E-commerce has made life easy for the start-ups to display and book orders for their new ideas in very cost effective manner! However, after the proof of the concept the next immediate challenge for them is to scale up by generating volumes and creating a ready marketing and distribution infrastructure for their goods and services! To generate volumes to lower the cost of their manufactured goods they need bulk sales and enough trials before they can even start selling at brick and mortars. Once the product has been tried and liked by masses then placing it on shelves becomes easy due to inquiry and demand from the end users. A big marketing and distribution lesson is that what is seen is bought and that in the beginning you need to push your products like a rocket which takes a lot of energy to get off the ground but thereafter it becomes relatively easy.

To give you few examples have you seen newspaper or television ads explaining about a ball pen free along with a soap. A coffee mug free along with a brand of the coffee. A massager free along with a coconut oil or a mirror free along with a branded kajal. A swiss knife free along with a newly launched men’s face wash cream. A gold in your regular bath soap or soap case if you buy set of 2 or 3 soaps. You can be tempted with a headphone if you go for a post-paid connection instead of a prepaid by a telecom company.
