The global COVID-19 pandemic has not only brought about a halt in our everyday lifestyle but has also significantly impacted the economy worldwide. Along with the apparent uncertainty that has crept into our lives, bringing up the Indian economy is going to be quite daunting. One such industry that has been majorly affected by the coronavirus outbreak is the blue-collar industry. Not only has it put stress on the mental health of people, but has also cost many individuals their jobs. Let’s discover some statistics mapped by QuikrJobs through analysis of the platform trends to get a clearer picture of the impact of COVID-19 on the blue-collar industry. 

Different elements of blue-collar industry affected by the COVID-19 crisis 

• The overall availability of blue-collar employees has equally been affected like that of the accessibility of jobs. 

According to the report by QuikrJobs, there has been a very prominent downfall in the blue-collar jobs and applicants amid the lockdown. Nonetheless, there was a 108% expansion in applications and over 36% growth in job availability in April.

• The outbreak caused an extensive unemployment rate to rise throughout India. 

Furthermore, another very infuriating and saddening impact of the crisis has got to be the unemployment rate which has drastically increased. QuikrJobs‘ analysis says that there was a rise of over 48% of the total applicants per job. Thus, the increment in applications is indirectly proportional to the unemployment rate. The report evaluated that the increase in unemployment in metros was 65% and in non-metros was 43%. In the month of May, several industries encountered an increased rate of job applicants for every job. For instance, data entry job applicants increased up to 115%, driver job applicants up to 122%, delivery executive job applicants up to 139%, marketing job applicants up to 179%, teaching job applicants up to 108%, and sales job applicants up to 187%.

• Employees and reverse migration.

According to QuikrJobs, the overall share of job applicants hasn’t altered specifically to non-metros or metros. While most migrants have traveled back to their hometowns for the sake of staying safe, most of them wait to get back to the urban cities to get back in the marketplace as they have no other sources for serving their families. Due to this, there has been a reverse migration of the employees across the nation. While there were 44% of employees in metros and 55% in non-metros before the COVID-19 outbreak, this statistic has altered to 43% in metros and 56% in non-metros amidst the lockdown.

• The lockdown gave rise to wage deflation. 

Another very obvious factor noted by QuikrJobs is that several employers are offering deflation in wages. The jobseekers, on the other hand, are withstanding from lowering it dropping any salary expectations. QuikrJobs also suggests that this factor may change as per the pandemic’s duration. 

• Enhanced work from home job preferability.

Unlike earlier, work from home has become the core lifestyle of every individual and might continue to remain the new normal. In a nutshell, the industry encountered about a 9% rise in the overall jobs accessible, and a similar increase in employees wanting to work amid the lockdown. Thus, work from home jobs have unquestionably profited and will remain profitable after the pandemic. QuikrJobs suggests that only 15% of work-from-home jobs were available before the coronavirus crisis, along with 11% job applicants. However, this number has shifted to over 24% job availability and 20% job applicants. These statistics can be divided into jobs of- data entry at 17%, content writing at 44%, BPO at 45%, and data collection at 16%.

You can read more about such insights in a report based on the analysis of platform trends by QuikrJobs here – the impact of COVID-19 on the blue-collar industry.

QuikrJobs is India’s leading platform in the online hiring of blue-collar and entry-level white-collar employees for varied industries across India. QuikrJobs is built around the ethos of trying to help every individual cope with the daunting effects that the pandemic has caused and it endeavors to unite everyone in this extremely petrifying time so that not only can jobseekers find jobs, but the economy can rise as a whole.

Quikr Bazaar is widely recognized as the industry leader in the pre-owned goods category in India. While the current pandemic outbreak has left the whole world under tremendous uncertainty bringing everything to a halt, Quikr decided to survey 200+ customers from all across India, including cities such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Pune, Cochin, Chennai, Kolkata, and many more to get a glimpse into the product buying preferences and consumer behavior in India. 

