What additional services and benefits will boAt provide to its consumers in Nepal?<\/strong><\/h4>\nCurrently, we are giving a 12- to 24-month warranty on boAt products. That is the biggest advantage. You can say it is its USP (unique selling point) because even if you purchase a premium product, you’ll not be sure if it’s from an authorized reseller. If it is not, the device’s repairability is severely limited.<\/p>\n
If you go with low-end products, the market is covered with a lot of Chinese and gray products. When purchasing such products, customers are never satisfied. They are constantly worried about the products’ repairability if something goes wrong.<\/p>\n
With Teletalk’s strong service center network, we can assure customers that they will get good service for boAt products. For now, warranties are the added benefits for our customers.<\/p>\n
Apart from these, we will try to make future products even more affordable. We also plan to introduce Nepal-centric products, but that’s a long process because this is the first step we’ve taken in introducing boAt to Nepal.<\/p>\n
Slowly and steadily, we plan to make boAt the No. 1 wearable brand in Nepal.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nTL: <\/span><\/strong>The prices of boAt audio products in Nepal appear to be quite expensive when compared to the prices of the company’s products in India. What’s the reason behind it?<\/strong><\/h4>\nIf you land on boAt’s official site, the price you see is D2C (Direct-to-Customer) pricing, which is a customer-centric price. It’s done to create some hype. But if you look at the actual price, the prices in India seem more expensive than in Nepal.<\/p>\n
Also, when importing products into Nepal, there are certain customs duty charges that add up. For that, the price of boAt products in Nepal is not that high; we’ve come to a very justifiable price for the Nepali market.<\/p>\n
If you look at other competitive brands in Nepal, we are in the same price range. We believe our products are even cheaper than other branded ones. We’ve set the price after careful consideration of Nepalis’ emotions and sentiments.<\/p>\n
There are also certain laws and regulations. VAT and tax may apply differently to different products. Therefore, when doing a cumulative calculation, there’s a certain but not vast increment.<\/p>\n
Similarly, you may have also heard about how products from India can be brought to Nepal for a cheaper price. But you also need to consider the hassle of bringing it from India and all the processing. Plus, you will also not get any warranty or guarantee coverage.<\/p>\n
So, I believe the pricing is in a very comfortable and sweet spot.<\/p>\n
