As Eid-ul-Azha approaches, online cattle markets are experiencing a surge in popularity among both buyers and sellers. These platforms offer hassle-free facilities and attractive free delivery options, making it convenient for customers to purchase sacrificial animals from the comfort of their homes.
Diverse Offerings and Price Ranges
A report from a private news channel highlights that online platforms are showcasing a wide array of animals in various colors, sizes, and price ranges. This diversity caters to the increasing demand for sacrificial animals at different price points, ensuring that there is something for everyone.
Avoiding the Heatwave
One of the primary reasons buyers are turning to online markets is to avoid the heatwave-related risks associated with visiting traditional cattle markets. “Going to the cattle market and roaming around in a rush of people carries the risk of any heatwave-related infection, which is why we decided to buy our sacrificial animal online,” said a buyer.
Price Variations and Online Convenience
The price of cattle varies based on demand, weight, and local market supply. “The price of cattle differs based on demand, weight, and supply in the local markets,” explained an online seller. Buyers can easily browse and purchase animals from home, avoiding the ongoing heatwave.
Detailed Information and Reviews
Online platforms offer detailed information on various animals, including cows, goats, sheep, camels, and buffaloes. Buyers can click on the category they prefer to get comprehensive details. “We are offering reviews of goats and cows, allowing our website users to evaluate the pictures and see their breed,” explained a seller in Karachi.
Social Media: The New Marketplace
Social media has become a vital selling point for online cattle marketing. “The present surge in online marketing is a prime example of how investors are using the internet as a major marketing tool,” said an IT expert. A farmer added, “Due to this social media trend, I have witnessed growth in my business.”
Benefits of Online Selling
Selling animals online has several advantages over traditional methods. It saves farmers time and money while providing additional positive returns. “No wonder online auctions and live video streams of sales are booming,” noted a seller.
Embracing the Digital Age
The agricultural sector has embraced the explosion of social media and internet marketing, leading to an increasing number of online livestock ‘buy and sell’ sites. “We have been incredibly inspired by how people are utilizing these sites during heatwave times for important religious occasions,” said a young girl.
Customer Concerns
Despite the benefits, some customers remain cautious. “I have already booked a sacrificial animal through an online website, but I am not sure whether it would be the same as it appears in the pictures,” shared a concerned customer.
The rise of online cattle markets ahead of Eid-ul-Azha highlights the growing trend of digital convenience in the agricultural sector. As more buyers and sellers embrace these platforms, the future of livestock trading looks increasingly digital and efficient.
