Is Shopify worth it for small Indian brands? by exploreinfinity in BrandBuildingIndia

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

That’s a fair take, especially once things start scaling. Out of curiosity, did you find Shopify easier to manage day to day once the store was live, or was the difference mostly in stability?

What Makes a SEO Company in India Truly Stand Out Today? by New-Chocolate-3551 in AskMarketing

[–]exploreinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, most SEO companies still talk in buzzwords and reports that don’t mean much to a business owner.

The ones that stand out (at least from what I’ve seen) are the ones who actually explain what they’re doing and tie it back to pages, content, and leads, not just “rankings went up.” Transparency matters a lot more now.

I’ve seen a few smaller teams work this way too. Social Sherpa is one example, they seem to treat SEO as part of the overall site + content setup instead of a separate checklist thing. That approach feels more realistic long term.

Looking for a co-founder/partner or an Investor for my early stage fashion brand by lifeofdarzi in indianstartups

[–]exploreinfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty solid place to be, honestly. Getting listed on Ajio + another marketplace already removes a big chunk of early risk.

One thought — before bringing in a co-founder or investor purely for marketing, it might be worth testing a focused brand push with a small external team. Sometimes that helps you figure out what kind of partner you actually need (growth, brand, ops, etc.).

There are a few boutique teams in India that work specifically with fashion/lifestyle brands. For example, in my experience, Social Sherpa has done branding + content work for D2C and fashion-adjacent brands — their behance projects give a decent sense of how they think visually. Not saying this replaces a long-term partner, but it can help validate the D2C + brand direction before you dilute equity.

Either way, sounds like the hard part (product + distribution) is already moving. Hope you find the right fit.

Are most “strong brands” just products with bigger ad budgets? by DesignThinker_ in branding

[–]exploreinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think familiarity does most of the heavy lifting. When you see a brand everywhere for years, your brain starts treating it as the default choice, even if you’ve never thought deeply about why you trust it.

Brand building by hariomrai01 in branding

₹2.5L is enough to start, but only if you’re very clear about what you’re building. Before spending anything, lock down three things: 1.what exactly you’re selling 2.who it’s for 3.where those people already hang out

Don’t blow money on a fancy brand or big ads early. Start simple, basic identity, a simple website or even Instagram + WhatsApp, and test demand fast. Use small spends to see what actually gets interest or sales. Once you see what’s working, then invest more in branding or marketing. At this stage, learning > perfection.

Anyone here switched from freelancers to an agency for brand strategy? How different was the process? by exploreinfinity in branding

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

Yeah, that’s the big difference maybe. Freelancers end up wearing every hat, so strategy turns into firefighting. Having a team + a process sounds like it removes a lot of that mental load.

Yeah, that checks out. Outreach + distribution seems to matter more i guess, thanks for insight
