The Era of ‘Discounts Marketing’!

Yesterday; we published an article highlighting the magnitude of discounts being offered on the purchase of a new car by the OEMs. While we were astonished the amount of money being pumped in by all auto manufacturers to acquire new customers; we were also surprised that these discounts were also aggressively promoted on the media platforms (say Newspapers, E-mailers, etc). We have collated the paper ads released by these OEMs recently to highlight the matter –
