16. Q. How has the
response to Lazy Ninja
been?
The response has been
stupendous. We are exhilarated
as we had never even dreamt
that we could make an impact in
such a short span of time. We
get orders worth 25-30 thousand
per day on an average and
growing. In terms of traction we
get more than four thousand
visitors per day on LazyNinja.in.
We are growing 100 per cent
month on month.
Q. There are existing sites
like Inkfruit, Teesort.com w
ho have the early mover
advantage. Where do you
see yourself among them?
We agree that these sites
have an early mover
advantage but we are a little
different in the league. We
are more into the humour
space. They are made keeping
the youth in mind. Our tees
are wacky and have a
different approach.
Also unlike others we promise
a 24 hour dispatch so our
deliveries are quicker.
17. Q. How is
LazyNinja.in
marketed?
Q. What does the
future behold?
Well, we have just begun and
To be frank we have hardly
spent on marketing the site.
We promote ourselves
through Just dial and
Facebook. In fact we have
been able to garner 50
thousand fans on Facebook in
less than a few months.
We use the benefits of
features such as
Advert, Boost, etc in FB to the
fullest.
there is a lot to achieve. We are
working diligently towards our
goal and the future looks bright.
At one hand where we are
looking to expand our portfolio
which includes new categories
and more alliances, we are also
working on improving the user
experience on the website. Also
we are looking for investments
and are looking to initiate talks
with a few VC’s and angel
investors. Let’s hope for the best.
18. Conclusion

which is based in Pune.
Within no time it has been able to fight with
the already established players in this
segment.
Thus, It is evident that we can even
overcome the limitation of not having the

innovation strategies and marketing.
