One way to start a home-based business with minimal investments is to begin by offering your services as a freelancer or consultant rather than starting a business that may require capital to invest in inventory. Another alternative is to sell what you create. If you are a passionate creator, whether is a cookie, a wall hanging, jewellery or even a digital painting or poster, consider selling your creations online. Additionally, starting an online business can also be a cost-effective option, as it eliminates the need for a physical storefront and large-scale inventory.

In today's digital landscape, having an ecommerce platform for your business is not just advantageous—it's essential. Let's explore why establishing an online presence is more important than ever before.
Firstly, an ecommerce website grants your business unparalleled global reach. It serves as a virtual storefront, allowing you to showcase and sell your products or services to customers worldwide, 24/7. This eliminates geographical barriers and opens doors to new markets, facilitating the expansion of your customer base beyond physical limitations.
Secondly, ecommerce offers unmatched convenience and accessibility for your customers. With just a few taps on their smartphones or clicks on their computers, people can browse and purchase your offerings anytime, anywhere. This seamless shopping experience enhances customer satisfaction and fosters repeat business.
Moreover, an online presence enhances your brand's visibility and credibility. In today's digital era, potential customers rely heavily on online research and comparisons before making purchase decisions. By maintaining an ecommerce website, you establish a trustworthy online presence that makes it effortless for customers to discover and engage with your brand.
Lastly, ecommerce empowers businesses with valuable insights through data analytics. By leveraging analytics tools, you can gain deep insights into customer behaviour, track sales trends and gather actionable feedback. This data-driven approach enables you to refine your marketing strategies, optimise operations, and continuously enhance the overall customer experience.
Recognising this significant impact of establishing an online presence for businesses, we at SmartBiz by Amazon, —a platform that helps business owners create hassle-free e-commerce websites for *free, as an early access offer (for more details check our website), thought of helping out Urvee, an NGO run by women for women, making eco-friendly gifting products.
Urvee was founded by two friends, Rekha Mavinkurve and Nandini Karanje over 30 years ago. This NGO operates with a small but passionate team of environment-friendly enthusiasts, united by a mission to give back to the Earth what it has graciously provided over generations. Urvee not only empowers underprivileged women in business but also champions sustainable living practices through its unique initiatives.
The name "Urvee" encapsulates the essence of their commitment—a dedication to invest time and resources towards making the world a better place to live in. Beyond their eco-friendly initiatives, Urvee plays a vital role in empowering women by providing them with meaningful opportunities and sustainable livelihoods.
One of their impactful endeavours involves engaging underprivileged women in the production of traditional Indian handmade paper bags made from cotton rag waste. Through skill development programs and employment opportunities, Urvee empowers these women, who are mostly mothers, to earn a dignified income while contributing to environmental conservation.
By fostering economic independence and self-reliance, Urvee empowers women to overcome socio-economic barriers and achieve financial stability for themselves and their families. Their holistic approach to empowerment reflects their commitment to creating a more equitable and inclusive society.
Urvee’s mission is to directly support women's empowerment through skill development and income generation by giving employment to less fortunate women and girls, some of whom are mothers in need to provide for their families. Through various projects, they provide opportunities for women to make a difference while earning a sustainable income for themselves and their families. Urvee attracts eco-conscious consumers who prioritise sustainability in their purchasing decisions. This includes products like beautiful handmade products such as notebooks, pen stands, photo frames, and even corporate gifts.
On realising the potential the women and products of Urvee have, we at SmartBiz by Amazon were inspired to lend a helping hand. We understood the immense potential it held to boost their sales and empower them in the digital marketplace. Therefore, we decided to help Urvee in creating their ecommerce website–for a special Mother's Day project.
