial versions but still there is a particular niche market in Pakistan which would love to have more and more smart phone companies coming here.

How to save yourself from scam while exchanging online?

Caution: Do not get scammed

This happens to all of us, that when we buy new products we like to dispose off or sell out all the used and old products. So that in return we can get some money for them. And for that we start visiting open markets where we can sell our used products. But it is not always possible for every one of us to bring the products along and visit the market for the purpose of selling. And even the nature of some products is not as such that you could take them along with you in open market. That is why now a day’s many of us prefer to sell our used products online with a lot of ease and convenience. And many of us considering the fact the prices of everything are going very high we prefer to buy good deals online. That is why there are so many websites available where we can put our free ad and get so many reviews and offers for our ad and can easily sell to the people who need those items. But this is not as easy as it sounds. Both for sellers and for buyers. The world is full of scams. And before buying of selling new or used items online there are several things you should know about.

Things that a seller should consider

First thing that seller should do is that he should not accept any sort of online deposit or online cash delivery. The cash delivery for the product must be physical or in other cases do not send off the product until of unless you receive the cash. And in no situation accept cheque or any other monetary tool other than cash. Because so many times it happens that people deal with fraudulent cheque and when they bounce in banks you will have no one to claim. Then while you buy and sell online new or used home appliances, Gaming devices, or anything in that matter the meeting plays a very crucial part. Never meet the buyer in any unorthodox place or a place where you can be unsafe or have the least protection. Preferably such deals should be closed in seller’s residence or someplace where the seller has protection. Because in so many cases it happens that fake buyers snatch the product from seller with inappropriate ways.

Things that a buyer should consider

And if you are a buyer you should be conscious about the products condition. And in any case do not pay for the product until or unless you examine it by yourself. And make sure that you are buying which you have seen online. E.g. if you want to buy a Home appliances, do examine its condition by visiting the seller. And do not give the cash until of unless you are hundred percent satisfied with the product and its condition. Usually the buyer is suppose to be the one to visit the seller and in most cases with liquid cash in hand. So always make sure that you have enough protection or company with you which can help you out in any type of uncertainty. And in best case scenario keep the plastic money with you not the liquid cash. The best way to save you from any kind of further uncertainties related to product or anything else is that there should be an agreement signed between both of them. And this should include the complete names and information of both buyer and seller. The complete specification of the product and the condition of the product and the price of the product. And both buyer and seller should have consent on each and every clause of the agreement.

Say hello to online ad posting

Thank you Internet

Here is a quick question for you! When was the last time you bought something by reading an ad post in your local newspaper? I bet you have not in a long time. I still remember that there was a time when we all use to wait for the morning newspaper to arrive and then we use to read all the news and ads posted there. But now the time has changed. And it has changed quite dramatically. Thanks to internet availability almost everything that once uses to be physical has gone virtual. From communication to travel, from travel to ad posting almost everything is available online. In recent times I have noticed that people have completely neglected TV ads, or radio advertisement and start using online ad posting. And there are so many reasons for this as well. This is an era of rapidity. No one afford slow and steady movement. And as a matter of fact print ads, TV ads, have sort of slow responses. And especially when it comes to selling old stuff. But on the other hand online ad posting is rapid like anything. If you want to buy and sell new or used home appliances, Gaming devices, mobile phones, vehicles, or even your old clothes. This is the place where you should go first.

Junk of one can be treasure of another

Most of the times it happens with us that we accumulate so many old stuff. And then we think that only putting them in a junk yard is the last resort. Because practically it is impossible for us to grab those things and sell them in an open market. Or post a paid ad for them in newspaper or anywhere else. But we must not forget that those things may be useless for us but that can be very useful for someone else. And thanks to free online ad posting websites that have made it incredibly easy and swift. By following couple of easy and relatively convenient steps you can clear your whole junk yard. And not just these you can earn some money as well from things which you once thought are unsellable.

How to do it?

