मध्यमHelps retailer and website listing

One-page product story

A concise story helps the product sell without fake claims.

पहला कदम: Write source, use, pack size and storage in simple words

शुरुआती checklist

Scale करने से पहले यह तैयार रखें

Front photo
Back label photo
Net weight
Ingredients/material
Batch/date
Storage/care
Cost sheet
One use-case photo

Online buyer product हाथ में लेकर नहीं देख सकता

इसलिए photos, label, ingredients, net quantity, shelf life, storage और price को payment से पहले सवालों का जवाब देना चाहिए।

ये basics missing हों तो अच्छा product भी risky लगता है।

Front और back photos लगाएं
Net quantity लिखें
Storage और best-before दिखाएं
Vague claims avoid करें

Featured from the HFN catalog: Karela Pickle 400g.

Packed cost से price बनाएं

कई groups raw produce cost से price बनाते हैं और cleaning loss, processing, jar/pouch, label, transport, returns और platform fee भूल जाते हैं।

Raw material पर profitable दिखने वाला product packaging और shipping के बाद loss कर सकता है।
