Myntra’s End of Reason Sale records 50 pc rise in orders
The four-day shopping event saw Myntra making deeper inroads into the Tier -II and III towns with a majority of its new customers coming in from these locations.
Myntra, the fashion apparel and lifestyle products' online marketplace registered a 50 percent rise in orders in its latest End of Reason Sale (EORS) as compared to last year's sale.
A part of the Flipkart Group, Myntra holds EORS bi-annually, and this year, it hosted its 11th edition from December 22 to 25, amid an economic slowdown in the country.
However, none of this seems to have had an impact on the sale, as the four-day shopping carnival saw 2.85 million customers placing 4.2 million orders for 9.6 million items.

Among the metros, Delhi-NCR topped the list of contributors to the sale, while Jaipur was number one in the list of Tier-II and III cities. Myntra Insiders or members of Myntra’s loyalty programme contributed about 57 percent of EORS revenue and registered 6.4 lakh new Insiders.
