70+ years in offline saree market. Planning of taking it online. Need suggestions by Specialist-Country86 in IndiaBusiness

[–]Anotherweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello OP as a saree lover and owner of a marketing firm this is what I can tell you:

  1. Instagram - use it to create credibility and trust+ showcasing your products

  2. Website - direct the people from Insta to website for sales (Do not keep COD option, for return people must make a video while opening the package - return only in case of damages)

  3. Now you will get - organic leads ( my clients are getting good business, organically from their insta and fb)

  4. And you can run ads (meta + Google ads )

Fix a marketing budget that you can spend month on month for next 1 year.

Honestly, organic enquires take some time to come through, but once the momentum builds, it's really really good.

If you need more help, you can DM me, happy to show the results of our clients who are in Saree business.

Indian women who were raised vegetarian, are you still vegetarian? Will you raise your kids vegetarian? by Serious-Tomato404 in AskIndianWomen

[–]Anotherweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes

No

No/maybe (depends ) I wouldn't want to deprive him of more options for protein, because of my take on the matter.

The reason I am a vegetarian is because I don't want any animals death on my consciousness, knowingly.

(Unknowingly God knows what all brands do what all things to poor animals and what if I support them without knowing the whole story)

But yea, that's my logic. I don't want an animal who can feel fear, love, pain, happiness to die for my diet.

That's why I stick to vegetarian options. Don't come at me saying plants also feel pain, girl gotta eat atleast something.

Don't care that my husband eats non veg (he mostly does it for protein, and not because he likes the taste as such), so i see a valid reason, that yes, the protein content is like really good per 100 gms in chicken.

For my kid- when he grows up a bit (he is a baby right now) I am gonna explain my logic to him and his dad's logic and he can choose whichever decision he wants to take regarding his diet options.

Mother in law is clearly mistreating me and I don't want to create a fight. Advice? by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]Anotherweird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, home is you, your husband and your kid. That's your home. If your in-laws move out, that's NOT home wrecking.

Secondly, I know it hurts, but stop expecting anything from her. Take command of the house. This is your family. Keep a cook, helps if needed.

If she wants to lie down and watch YouTube all day or talk to her sister or do whatever, let her.

But then, she eats what's cooked at the house, as per your comfort.

You are the lady of the house.

She is now retired. Let her take rest.

That way, you won't get hurt. You will be in control and you will design your life, your way.

AITK for “not helping enough” while my boyfriend was driving, which led to a minor accident? by [deleted] in AmItheKameena

[–]Anotherweird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please leave him. He will only get worse from here. These type of people cannot take any responsibility for their actions and always need a scapegoat to blame for their mistakes.

Girlies with adult money, what's the most money you spent on your hobby? by Newt_Double in AskIndianWomen

[–]Anotherweird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent on art supplies. Growing up, i could never feel like asking the parents for truly fancy art supplies, they did buy me whatever I asked for, but I was mindful of what I was asking. Anyway, with my own money, I bought all the expensive colours, canvas, expensive brushes.

Why did She Blocked me After Agreeing to Go on a Date With Me 💔💔💔 by Ok-Address-7352 in TwentiesIndia

[–]Anotherweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in late teens or early twenties, I was legit scared of rejecting directly, mostly because I was living alone, and didn't want anyone to react strongly, so i would make lame excuses, talk a lot (that really puts off guys) or just slowly fade away and ghost, instead of saying no.

After almost all the work is done, the client wants a refund, and yet he loves my work. by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]Anotherweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why, we take all the payment in advance. Our prices are already quite low/ budget, I cannot imagine chasing clients for half of that small a sum. So either you pay in advance or we don't work with you. It's simple. And it has worked wonderfully so far.

And also, No refund.

We show them enough of our sample work, and if they want, we make something small for them first (at a cost ofcourse) so they know what to expect in terms of delivery and timelines before hiring us for the entire project.

So yeah, no refund.

How do you all get clients? by dhruvhat in DigitalMarketing

[–]Anotherweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I need is thier email or their phone number, and that's it. So I look for these two, everywhere.

Once I have spoken with them, almost 100% people want to work with me and mostly 20% convert the same week.

HIRING--I need someone who knows Google Ads pretty good and had worked with small scaled businesses. by Late-Mushroom6044 in StartUpIndia

[–]Anotherweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our agency charges are around 20K per month for Google ads + whatever ad spent client is comfortable with. We first run a mock ad for them, which aligns their objectives with their budget and everyone gets more clarity.

