Reliance’ other consumers (Fresh, Smart) also have a high tendency to visit Reliance Digital suggesting a strong affinity and branding within the Reliance brands.
 
Has Xiaomi finally elevated itself to a ‘premium’ position?

Though Oppo and Vivo are considered ‘mass’ brands. Xiaomi ranks among the premium & mass-aspirational category!

What really blows our mind is that the Sony and Xiaomi’s consumer base also has significant overlap! Though ‘market-pundits’ have been considering Xiaomi to be mass aspirational and Sony among the premium brands, Xiaomi’s consumers tend to have a high brand liking towards Lacoste, Arrow, Peter England, SuperDry (all considered premium brands in general)!

Though Xiaomi’s consumer base seems to be affluent, it’s curious to see no overlap between Xiaomi and Samsung/ Nokia consumers!

It’s interesting to note that LG & Vivo are considered to be mass brands

And that brand-wise, Samsung and Nokia have a high overlap of consumers. In fact people who have been to Samsung showrooms also have a tendency to visit Nokia’s and vice versa!

Samsung & Social Gen-Z

Samsung also has a highly ‘social’ consumer base. Right from consumers who have affinities to hospitality brands such as Radisson, the consumers have a high tendency to visit malls and theaters suggesting a millennial and GenY heavy audience groups who have a high social nature and spend considerably on entertainment.

The all-brand electronic retailers

Though Adishwar’s consumer base have premium tendencies, Pai International and Girias have middle class consumer behavior with low-branded consumer affinity and tendencies to visit discount stores.

Reliance Digital, the first thing which comes to consumers’ mind when they think of electronics?

What’s most interesting is how Reliance Digital has positioned itself as the ‘one-stop-shop’ for all the products! Sherlock AI’s analysis deciphers a shocking connection that consumers who shop at any of the big consumer electronics retailers (Croma, Adishwar, Girias, Pai International) have a big brand affinity towards Reliance Digital and have visited it in the past. Does this mean that Reliance Digital is an automatic consideration when people are buying consumer electronic items and want to compare prices at different shops? Sherlock AI believes so!

The Mobile Shops:

Among the prominent multi-brand stores, Sherlock AI finds that consumers of Sangeetha Mobiles and Univercell have a strong overlap. Interestingly, consumers of Sangeetha Mobile prefer ethnic and home-grown brands whereas Univercell consumers have affinity towards global brands and relatively premium brands as well.
