Week 14 - By Sunday

Which tools to implement , why , how frequently and a strategy


The size of my business is small, I will have only 4 product lines, among them I will try to portray some unique ones (Jhumka, Earlobe design, Stone studded etc). Later on depending upon the demand I may extend the range. Also I will be the only person in my business and of course not much budget for marketing. So for me best is a website which I have already created (needs some upgradation) and a server site for which I have to pay.



For the rest I would like to adopt the free platforms. I may open an email account as glamhindjewelry@hotmail.com where I will create groups of customers like Earringcust, Necklacecust etc. I need to check the email account on a daily basis, and reply back to my customers within 1-2 days. If there is any issue that may take longer, then I will tell them the reason of delay, basically I will try to be as transparent as possible.

I will use blog every alternate week to provide information about the cultural influence on the jewelries of India.

Initially for 3 months I will post the Blogs, link with website and the Facebook page with informative posts (the way we did in the class). Then depending upon the likes, engagement etc I will start showing the products and their price ranges and I will get an idea about which product is liked by most people. I believe to start my business I need to put a considerable amount of time and effort to market my product and ideas, once I get a satisfactory amount of response to sustain in the market then I can only focus to day to day activities like Facebook/Twitter posting / following and customer service through email / reply to blog / personal messages (everyday 2 hours). Once a while blog and sometimes Pinterest / Instagram and Youtube (once in two weeks).

Every week using the Google analytics will be very helping to see how my business is doing (every weekend 1 hour). Accordingly I will plan the strategy for the next week, whether to create a blog writing competition or send your photo wearing my stuffs etc.


Basically I will try to keep it pretty simple, manageable and organized.

  1. Hello,
    I agree with keeping it manageable. It seems that it is worse to start too much at once and get overwhelmed. It is better to do a few things well and then add more complexity laer.
