Avanti feeds don’t have an e-commerce site available online. You can find details about the products (like raw shrimp, and cooked shrimps, Profeed 3M, Prostar, Titan, Manamei, etc ) on their website.

Few of their products like manamei 1 25kg/bag, manamei 3SP 25kg/bag are available on aqua deals site, from there you can place an order. You can also check details about their products on IndiaMART and further contact there.

Conclusion – What’s Unique in Avanti Feeds Marketing?

Avanti Feeds is a leading provider of high-quality shrimp feed, the best technical support to the farmer, and caters to the quality standards of global shrimp customers, but they lack a good market strategy. 

They don’t have any recognition-based marketing strategies in implementation. Even in this new world era where everything is now digitized, they don’t have any approach to the digital methods of marketing or advertising.

At present, the business field of such companies lacks such approaches which have led to the smooth movement of it up till now but the implementation of newer and social media-based marketing technology which are more prevalent for the time being could lead to an upward shift in the course of action.

With the increasing importance of digital marketing, learning about the growing field is an important step. If you would like to learn more and develop skills, check out IIDE’s 4 Month Digital Marketing Course to learn more.