The first thing you need to do is to find a best free online ad posting website. You may find bundle of these websites as this is one of the very uprising trend now a days. But you have to filter a lot of them and choose one where your ad will get the maximum response. And to do it you have to check the website ranks or already posted ads and their responses. It will give you the brief idea that whether it is a good option for you to post ad here. Once you choose a website now start creating your ads by choosing a product category. E.G. if your product is of daily home use select Home appliances, and then choose the sub category like freezer, TV etc. Then while posting adding pictures of your product is very important and I would say is essential. Ads without pictures do not get response at all. No matter what condition your product is in, must post it’s photo. Because it is a virtual selling source that is why picture is the only thing that actually describe the product. And one picture has more worth than your thousand words in description. Once you have done it all now post your ad and be preparing for selling all your used material. One thing is for sure. Online buying and selling is the future and right now is of great convenience. So it’s about time when you should start using it.

Buy Best deals, buy Online

Do not snub your desires:

We are living in an expensive era. We cannot buy anything that we desire. No matter it’s a mobile phone or a vehicle, so many times it happens that we like something but due to its high price and our low budget we prefer not to buy it. But is it fair to snub down our desires? No it certainly isn’t. And due to scam selling and worse condition of different products we normally fear to buy it from open markets. But you have to say thank you to the internet, because now we have so many online portals from where you can buy your desired products and not necessarily new. There are so many internet portals where sellers from around the country post their ads of different products and you can buy from them, without involving any third party into the deal. And with no commission involved. This is amazing right?

New way of buying:

In recent times there are so many new websites are coming into existence where people post their free ads. And buyers like us who want something can go there and search for their desired product and buy it. The most amazing thing on these websites is the number of choices you have. If you want a product of a certain type, you will find a lot of people selling the same product. Plus every seller must put the pictures of the product so it is easy for you to choose among different options by seeing that which product is having the best condition. E.G. you want to buy a gaming device or some home appliances you will have several options for each category.

Don’t burn your calories on buying things:

By buying online every buyer can save a lot of time and headache. Because it is never too easy to visit the open markets and then visit every single shop to buy a product. And then you are not completely sure that whether the product is in good condition or not. And mostly in open markets you will face a lot of professional salesmen who can easily put their magic spell on you with their great experience in this field and will make you buy the bad products. But when you buy from these web portals you will find out that on the other hand there is a user just like you. Who want to sell its product and will cast no scam with you. And mostly these sort of exchanges turn out to be so friendly exchanges.

No third party:

Since these web portals does not involve any kind of middle man involved or any extra commission that is why most of the time you get a lot of good deals here. Plus all these ads posted on these websites are somewhat personally negotiable with the sellers. So you can always bargain for a certain price.
These web portals are getting immense response and today so many sellers all around the country are selling their products online. Because It provides two things straight forwardly one is convenience and the other one crystal clear transactions. If in past you wanted to buy something but you just didn’t it’s time for you to check out one of these websites. Because so many people buy and sell used or new gaming devices , home appliances, mobile phones, computers and what not on these websites, you never know you might get yourself a best deal.

We all love Gadgets

We are living in 21st century. A century of technology and rapidity. Whatever we want to do, some kind of apparatus is always there to accompany us. We are surrounded by machines and gadgets. And the best part is we enjoy living in this era. Whatever we do, we don’t feel thrilled until of unless there is some machine or gadget involved in it. We all daily watch TV, we daily use computer, we daily use ovens, etc. So the crux of the story is that we are bundled with machines all around. That shows our unconditional love towards machines. But as I have said that this is 21st century the more we love gadgets the more they are available in market. And sometimes it gets impossible for us to choose between different types gadgets that how to buy them. Here are few tips by using which you can buy the best gadget.

