Who buys & when

Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.

Buyers

Local households and small businesses are the default demand base for Samadhan sample lines unless the product name points to a clearer pack.

Channels

Local retail
Order / referral
Wholesale where relevant

Seasonality: Steady year-round; Treat demand as year-round until a more specific product pack applies.
Locality: City / region; Most micro samples sell into the nearest town or city market plus local buyers.

Demand watch-out: Generic demand assumptions fail when the product is highly specialized — validate with local buyers before locking capacity.

Derived from idea type and sector — not a survey or government market report.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

Chemical handling and environmental compliance
Solvents like PERC are hazardous; mandatory signage, spill kits, proper ventilation, and authorized disposal as per CPCB rules
Initial cash flow pressure
High upfront investment in machinery and chemicals with 30-60 day payment cycles from B2B clients can strain working capital
Skill-intensive customer service
Stain identification, fabric sensitivity, and garment repair require trained staff; quality issues lead to returns and reputation damage
