Can items like tools be
sold online?
Brands of similar nature and stature that include,
Taparia, Stanley, Jhalani Forge Group, Hitachi,
BOSCH and Makita sell their products through
marketplaces like Amazon, Flipkart, Tolexo etc and
none of them sell through the mother site.

marketplaces ?
Selling through marketplaces is a better option
as the chances of earning a revenue through
these is much higher and this is a pretty cost-
efficient method.

8. Tracing the Roots
“Digital is not fit for crude items like handtools and garden tools”- Myth
After a rigorous research we traced out that there is a considerable demand for GPHT
and garden tools online. The challenge was to gauge the number of people opting for
them.
By studying the traffic estimates of different platforms like Flipkart, Amazon,
IndustryBuying, Urjakart, Moglix etc. and the search volumes of related keywords
we did get a number but the exact picture was still unclear to us.
Our “Tryst with Digital” started in the month of July and our findings in the process
have been listed in the following slides.

12. Visibility and Brand Building

“Each tool has a story”, each
creation has been linked to a story
and to make the process intriguing
we have personified the tools.
15. Our Observations (July-August)
◂ Reached 15,09,756 people via digital media including social
channels and 3rd party portals
◂ Out of 2,00,000 people we had reached out to ,42,422 got
engaged on Facebook.

amount online.
