Are you a ‘Bechara’ husband who is tired of hopping and shopping with his wife ? Or are you a ‘Majnu’ who just doesn’t know where from to buy a gift for her ? Or are you someone who has sworn to god to only make 11th hour shopping plans ?
Then Hold on! as you are at the right place,reading the right thing.
Food for Thought
Ever felt how difficult can it get for shoppers to buy expensive designerwear online without touching and trying it ?
(‘Darr sabko lagta hai, Gala sabka sukhta hai’)
Here’s showcasing for the first time Lazyshopr.com, a smart solution to all the above problems
Our story
The idea arose when I saw my sister struggle to complete her ‘wedding-shopping’. She would visit boutique after boutique to find her bridal lehenga, but only to get disappointed with the collections. I told her why doesn’t she try something online . Pat came the reply, ‘I am too apprehensive to buy something so expensive, without trying.’ There I saw an opportunity and nose-dived to find solutions. To my shock, I barely found someone working in this direction. I needed a product that could combine the benefits of the online and the offline shopping.
The product was an ‘online window-shopping platform’.
Though it was difficult initially to convince stores about anything different then eCommerce model,my perseverance and persistence ultimately won.( Wills Smith – If you want something, Go get it . Period.) I successfully got some of the better known brands of the city on board with us.
Now as the product prototype was ready it was time to get traffic to the website and test the idea. This was a real challenge because as an engineer I never had any exposure to marketing. Nevertheless the spirit was there, I requested all friends to change their WhatsApp statuses, Chat statuses, social media statuses some did some didn’t. Whoever did was enough to rocket our websites traffic from 0 to 500.
I could only recall SRK’s famous ‘Kisi bhi ko puri sidhat se chaho, toh puri kayinaat tumhein usse milane mein lag jaati hai’.
I am aware we need significantly more traction to be successful, but this milestone has given us enough confidence to go out loud and make some noise about the idea and product. As we look forward to achieve more, its a humble request to all the readers of this post to share your views and help us grow.
