As Valentine's Week begins, Zomato-owned rapid delivery grocery shop BlinkIt has added a 'Single Mode' to its app.?
Users can switch to 'Single Mode' to browse curated products for parties with friends, binge-watching, and self-care products.
When the "Single Mode" is turned off, flowers, cards, chocolates, presents, and sexual wellness products are displayed.?
Meanwhile, the app has experienced an increase in orders ahead of Valentine's Day, with the business saying that it has already sold more roses than on Rose Day 2023.??
The introduction of the additional capabilities indicates that BlinkIt intends to capitalize on the expanding trend of online gifting. The company faces competition from other online retailers, including Amazon and Flipkart, but it hopes that its emphasis on quick delivery would give it an advantage.??

It's still early days, but BlinkIt's new features look to be popular with clients. Albinder stated that 20% of all orders placed since morning have been through its "Order for Someone Else flow".
