Chak de India : Marketing Opportunity for India’s National Game

“Chak de India” is a big hit and experts are terming it as Shahrukh Khan’s best movie ever.

Probably it is time for Indian sports authorities to get into the act and ride on the movie’s success. Get some sponsors, promote the game & use Chak de India as a marketing tool.

Opportunity is up for grabs…

Itasveer : India’s Best Photo Printing Website ?

In a brief e-mail discussion with me, Ankit Khanna, Director itasveer, revealed itasveer’s new features, why it is different from other online photo printing services in India and its future plans. Packed with cool features and top partners itasveer appears to be doing better than other online photo printing services like picsquare, fobaz. Gradually consumers appear to be moving away from the traditional methods of photo printing.

Itasveer’s new features 1. Itasveer introduced the themes for photo sharing to give better user experience check out powered photo sharing
2. 10 free prints on sign up
3. Referral program: refer 10 friends and earn a customized mug

Itasveer’s USP

Typically, I’d like to apply a different thought and would instead like to focus on key differentiations of itasveer from Picsquare which are user-centric. Over time, itasveer has established itself as one of its kind product in the online photo printing segment in India and outside India (presently our focus is India only). Our approach is led by innovative thinking – whether its UI, new product, or any new feature.

How is it different from other players:

1. Doodlepad is definitely the biggest differentiators. When we thought of introducing the merchandise, we thought why not develop a tool which empowers our users to come up with their designs. This led to the development of online design tool called Doodlepad ( http://www.itasveer.com/godoodle.do) It gives us the edge in technology and better user experience. Users can mix up designs, add clipart, background, frames, and get designs printed on t-shirts and mugs.

2. Users can download back their high resolution images for FREE. We are the first one in India to offer this service.
