Shopping Angels – A New Experience to Consumers

Now the consumers do not need to worry about shopping in a metro city which is completely a new place to them. Shopping angels are there to help them. A shopping angel is an agent who can guide you in shopping. They know about the availability of different products, the places where they are available and the price levels. Shopping angels is the latest trend in customer support and is launched by Blue Foot Cultural Consultancy in Bangalore. There are almost hundred shopping angels working either full time or part time in this consultancy who are helping the consumers in shopping. Actually these shopping angels are having close association with most of the malls and shops where they are having a discount for the products. They are charging around 750 to 1500 rupees per day for their assignments at Bangalore and around 4500 rupees for other cities. These shopping angels are familiar with the nook and corner of the city. They will guide you to the locations where you can find your requirements like saris, bags, sandals, electronic items and so on. There are fashion designers, engineers, architects and artists among these shopping angels. If you want to buy oil paintings, the consultancy will arrange an artist to assist you in your shopping. Or if you want to buy saris or kurthis or accessories, you can get the help of a fashion designer.
I met a shopping angel when I was shopping at the Forum mall in Bangalore. She was assisting a family in shopping costumes and accessories for the marriage of their daughter. Initially I thought that the shopping angel is a customer care person of the shop as she was guiding them and at same time interacting with the sales executives at counters. I just asked the angel whether she is from some event management company as shopping angels are a new concept to me. She spent two minutes with me to explain about them. At the end of their shopping, I asked that family about their experience in shopping under the guidance of a shopping expert. They told me that they got a discount of 25000 rupees for their total purchase of 2 lakh rupees. That family told that it is the fourth time they are coming to Bangalore for shopping and by listening to the bluffing of hotel receptionists and taxi drivers, they have wasted a lot of money and time. But by spending around 1200 rupees for that angel, they could complete their shopping within one day and saved a lot as they got better discounts for their purchases. These angels know exactly all the shopping locations where you get items at reasonable rate, whether it is antique items, leather items, interior decoration items etc and are well known about the easiest and less traffic roads to such locations which will help you save a lot of time. After hearing their experience, I decided that if I am going to shop for more than 30000 rupees, definitely I will take the assistance of a shopping angel.
