Business Problem

Many family-run retail shops lose customers to online marketplaces because they lack a simple digital presence.

Background

Over 200 shop owners in Jaipur's old markets still rely only on foot traffic and word-of-mouth referrals.

Solution

A three-step approach: Google Business Profile setup, WhatsApp catalogue with weekly offers, and in-store QR codes for reviews.

Results

Pilot shops reported 20–35% more repeat orders within 90 days and stronger weekend footfall from map searches.

Recommendations

Start with one channel, measure for 30 days, then add a second — do not try every platform at once.
