One of the key reasons behind the continued success of these crafts is the ready availability of raw materials and low labor costs in the region, making West Bengal a hub for such endeavors.

Mike Volpe once said "Don't be afraid to get creative and experiment with your marketing" and I totally agree with that. Not taking any sort of risk and not facing any sort of trouble while growing your business is actually the biggest risk! Failures and learning are an integral part of success. All business owners, be it online or offline business, need to be creative and innovative enough because if they aren’t, the consumers and customers are!
