Partnership with Amazon

Amazon has been an instrumental partner in propelling BigRayn’s growth journey. Amazon’s vast reach and strong infrastructure have been pivotal in connecting them with a global audience. BigRayn used Amazon’s Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) service to streamlined logistics operations which has allowed them to focus on core competencies while ensuring timely and efficient delivery of products to customers. Furthermore, Amazon’s advanced inventory management tools have helped them maintain optimal stock levels, reducing the risk of stockouts or overstocking.

Amazon’s data-driven insights have been invaluable in shaping their business strategy as well. Through detailed analytics, Nibedita gained a deeper understanding of customer behaviour, preferences and market trends. This knowledge has empowered her to make informed decisions regarding product development, pricing and marketing initiatives. Moreover, Amazon’s marketing tools have been useful in increasing brand visibility and driving sales. Nibedita utilized Sponsored Products and other advertising options to effectively target ideal customer segments and generate significant interest in their handcrafted products.

At the core of BigRayn lies a steadfast commitment to empower local weavers. Nibedita believes in developing a sustainable ecosystem where artisans can thrive and by preserving traditional techniques, ensuring fair wages and contributing to their economic growth. They prioritize high-quality, sustainably sourced materials like organic fibres and natural dyes to create products that are not only beautiful but are also eco-friendly. Their commitment to quality is further reinforced by certifications like the Handloom Mark and Silk Mark, signifying authenticity and excellence.
