India-EU

Challenge

A Jaipur-based block print textile artisan collective had no international sales presence. Their hand-block-printed fabrics, scarves, and home furnishings were sold domestically at craft fairs and through domestic retailers. A survey of EU Etsy searches identified 50,000+ monthly searches for "Indian block print fabric" and "hand printed cotton scarves" with average sale prices of EUR 45-90.

Solution

AJG designed a D2C digital strategy. Etsy shop setup with SEO-optimised listings (high-resolution photography, 500+ word product descriptions, provenance storytelling). Custom Shopify website built in English with EU-compliant privacy policy (GDPR) and EU VAT/IOSS registration. Direct-from-India shipping via India Post (economy) and DHL Express (premium). Product photography session with EU market styling (neutral backgrounds, lifestyle imagery). IOSS registration (for EU VAT on consignments under EUR 150) handled via EU fiscal representative.

Outcome

Etsy shop reached EUR 280,000 annual revenue by month 8. Shopify website reached EUR 420,000 by month 12. Annual total EU D2C revenue EUR 1.9M by year 2, EUR 2.2M by year 3. Average order value: EUR 68. Top EU markets: Germany 38%, Netherlands 22%, France 18%, UK 12%, Sweden 10%. IOSS compliance means EU consumers receive goods without customs surprise charges.
