Throw a rocking Diwali party with Clappily!

Diwali is a grand affair in India and as the festival is nearing, we realize that there are so many things left to be planned. Diwali sees relatives and friends coming together and hosting parties at their houses. Now, we know the hassle that is hosting a good Diwali party and making arrangements for the same, to ensure your party is flawless. So, to make our lives a little bit simpler, here are a few tips that you can consider to make your party a success:

1. Gifting:

It’s a common practice during Diwali to give gifts to the people who come to your home. When you actually get down to it, the moving around and looking for gifts for every individual can be a tiring process. But what if we tell you that this entire process can be a lot fun and can be done from the comfort of your homes? Yes, you heard that right. Read on to know how.

       

      2. Chocolates:

No one can keep the kids (and a lot of adults too!) away from chocolates. Also, chocolates are the best way to make yourself popular among the kids. Indulge in something more personal this year by getting customized chocolates made instead of giving kids the same old store brought chocolates. There are a lot of vendors who can get customized chocolates made in a short span of time.  Get your family name or, if you’re feeling creative, the name of the event stamped onto the chocolates – that’s guaranteed to give a wow factor to your guests!

      3.  Snacks:

No festivity in India is complete without some scrumptious snacks! No one can keep themselves from indulging in a few sweets and snacks that are made especially for this occasion, even if it means gaining a few kilos! However, making all these snacks is not an easy task and you need to have a lot of patience and efforts to make enough for everyone. And serving cold snacks is as good as social suicide, isn’t it? But there is a simple way out of all of this. Intrigued? Read on to know more details!

      4. Bakery:

One way to make your party stand out from the rest is by adding pastries and cakes to the traditional sweets to your scrumptious Diwali menu. You can make them yourselves (which will be a long process) or you can get made to order cupcakes.

We know planning the perfect event is definitely not an easy task and you need to start planning and stay on top of things in advance. That is why we will be your knights in shining armor, at least when it comes to planning any event. With the launch of the Clappily customer app, you can find all of this easily on your phone!

India’s unorganised bakery sector needs a platform, in order to survive

India’s demography is changing. With the country’s rising living standards, parties have become a part of life to many. The growing party culture among the youth demographic, as well as high net worth individuals, creates high demand for party supplies in this segment. For every successful party, the right decoration is a must have as it serves the first impression of the host.

Variety is surely a must, but one should be able to understand what to highlight according to the party’s theme and this is the point where party decorators step in to take charge of all the puzzling and stressful decorations for your celebration.

This rise in demand for party-related decoration pieces has given rise to many startups which are catering to this new section. Consumer is spoilt for options today for the decorators and party suppliers offer them huge market to choose from. Indian party decoration market is worth $ 1.5 Billion and is growing speedily.

The party suppliers and decorators are making huge with the latest fad of ‘Big fat Birthdays’. Choosing a simple balloon for kids’ party is also tedious as there is a lot of variety ranging from theme balloons to designer ones. Decorative garland, fairy lights, metallic streamers, bunting, honeycomb balls, banners, wall hangings, ribbon line, candles, table covers, centrepieces, party hats, party danglers, table mats, paper garlands, pom poms, plastic flowers, paper lamps, paper fans, tassel garlands, ostentatious veils, torans, door hangings, lanterns, bandhani drapes, and many more decoration items complete a party’s look.

With less time on hand to go hunting for various elements to make a party “happening”, an increasing number of people in the metros are opting for party suppliers. Stores dealing in party supplies burn a hole in pockets by supplying stuff at exorbitant prices.

In such a scenario, those petty stores who have it all for a happening party but not much network are left behind in the competition. However, if these stores tie up with a tech platform which can give them a wider market and recognition, their business can boost too.

Consumer is tight on time today and throwing away money like water for getting needs fulfilled. Home deliveries have occupied maximum portion of urban middle class’s life and if party supplies and decorators reach the venue with a click of button, it will be a boon for the host. Unorganised party suppliers and decorators can make huge out of such bond.

An event planning mobile app like Clappily can register individual party suppliers and decorators on their platform and help them increase the reach and depth of India’s unorganised party decoration market. Clappily is a marketplace both for merchants and consumers, shortly available both on Android and iOS. The app becomes a single destination for varied party needs that customers may have, decoration arrangements being an increasingly important part of the mix.
