Agents and distributors are cost effective way of expanding any business rapidly, more so for small and medium enterprises who can not afford to invest in pan-India sales offices. A network of agents/distributors across India can significantly grow sales at minimum investment. However, locating reliable agents/distributors across Indian market is a formidable challenge. Traditional way of locating agents/distributors through newspaper ads require considerable cost and yet gives no guarantee of good response.
To fill this demand gap, we created a portal (vanik.com) on agency/distribution opportunities where companies looking for agents/distributors as well as agents/distributors looking for agency/distribution
opportunities post classifieds.
Leveraging our existing businesses in b2b portals, Vanik.com has become largest portal on
agency/distribution opportunities today. It has thousands of opportunities – posted by both
manufacturers/importers as well as agents/distributors/dealers.
For overseas businesses seeking to enter Indian market, we have even created a section on Indian Importers.
However, in spite of excellent traffic and inquiries, we have not been successful in monetizing the asset. So far, we have made some sales through advertisement and credit selling, which is barely scratching the surface.
Looking for monetizing ideas from entrepreneurs. Please help me with new and innovative ideas
for increasing revenue. Entrepreneurs really interested may join as co-founder.
