Why Gift Shops Should Have Online Catalogs

Priya owns a small gift shop in Bhopal. 

For years, her business has depended on walk-in customers, wedding seasons, and festive occasions. 

Every Diwali and Valentine's Day, her phone explodes with WhatsApp messages:

"Can you send hamper photos?"

"What is the price of this one?"

"Do you have something different for a birthday?"

She spends hours clicking pictures, sending them one by one, and answering the same questions repeatedly.

In this long process, sometimes the customer replies,

"Hey, sorry! I have already bought from another shop."


One day, a regular customer told her,


"Priya! Why don't you just put everything online? It will save your time."

This line changed everything.


The day Priya went online, she created a simple online catalog - neatly arranged into categories: birthday gifts, customized items, corporate hampers, festive gifts, premium gifts, etc.

Now, instead of sending 30 photos a day, she sends one link to the customer.

They browse themselves, select what they like, and place orders instantly on WhatsApp.


What happened next?

People who had never visited Priya’s shop started ordering. 

Corporate companies began contracting her for bulk gifts. 

During Diwali, her catalog link went viral in resident WhatsApp groups - and she sold out within a week. 

Now, Priya isn't just a local gift shop; she has become a trusted online gifting brand in her area.
