Xiaomi also tries to achieve three E’s and thus reduces its cost of production and increases the revenues. First E is for Economy which refers minimising the cost of inputs and perform at a low price (Chambers and Rand, 2011).

If it fails to deliver as per its standards, the other batch of the product would not get any customers and their feedback would ward off any new users also. In order to maintain the quality, Xiaomi has created its image as a dependable and high quality producer and thus it is able to save on the costs and quickly cater to the problems of customers.
