What this inspiring entrepreneur thinks of the market and a promising empire he is building.
People leave G-Mart showrooms with a happy heart and not-so-empty pocket. Gopu Nandilath G-Mart feasts a wide and unmatchable wide array of products in a state-of-the-art showroom space, where the customer can select from some of the best products in the world, can see them function, compare between the products and buy in a very economical & cost-effective manner. Keeping other mediators away from the scene, as G-Mart buys products from the respective companies directly, it enables them to sell those products at a least possible price. This inturn lets the customers to flock in more to their showrooms looking at the affordability factor, with much trust and service. Not many other companies can display all the brands available in the market; they try selling their products showing the catalogues and then fetch the product down. In contrary, Gopu Nandilath G-Mart has big spacious showrooms which has enough space to display all the brands, where customers can see the performance of each brand/model right when they walk in and choose what they really want at the same time, according to their preferences. Each customer is serviced and cared for individually, looking at the diverse behavioral and sales patterns. The whole team at the G-Mart is trained on treating a customer with utmost comfort and care. That is one of the reason why a customer runs back to Gopu Nandilath G-Mart and decides to stay loyal mutually. After-sales service is meticulously evaluated and is given across Kerala, despite of the region the product is bought from.
