Each of our gifts’ packaging is a personalized experience where the product is wrapped, note added as per the customer’s choice. We are in constant touch with our customers, should anything go south. The basic idea we wish to convey is “Gifts for All” or “Sabke liye kuch na kuch.”
They further stated, “One day after a party, we had 5 photo frames and 4 Ganpati idols. We understand the nightmare that is arriving at a party empty handed, or having a strict budget to gifts, and even lacking a creative insight into gifting. So, we decided to bring in affordable and unique gifts to the market. Delivered to your doorstep, we promise gifts that are unique, affordable and quirky at the same time, they are fit for all. Geek Monkey now has gifts starting Rs. 99 for people looking for budget ideas. We also have the fully customized gifts like the String art and clone dolls, which range up to Rs. 10,000.”
To help their customers in a better way, this one-stop online platform with wide array of gifts has segregated options into New Arrivals, Unique Gifts, Shop by Person, Home & Lifestyle, Gifts by Occasion, and Festive Gifts. From a keychain to valuable accessories that ranging from Rs. 99 to Rs. 10,000, Geek Monkey houses everything that it needs to have for the customers.
Geek Monkey helps its customers right from when they first arrive at our website to when they have received the product and even after. The start-up consider these methodologies, WhatsApp Support: It has WhatsApp support channel, where users come with so many questions like how does a product work, will they get it in a stipulated timeframe etc. The support team handles each query with a smile and tries to explain everything to customers in detail.
Besides it, Geek Monkey has call confirmation for cash on delivery (COD) orders. The support team calls all people with COD orders to ensure that an order has genuinely been placed. They also ensure that the customer is willing to pay an additional shipping fee by keeping the order as COD. Interestingly, Geek Monkey gives a discount if the order is prepaid.
