Inspiring Digitalization of Handicraft Market:An empirical Approach
Aristocrat India is renowned customs among all other customs in the world. This aristocracy mainly derives from dress and decoration of that particular country. Handloom/Handicraft goods have direct bearing on this aristocracy. Besides maintaining aristocracy, handloom/handicraft products provides primary livelihood to the large number of rural people of the nation. However, the present markets of these products are getting declined gradually. A large number of researches are evident of this fact. The one of the major cause of declining of the market is identif ied as lack of sales promotions / advertisements which in turn causing lack of customer awareness for these products. Promoting these goods to the Customer through online portal will not only raise the sales promotions / advertisements but also increase customer awareness.

Primary data is collected through dichotomous questionnaire containing close ended questions. For this investigation, “Z” analysis has been used for framing conclusion/suggestion at the end of the study.