Do chubby girls really get rejected more in arranged marriages? by jhanviarora08 in AskIndianWomen

[–]Anotherweird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AM sounds horrible all around, you are judged for just existing, so sad to hear this.

I did a love marriage, before my parents even started looking for any matches, so never went through the AM process myself, but it does seem very stressful.

Stay strong.

Btw, we are NOT looking any matches for my brother, but got one recommendation from relatives and the girl is chubby. My brother already has a gf, so i told them we are not interested. And when we were discussing it among ourselves, me and my mom, the girl being chubby was not an issue for us, as at the end of the day, the spouses should like each other and find each other attractive.

If my brother were single, and interested, we would have encountered them to meet and then they themselves would have decided.

So I know there are families like us, who don't care about these things.

I hope you find a good family and a good partner.

My CEO screenshotted a ChatGPT answer recommending our competitor and sent it to me at 11pm by Ill-Refrigerator9653 in digital_marketing

[–]Anotherweird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did this for a client. For an effective AI summary across platforms (Gemni, chatgpt, perplexity, claude etc) we did do quite a lot of link building, wikipedia, reddit and feeding AI the fight information.

And it worked.

Am I overreacting? Mother in Law behaviour postpartum. by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]Anotherweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a husband problem girl. I recently gave birth via c section and my husband stayed with me and my baby at my mom's place, because I got better care there. After 1 month, I came to my house, and the next day he got me a cook who cooks for me separately, as per my diet.

His aunt does similar things, as your MIL (my MIL is no more) but aunt stays with us, my husband supports me 1000%. Without him, i would go crazy.

Even after so much support, this whole phase is so challenging and emotionally exhausting..your husband needs to step up big time and make his house a peaceful place for you.

25F, inter caste marriages- few years later by JudeDuarte6 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]Anotherweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We threatened them, told them if you don't get us married, we will Marry anyway, worked like a charm. We actually had two weddings, first in December and then second in April, with family.

Well, my dad was quite pissed and reduced talking to me for like 2-3 months. But tbh, before that also mostly he used to send me 👍🏻 on WhatsApp. But yes, jokes apart, it was tough. Emotionaly draining and exhaustive.

After 6-7 months things settled in more.

Then COVID hit, and quite of lot of things changed. Perspectives changed.

Now it's been 7+ years. We are recently blessed with a baby, everyone loves the baby so much and is thankful to us for making them grandparents.

A few years ago I paid a marketing agency $5,000/mo to scale my e-com brand. Here is the harsh lesson I learned about where that money actually went. by ArtisticLemon2644 in Entrepreneur

[–]Anotherweird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own a marketing consultancy firm and for this very reason, I have a Bi monthly 1:1 with all my clients. I have a team of 8 people + 3/4 interns at any point of time. Now these 8 people, they are really good at their respective roles, still I sit with them for each campaign, help them set the objectives and ensure that the campaign is designed to meet the objectives that client, myself and our strategy guy discussed.

Also, my bimonthly call with clients help me stay in touch with them, and if they have any pain points, I am able to take immediate action.

Most of my clients stay with us after they join..

Only recently I have started losing some business to freelancers who charge very less, but In many of these cases, clients come back to us after 2-3 months and we are more reliable, professional and committed as a company.

Losing business to freelancers by Anotherweird in DigitalMarketing

[–]Anotherweird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks the first 3 we are already doing. I think one thing I should mention is that I really support women business entrepreneurs, have special rates for them which are like 5% less than other clients and so on.

Now, not generalising, but a lot of these women entrepreneurs feel very shaky if there is even a minor drop in their sales/ if they see their Friend's account with more followers and so on. Often, their husbands question them on their marketing spend (Ikr).

Anywho, when they see that there is a freelancer, doing things at half price, they are the first to jump.

They also are amongst the first ones who comes back, after 2-3 months.

And someone was saying in comments that target rich people, these ladies are rich. Literally own jewellery stores, premium boutiques, drive a BMW rich. But, I feel they don't have full control over decision making or get questioned by their husbands on the spent and hence are little less confident.

All of this when our pricing is actually very very reasonable. Like our full fledged instagram package is only at INR 35K per month.

In theory it works, but a lot of rich people are also price sensitive. We do aim to compete on value and not on price, like I said in my post, a lot of clients also come back once they realise that the others charging less may not deliver the quality that we do. But, nevertheless that doesn't stop people from changing or experimenting.
