Are you an incense enthusiasts?

What is your favorite agarbatti?

Do you know where you can find your favorite agarbatti?

Are you paying more to popular e-commerce company for your agarbatti needs?

Do you know what are the features you need to check before buying agarbatti?

Here I will explore these topics, with my 5 years of experience in e-commerce and my physical store I will anawer these questions in detail.

1. An incense enthusiast- If you are not an incense lover you can continue with your choice of agarbatti. Most of people buy standard agarbatti from nearby shops or on the way to temple. There you will find most common brands or products from local manufacturers. To buy from local shops is absolutely fine 🙂  because it contributes in promoting small scale industries and atmnirbhar bharat.

It must have happened with you that someday you came across a mesmerizing fragrance outside your premises. You might have tried to enquire about the flavor and brand of that agarbatti or dhoop batti. It is highly possible that you asked for the source of that product. Then you have searched in your local market. 

Given the number of brands and variants manufactured these days, possibility of finding that particular fragrance in your searchable areas is very low. One can try searching popular e-commerce websites with lakhs of product dumped before you. You can easily get lost in many never seen before products available on such portals. One should be wise enough to order random agarbatti brand on these popular e-commerce sites. 

2. Your favorite agarbatti- After many hit and trial I am assuming you have given a piece of your heart ❤  to a fragrance. You can't start your day without this agarbatti or dhoopbatti. You must have sufficient stock of your favorite agarbatti. 

3. Buy your favorite brand- Mostly local shopkeepers stock limited number of brands and variants. They ran out of stock within month. Average shopkeeper refill stocks quarterly only when they have sold all the variant of the particular brand. It is highly possible that your favorite fragrance may remain out of stock for months. 

Keeping this problem in mind www.giftofforest.com  was founded. It aims to provide non stop supply of your favorite agarbatti at your doorsteps. Gift of Forest has most popular brands and their variants stocked for you. You can easily order your favorite agarbatti on www.giftofforest.com.  If you cannot find any product in your local market you can ask Gift of Forest. They will surely provide you that product, if they don't have they will procure for you.

4. Popular e-commerce websites overcharge their customer- They get Popularity by heavily investing in advertisements. Their main cost is advertisements, they charge a major percentage of the selling price of the product. The seller gets a marginal amount of profit and major portion goes to popular Ecommerce website owners.

Here is an example of cost analysis of Agarbatt product.

MRP= 1000

Selling Price = 900

Seller purchase price = 500

E-commerce fees =350

( fixed fees= 30, commission(20% of SP) = 180, shipping fees=140 for 1 kg standard weight)

Profit to seller = Rs. 50 only.

Cost to customer = 900.

Therefore major portion of profit 📈 goes to these popular e-commerce sites where you are over charged in the name of some temporary discount deals. Both seller and customer are bound to spend more.

5. Make a wise decision- When you can't find your favorite agarbatti in your locality, then you should search online. Luckily you may finally find your product online available, and you want to order asap. Before you place the order have you calculated the price you are paying. It is more likely that you want to order on popular e-commerce websites lured by cheesy advertisements. You are most likely fall into their trap and end up paying almost double the price you already paid when bought locally. 

Therefore it is strictly advisable that you should calculate the price before you place the order. 

How? Well it is simple. Just add average national shipping charge to the price of product bought locally that you usually pay.

Suppose you pay 50 rupees for one piece of agarbatti. Online you find a pack of 6 same agarbatti. So 50x6=300 to this price add average national (Indian) shipping cost for 1 kg shipment is around Rs.150. Therefore maximum amount that you should pay is Rs.300+150= 450 and not more than that. 

This type of pricing in the backbone of website Gift of Forest where they charge bare minimum for excellent product quality and service. 99% of the products on Gift of Forest are shipped freely without any additional shipping cost across India.

Features to look after before buying online agarbatti.

1. Material- Check whether it is a masala/flora agarbatti or it is usual black/base scented agarbatti. A masala agarbatti has strong fragrance with mostly natural ingredients. A black/base agarbatti has mild to strong fragrance and contains synthetic aromatic compounds.
2. Shelf life- Usually it is not mentioned on most of websites, but Gift of Forest has made it fare to share every minute details as possible. A black/base agarbatti is more durable (36 months) as compared to masala/flora agarbatti (24 months).
3. Color- Now a days with variety of options available with color why not choose your favorite color for incense sticks.
4. Length- Average length of agarbatti in 8 inch, but the longer the length longer you get the fragrance. Many brands like Arihant Incense Countrywide use 9 inch long agarbatti for long lasting fragrance. Also 16 inch variants are available as different segment.
5. Burning Time- Usually 8 inch agarbatti lasts around 30-40 min depending upon material they are made of. Similarly 9 inch agarbatti lasts around 45-60 min and 16 inch agarbatti lasts 120-150 min. Masala/flora agarbatti lasts longer than black/base agarbatti.
6. Brand- It is advisable to research about the brand history before purchasing agarbatti. You can read online reviews available about brand.
7. Shipping Cost- Check if the same product is available online with free shipping option or not, a little saving is all we need.

I hope with all this discussion here now you have some superpowers to decide which agarbatti to order without much confusion and loss. I will write detail post on one particular brand Arihant Incense Countrywide which is one of my Favorite brands in India. See You again till than take care and spread the fragrance around.
