Samir Saraiya, Founder of premium online store ThatsPersonal.com, says that there are cost challenges that is hampering the unit economics of the E-commerce industry. “We are fortunate to be in a category that is margin friendly and has relatively low customer acquisition costs and a strong repeated usage. Over the last 5 years we have achieved a level of scale that has resulted in business profitability. We believe that financial discipline has been one of our key success factors,” he says.

Samir says that they have a well-developed a marketing strategy which revolves around overall category growth. “We have done extensive PR to build awareness. We run various campaigns along with our international suppliers that are targeted towards first time customers. We work with the medical fraternity, especially sexologist and gynecologist, for product sampling. We have also participated at youth events to create visibility among our target audience and believe these activities have supported the growth in awareness of this category,” Saraiya says.
Facing the Competition –
The global industry is estimated at $30 billion and growing at double digits. There are various estimates that project the Indian market to grow to $1 billion over the next five years. The competition has been steady over the past few years with a few new entrants every year.

ThatsPersonal.com has been focused on creating availability of the world’s leading sexual wellness brands with a special focus on discreet delivery. We have focused on the entire buying experience and over 30% of our orders are from repeat customers.”
