SUBHAJIT BISWAS

Subhajit Biswas runs 2 successful ecommerce company, having offices at Gurgaon and Vizag. He opened his presentation by showing a slide, which read “Why should you listen to me?” and then he paused and dramatically put this question to the audience.

In the next slide, it read “Because I do not have a course to sell, no upselling, training or funnel.” He said that he was also like the average person sitting in the audience until two years back and he bought an ecommerce course from a so-called guru for $ 1500.

The audience burst into laughter, and everyone including me applauded. Why did the audience react this way, what is the hidden pun and sarcasm behind his message?

Indian Digital Marketing Ecosystem has been badly abused; we have more self-professed guru than a digital marketing professional. We have Guru selling the dream to make millions and become self-employed and build an online empire, but the same guru eventually sells the course to a newbie to make money. ?

Anyway, this was something off topic, to explain it to my reader and let’s move forward to attend DMconference.

Subhajit Biswas – mogisa

He spoke about FOMO – Fear of missing out, an important marketing strategy to sell to the consumer.

Subhajit Biswas said that the Indian market is COD (Cash on Delivery) and only 2-4 % consumer makes an online payment.

Steps to follow in setting up an ecommerce store

  • Product research
  • Lander / Shopify / WordPress
  • Facebook Ads
  • Scaling Ads

Pricing Thumb RULE

  • 3x or 4x
  • Meaning: if you procure a product for 500, sell it for min 1500-2000.
  • Ex : Prdct cost + ad cost + logistic (forward + RTO) + Ops Loss

Industry Standard Jargons

  • Forward
  • Return (Accepted and then Returned Back)
  • RTO (Return to origin)
  • NDR (Non delivery Report)

Why Ecom in India Fail

  • RTO
  • NDR and Non Acceptance

TIP: How to reduce returns? Use this funnel

  • Ask the customer to send mail to your support.
  • Ask the customer to send back the consignment himself. (Mention the same in your TOS)
  • Try to give some goodies/gifts

He concluded by saying that there is no secret; all the information are freely available, and the only secret is “Start Doing and Testing.”
