Advantage ImagesBazaar.com
According to many surveys, in visual communication, a product
or service meant for a particular population has better chances of success if
it carries a face that viewers can relate to. With India emerging as a
leading market for an ever-increasing range of products, there has been a
surge in demand for images that show an Indian face in an Indian setting. The
portal offers an immense advantage with its vast database of images that are
reflective of India.
Building a community through ShotIndia.com
