One such example of B2B is “Alibaba”. It is one of the most famous international websites. Then in India, “Indiamart and tradeindia.com” are very popular. I am sure you might have heard about these 2 websites.
So, today we will be talking about “Indiamart”.

All the platforms that we have seen until now are mostly B2C. for instance, Amazon and Flipkart are B2C e-commerce. While websites like “Alibaba, Indiamart, and Trade India are B2B e-commerce.
Basically, in B2B, the buyers buy the entire product or raw materials in bulk.

Let’s go and check its website. Have a look at this screen. If you have already listed your products, then your products will also be displayed in this manner.

Suppose let’s say, your product is a chair. Then all your products will be displayed like this in bulk. You can charge per product.
And here I would like to tell you one more thing.
Indiamart is a company that has a paid version as well as an organic version. So, when you register for the first time, it is considered organic. After the registration, a representative from Indiamart will call you and give you more options if you want to switch to the paid version.
So, basically, when you switch to a paid version, you have to pay some charges monthly and as a result, they provide a service of ranking your product higher in the list.
Well, it is totally your choice if you want to use the organic version or pay some charges and use the paid version.
If you are a first-timer, then I would suggest you to use the organic version at least for a month after the registration.
After one month check and analyze if you are getting any leads and if you are actually benefitting from Indiamart. After that, you can decide if you want to opt for the paid version or not.