Look inside your pocket:

First thing first, what is the first thing that you consider while buying anything? Yes, that’s price. Because it is directly linked with your budget. You first think that how much you should spend on whatever you are planning to buy. For example you want to buy a home appliances , and more specifically you want to buy a television. The first thing you should know about is that which brand is coming in your budget bracket. And then you should consider that what that brand is offering. If you are satisfied with the number of offerings. Then it’s the best case scenario. But if it does not then you should see the offering of that brand which comes slightly above your price bracket. And if that’s suits you, you must increase your budget bracket a little. Because it is giving you the value for money. And another tip in this regard is that try to search products online because sometimes you can find best deals on the websites where people buy & sell new and used home appliances , gaming devices, Mobile phone accessories etc.

What people are saying about it?

The other thing while buying a gadget you should consider is the product review. If you have selected a brand or a product out of so many brands you must know that how much people rate it. There is a huge community on internet which works entirely on writing reviews of different gadgets. And the buyer can easily have a very good idea about the product’s features and how those features work by reading the reviews. E.g. if you want to buy a gaming device and you have decided to buy a certain brand you must know that what people are saying about this certain brand. There is another benefit of reading reviews, buyer get to know about the product’s detailed functionality.

Does it have warranty?

The other thing that every buyer should keep in mind is that your gadget must have warranty. Warranty is considered very essential when we talk about gadgets. Sometimes what happened is that we buy a product but after a while it loses its certain functionality. And repairing it locally can snatch its quality and resale value. But if your product is with warranty your product would be repaired by the professional and authorized Lab of the respective company. And your product would not lose its quality, functionality, or resale value. No matter you are buying a new product or a used product always prefers products that have certain warranty to provide you safety.

Tired of collecting old stuff? Let’s rescue ourselves from old stuff

Get your junk yard cleared:

We daily buy things and use them. And after a certain use we start thinking of buying new things. And normally waste the old things. And put them in junk yards. But do you really think it is a good idea? No it is not. There is a famous quote which says. ‘Junk of one can be a treasure of another’. So why waste old things when you can sell them to people who need them, and get value for your products? But we normally have concerns that carrying old stuff with us and wandering here and there at markets does not worth it. We prefer to waste many things or gift them instead of selling them just to save ourselves from the tiresome work of selling them in an open market. But thanks to internet and the classified websites. Buying and selling new and used home appliances, gaming devices and what not, is now as easy as eating a piece of cake. In this article I will tell you that how by performing couples of easy steps you can get rid of old stuff and make money.


Select the best free classified website:

First of all go on internet and search for a top rating classified website. And make sure that this website has a lot of daily visitors and high ranking. And by viewing already posted ads there you will have the idea that whether visitors here respond to ads or not. And also make sure that posting ads on this website is free. Until of unless you want any special kind of advertisement of your product. In such matter websites normally charge the seller. But that too should be a nominal price. And for that make comparison among different websites. And also make sure that this whether this website supports the type of product you are willing to sell. Because if you want to sell Home appliances make sure your classified website has the home appliances category.


Picture it well:

Once you have selected a web site to post an ad .Take a picture of your product. You may write thousands of words but a picture can describe a product more efficiently than your words. And while posting the pictures with your ad make sure that you have captured your product from every relevant angel. Because if you want your product to have sudden and quick response picture should be real, recent, and comprehensive.


Good Description half selling:

And after taking a picture of your product add the complete description of your product. And make sure that it includes all the features and attributes that your product has to offer. Do not miss anything. Because detailed description will gather your more response than low description or no description at all. E.g. If you want to sell and old gaming device make sure that you describe it well according to its current condition and its features.


Categorize it:

And once you have described your product perfectly, select the category very carefully. Because if you will put your ad in a wrong category your potential customers will not be able to locate you while searching for your product. Since you are not in the right category. E.g. If you want to sell an old fridge, or a washing machine. Make sure you have selected Home appliances category.


Be a little flexible:

Be a little flexible when it comes to pricing. Overpricing your product can cause you low response. Plus your product might take a lot of time to sell. And in some cases it won’t get sold at all.
