India Shopping Online ShalinIndia Signs Up With All Major Marketplaces to Access International Customers

New Delhi, Delhi (PRWEB) September 14, 2011

India online shopping store ShalinIndia is trying to do things differently. Instead of targeting the domestic market, it has looked outward towards global customers. In order to acquire international customers, ShalinIndia has actively embraced popular online marketplaces like Amazon, Ebay, Etsy and Bonanza.

We had to make a choice between selling to domestic market and selling to international market. We settled for international market simply because the addressable market was much larger and customers had less inhibition while buying on the net, said Shalini Verma, founder of ShalinIndia. Besides, it is mostly males who shop in the Indian market and they typically buy electronic items like laptops, mobiles, and camera on discount deals. ShalinIndias customers, on the other hand, are mostly women whose shopping list consists of fashion items like Indian clothing, India jewelry, India gifts and home decor, added Shalini Verma.

For a company located in India, e-selling to international customers has never been easy. Sales were inhibited by the lingering doubts and questions in the minds of international customers when buying online from distant vendors. Can the vendor be trusted with credit card details? Will the items be shipped at all? Will custom charges be payable on the items imported? How can rejected items be returned? Will refunds be hassle free?

ShalinIndia decided to address the legitimate concerns of its international customers and accordingly made significant changes in its business model. ShalinInda joined the most trusted marketplace platforms in each country. We signed up with Amazon in the US, UK, France, Germany and Japan; Ebay in US, and UK, and with Bonanza, Etsy, Atomic Mall and Webstore in the US. The strategy paid off. Today we sell far more on these marketplace platforms than on our own website as customers trust product and service guarantees from these local marketplace players and tend to buy without inhibitions. explained Shalini Verma.

ShalinIndia is an India online shopping store selling mainly cultural products of India to global customers. The company has partnered with Amazon to store its inventory in five countries : US, UK, France, Germany, and Japan. Amazon picks, packs and ships orders in these five countries. Orders from other countries are shipped directly from India. Every order is delivered within three to five days.

India Shopping ShalinIndia Launches Copper Drinkware for Ayurvedic Healing

New Delhi, India (PRWEB) September 16, 2011

ShalinIndia, a premier India online shopping store, has launched today a unique pitcher and glass set, made entirely in pure copper. According to Ayurveda, a system of alternative medicine, copper has healing properties. Storing water for three hours in these copper pitchers, for instance, is known to kill harmful bacteria and prevent certain diseases such as skin inflammation and piles, as well as spleen, respiratory, and gynecological disorders.

According to Ayurveda or the knowledge of long life, drinking water from copper tumblers is also known to prevent premature aging. To the delight of the modern cosmetics industry, copper has been found to stimulate collagen production, and some of the most well known brands in skin care have since integrated copper into skin creams for treating wrinkles, said Shalini Verma, founder of ShalinIndia.

The pitcher and tumbler set are designed in traditional style. The Pitcher is in the shape of a Lota, which is sometimes used as Kalash in the Hindu system "pooja" or worship. The tumbler has a simple design without frills. The artisans of Mathura in north India have handcrafted the pitcher and tumbler.

We wanted to bring to our global customers copper pitcher and tumbler in the same shape and design as has been traditionally used in Indian homes, added Shalini Verma.

The copper pitcher and tumbler set from ShalinIndia can be purchased online from their own online store as well as from online marketplaces like Amazon, Ebay, Etsy, Atomic mall, Bonanza and Webstore.

This drinkware set has been priced at $ 35 and can be shipped to all parts the world.
