Campus Bazaar
Keeping up with these trends and the current needs of the Millennials, Graphene Campus Connect has launched an app named Campus Bazaar. The app acts as an agent between customers and the brands and is very user-friendly.

Campus Bazaar helps millennials get the best deals from brands that they want and not the deals that are pushed on to them. Consumers get the best offers from brands on the basis of demand aggregation.”
Campus Bazaar specifically targets young millennials such as college students since they are a critical market for online shopping.
According to the company, some of the popular product categories on the app are electronics (mobile phones, mobile phone accessories, laptops, computer peripherals); scientific calculators; lifestyle products (clothing, bags, shoes, accessories); entertainment (events, movies, concerts, gigs), gifting (teddy bears, gift cards, chocolates, flowers, cakes), bikes, helmets, bicycles, etc.
