Online shopping enables customers to save valuable time and money, it also is extremely convenient as you can search for everything you need, compare prices and then place orders, all in a matter of minutes. Following the success of findmyfare.com, we felt that we should expand our e-commerce model to other high potential industries. Sri Lanka’s retail sector is really thriving and there are so many high-quality brands available in the country, therefore we thought that an online retail platform would really help retailers and customers alike. retailgenius.com is the first premium online market place of its kind and will play a crucial role in supporting the growth of the local e-commerce industry, as well as the retail sector at large.”

The retailgenius.com site will also promote the different retail brands it features, by engaging with customers through Facebook, Google Ads, newsletters, radio and TV commercials, as well as ongoing press coverage. The retailgenius.com website will essentially invest in millions of rupees to promote the brands that are featured on the site and will handle all customer queries and support through a designated BPO call centre. Sri Lanka’s leading delivery companies have also partnered with retailgenius.com to provide added logistical support.
