We speak with Vikas Bhardwaj, Brand Manager at Farmerz.Store, to drive us through the importance of social media in promoting online stores and what makes the products of Farmerz unique. Read on!
What inspired you to start Farmerz.Store? Tell us the story.
Since the beginning of civilization, farmers have always been catering to the needs of humanity. Just like an army officer; a farmer also contributes to our country and we must be thankful to the farming community. The word ‘farmer’ is very close to my soul as I belong to a village & farming background, so I choose Farmerz to be our brand name.
With a mission to provide men with pure and premium quality products all over the world, we have started with men’s grooming products. We will soon add a unique range of products to our brand.
What makes the products of Farmerz different and unique from other men’s grooming products in the market?
We, at Farmérz Luxury Care, consider ourselves more as a community and a movement, rather than just an enterprise. Our grooming products depict a journey of natural ingredients from farm cultivation to a fabulous formulation.
All our products are formulated in Canada by Dr PR Singh, who is a well-known cosmetologist withg more than 40 years of experience. After thorough research & development, our products have transformed into a pure luxurious experience. We are very meticulous about the quality of our products and believe in delivering our best.
How important is social media in promoting online stores and acquiring new customers? Is it an important marketing channel for Farmerz?
Indeed, social media is a very important platform to get started and to acquire new customers and keep their trust. With social media, you can reach your target audience easily and effectively. From product advertising, grooming tips, building confidence or even motivation, we cater to our customers in every possible way via social media.
When we started our Facebook page, we never expected the kind of love & support that we have had from our family of followers. For our team, social media is not just a place to advertise and reach customers but also a platform to share & spread happiness through our brand.

For those who are planning to start their business online, I suggest the following:
1. Start something that you are passionate about; not something that might be a big business.

4. Get all the information related to your business and don’t hold back and don’t get tired – keep yourself inspired.