The rise in demand for essential products

While the outbreak may have brought about an enduring impact on consumer behavior as a whole, putting an end to indulgences and satisfactory accessories to become substantially economical is next to impossible. According to the survey we conducted, we encountered consumers who are chiefly interested in buying various products up to a certain percentage. For instance- TVs, sofas, fridges, washing machines, beds, and others were voted at 23%, 12%, 13%, 11%, 9%, and 22% respectively.

The lockdown has opened up doors of realizations for most of us. With the shutting down of malls, airlines, cinema halls, public transports, and much more, we are learning to become more independent, but being independent has become a necessity. While there is an exceeding demand for cooking products and household accessories, the above statistics recorded from the survey suggest that every household requires certain home appliances and furniture now more than ever. 

What does the shopping budget of an average individual look like? 

While most of us may be saddened and might find it quite daunting to get used to the new ‘normal,’ staying at home, not going to shopping complexes or movie plazas, there has been a significant impact on the shopping budget due to lockdown. As most of us already know that the lockdown has been economically frustrating for every earning individual and the country as a whole, the shopping budget has undoubtedly dropped down to an extent. From what we can conclude through the survey, about 48% of the shopping budget reduced completely, 29% was impacted minimally, and over 24% had no impact. 

Decision-making insights for customers to purchase products

Apart from the above-mentioned statistics, we also looked into various components, including the timeline by which customers are planning to buy the product, the reasons for purchasing the products, and the significance of customer testimonials. It might pique your interest that over 15% of customers bought household products every 7 days, 12% in 2 weeks, 14% in 30 days, and 22% in 6 months. 

Furthermore, the pandemic gave rise to several reasons for buying these products: household accessories, clothes, and apparel. Our survey suggests that common reasons for purchasing different products were- 35% customers purchased items as per their actual plan, 23% customers purchased items as they were upgrading their old accessories to new ones, 14% due to relocating their place, 10% due to additional reasons, and 5% were newlyweds. 

We also noticed that over 80% of customers suggest that customer testimonials are indispensable before purchasing any products. While 15% of customers did not prioritize this element, 4% did not consider it. Lastly, we also surveyed our customers based on the critical fundamentals of buying refurbished products. Over 53% of customers were intrigued by refurbished items due to additional discounts and lower prices, 33% due to instant home delivery and installation, 31% due to better warranty, 29% due to buy-back guarantee and convenient returns, and 28% due to meticulous descriptions of product usage. 

Easing your post-lockdown shopping experience 

The idea behind conducting this survey was to understand the prevalent buyer sentiments in the market and help brands fine-tune their approach to meet consumer needs. Driven to provide the best and safest shopping experience to our customers, QuikrBazaar takes every possible measure to ensure safe and sanitized home deliveries and retail shopping experience at our outlets. Precautionary steps like using facemasks, complete sanitization of showrooms, alcohol-based sanitizers, and contactless deliveries are taken at all times.

Father’s Day Celebration

With almost everyone’s social media overflowing with posts and stories about their fathers, Father’s Day is a celebration of the person who is there with us every step of the way. Our first hero, our foremost role model – Dads have given us advice every time we have felt uncertain about our life decisions. In the current scenario of COVID-19, a lot of us are either away from our parents or are lucky enough to be with them – so, celebrating their presence in our lives became imperative for us to participate in this with our employees!

We asked our employees to share their pictures with their Dads and a sweet message to display their affection. We received numerous entries and turned those into e-greeting cards that our employees could dedicate to their fathers. We also took a few of these entries and made a short video to share a glimpse of our e-celebration which you can check out here –

World Environment Day 2020

With the alarming number of environmental crises all across the globe, it becomes our primary responsibility as individuals and as a company to make a difference in helping save the environment. Having pledged to take measures that encourage awareness towards eco-friendly purchase decisions and practices that foster care for our environment, Quikr recently collaborated with Centre for Environment Education (CEE) to analyze and measure the environmental impact of re-used products. The core idea was to study and measure quantifiable results towards carbon footprint reduction on an individual level when customers choose reused products. While this not only helps decrease waste going into landfills, refurbishing products increase their lifecycle and also significantly cuts down the impact of the supply chain on the environment, all while giving customers a better value for their money. 

