Why sell the 10400mAh Mi Power Bank at only RM 36?

So, are the Mi Power Banks a gimmick? Not so. It’s in fact a very brilliant piece of marketing strategy from Xiaomi. Even during their early days of marketing promotion, Xiaomi’s co-founder, Mr. Li Wanqiang was asked on how much they should sell a can of coke. And he replied, ““If we do it, we do it fierce. Make it 0.1 yuan!”
In the same way, selling Xiaomi’s 10400mAh power banks at RM 36 is really “fierce”. And no doubt, they definitely sold out their fifteen thousand units of Mi Power Bank within a few hours, just like how their flagship Mi 3 quad core smart phone, going for USD 300, sold out within minutes of introduction.

Would Xiaomi’s fierceness cause them to continue selling their power bank units at a loss, to serve as a marketing tool for their smart phones? It is hard to tell, but for now, it is a working strategy. By selling at a loss, they create a word of mouth marketing, just like how Air Asia did when they started and needed the exposure to disrupt the market and gain market share.
Do consider the following figures. Let’s say if Xiaomi makes about RM 100 to 150 per hand set, while loses RM 20 to 30 per power bank sold. But by selling their 10400mAh Power Banks at only RM 36, they create a massive of the word of mouth campaign for free. With that sacrifice and the fact that they still sell about 10,000 pieces of smart phones each round, it rounds up to making them about RM 900k gross profits each time they do so.

In comparison, competitors like Samsung does roadshows and advertises on billboards, magazines and takes full-page colour spreads in newspapers, which bumps up the marketing costs. Of which, it would make it harder for Samsung to compete in price. This compounds Samsung’s problems of shrinking sales as they get pounded on the premium market by Apple, and on the low-end market by Chinese handset makers.

Xiaomi do have limited stock as its still have to compete to source chips and parts from the same source as Samsung and others. If they sell by normal channel, they still have only 10K stock at hand but with flash sales, they can wipe their stock out, create publicity, creating "artificial" demands (yes limited quantity can pull in customer that otherwise would not consider it) and finally save on distribution profit sharing AND lowered the price at the same time. It's great marketing with limited stock.

Both of them original, bought from trusted phone dealer earlier. Actually the spoiled one comes original from my S4.

The new charger, I just buy from a phone store, now that one don't know original or not. It does comes with a huge Samsung note2  box and the seller assure me its original Note 2 charger.

It looks exactly like my other 2 charger tho and the plastic covering sticking around the charger itself looks the same as the other Note 2 charger I have (the old undamaged charger definite original, take from Note 2 phone as my old seller does not have additional S4 charger stock, thus take from one of his existing phone).

Yep, I still a tiny bit worry if its really original coz cannot differentiate them even if they're fake.

They might not be the best, true, but I doubt they will explode like those oem brands sometimes do. My s4 adaptor is not often used, still spoil after a year but the note 2 adaptor has been in constant used (charging everything from phone, pb to kindle), so far working well. So it really depends on luck but branded original stuff should have better qc than the unknown oem. That is why I'm willing to spend more for it.

What makes you think that they don't have 10,000 powerbanks?

Don't believe? make yourself a trip to China and make your own OEM brand of powerbank, you can order as low as 100,000 unit of powerbank/month if you have long terms business with their manufacturer. You don't believe because you never do buy and sell business before.

When your cable spoil, is it not charging or it is charging at much lower rate....need to know too coz if not charging I can detect straight but charging at inconsistent or lower rate, have to really monitor the batt charging rate and if unsuspected would never know until it spoil the batt or whatever.

I got the same message when I check the tracking number. Today morning when I try to look again, it says delivered yesterday at 2PM! I did not receive my item. Called fedex and they will call me back later. Will take at least a day. Checked with colleagues, nobody receives anything.. ;(

Anyone facing the same problem??

is there any way to make payment without 1USD charges?   

my pb also stuck at FedEx 2 weeks ady... 

maybe due to raya... alot parcel stucked there..
LOL.. no wonder... i'm using 1 amp adapter.. charge overnight... 1 bar only.. i tot my charger/ PB problem 

Okay. Noted.. means I need to charge whole day to get it full... 

Can we use iPad's 12A charger to charge the 10400mah Mi PB?
