Failure Scenario
Failure Scenarios:
• When Snapdeal rolls out Worxcycle , it is great strategy of Snap deal in attacking its direct online competitor Amazon ,
washing machine & exercise cycle sellers . There’s a huge chance that competitors brings up a strategy to defend by
promotional offers like discounts, buy one get one free. It may also copy the idea and invest more in R&D to create a new
innovation in the field.
• There is a chance of failure when Snap deal fails to deliver the product on time and also the damage in transit would affect
the product’s sale. Snap deal must take much care towards channel of distribution and safeguard the product.
• Traditional people may not be convinced and continue to follow old ideas of washing cloths and exercise cycle.
• Working with a small team can lead to the misconception that these people are going to stick with you forever. If those
workers are especially integral to your business or especially close to you, that feeling only intensifies. Then, when one of
your star employees or co-founders leaves, you suddenly feel that the entire company is failing
• Work on different marketing strategies to gain audience, Find out obstacle within the company by conducting internal
surveys and solve them.