Over the last few years, Quikr, with its strong online platform and 50+ offline retail stores, is enabling this trend. With a wide range of unboxed and refurbished products, the amount of water saved per year along with saved trees or carbon emissions for these products sold on Quikr is a total of 204 million kg of carbon emissions or 10 million trees. Along with this, Quikr is also saving 5 billion liters of water annually.

This World Environment Day 2020, in an effort to appreciate choices made by our customers to make sustainable decisions and help the environment, we gifted them a green surprise – a lucky bamboo plant as a gift that grows and brings luck and nature into their homes. After all, we are as much in the business of spreading happiness as we are in the business of giving back to the environment and giving value-for-money to our customers. This collage of some of our happy customers with their plants is such a delight!

Just as smartphones earned popularity for succeeding to fit the World Wide Web into the tiny, limited space of your pockets, smart TVs are taking most of the household spaces by storm. A smart TV is the most recent member of the gadget family, but as one would guess, there is a world of differences between the two, and the adjectives speak for themselves.

• What makes smart TVs increasingly popular

Most of us prefer a smart TV because firstly, it satisfies our audio-visual curiosity. Secondly, we get to reach out to a wealth of online resources and services from the confines of our home, or even better, from the comfort of our couch. From streaming shows to checking out news or playing online games, you get to utilize a host of features associated with modern smart TVs. But, if you got yourself a smart TV only recently, and haven’t managed to get acquainted with its functionalities, then get caught up already!

• Make the most out of your smart TV with an excellent internet connection.

The Internet powers the smartness quotient of smart TVs. On-demand streaming is an option these days for which a stable and high-speed internet connection is a necessity. Find out how capable and efficient your router is and place it within the ideal range to enjoy buffer-free video streaming on your 4K enabled and 1080p smart TV screen!

• Go wireless for a smooth experience.

The connectivity options of smart TVs support both wired and wireless accessories. To make the best use of these features and for optimum user experience, the best option would be to pair your smart TV with a wireless keyboard. Doing so will make typing way easier and smoother than before. For gaming, a wireless controller would be handy. No more wires to make a mess!

Alternatively, by using Bluetooth functionality, you can connect your wireless headphones to your smart TV for private listening.

• Wipe the storage space of your smart TV often for effective functioning.

Imagine your smart TV as a mid-range smartphone but with an enormous display. Despite its many features, a smart TV has one point of concern, and that’s limited storage space. Most smart TVs are pre-loaded with a variety of apps and features that take up considerable space, thus leaving the users with cramped storage.

Your smart TV might work like your phone, but you cannot use it like one. Over time, the limited data storage space might get subjected to app data pillage, and slow down your smart TV. App stores and the internet are teeming with all kinds of apps that you might find suitable for your smart TV, but installing every app that you’d probably not use regularly is a waste of critical storage space. So, pay attention to your smart TV’s internal data storage space and ensure to install and delete apps accordingly. You don’t want a congested memory messing with your gaming experience.

• Use an offline media library option to watch content offline.

Losing your internet connectivity in the middle of a thriller can be downright upsetting. But, what happens to your smart TV after your internet gets disrupted is a matter of choice. You can put your smart TV to rest, or if you wish to watch the rest of the thriller, then you can watch the stored version of the movie offline. With USB ports an added feature of most smart TVs, you can store data in an external storage device and watch the content offline.

• Remember to conduct a software update periodically.

Some smart TVs have over-the-air update compatibility, but if your TV doesn’t support this feature, then you can download the latest software, store it on a USB drive, and upload it on your smart TV. Always keep an eye out for the latest updates so that your device is in tune with the times, and its functionality isn’t compromised.

A smart TV might be smart by its name, but it becomes extra smart when you use it precisely. Exploit every feature of your brand new smart TV to the maximum and optimize your experience with these handy tips!
