Tupperware India ventures into Dehradun, Uttarakhand

Tupperware India has forayed into Dehradun, Uttarakhand, with the launch of its exclusive outlet at Rajpur Road. This launch is in line with the global premium homeware brand’s recent announcement to pursue a multi-channel sales strategy.

Besides opening exclusive brand outlets, Tupperware India has also forayed into the e-tail market in August 2019. Now, its products are listed on Amazon, Flipkart and Paytm, all in harmony with existing direct selling channels. The company also plans to introduce its own web-store as well.

Since August, the brand has unveiled 20 exclusive brand outlets across 14 cities in India.

Talking about the launch of the exclusive brand outlet, Leena Kohli said, “Tupperware products are synonymous with bright colors, high utility value, practical designs and demonstrability, which can be effectively showcased through these outlets. By displaying the entire range under one roof, we will be able to enhance customer engagement and increase the ticket size per purchase. We plan to organize engagement activities on-site which will attract potential buyers and proliferate the brand pull.”
