🌿 Hershini Herbals – Madurai
Hershini Herbals sells homemade herbal face packs, bath powders, and hair oils made from age-old Tamil recipes. The founder, a homemaker-turned-
entrepreneur, started small from her kitchen. She used Orka Stores to build a professional website in Tamil and English — without needing a developer.
Here’s how she promoted her store without paid ads:

- Added customer reviews and before-after photos to her site
Results?
She received 100+ organic orders in just 2 months — mostly from Chennai, Coimbatore, and even a few from Kerala — without running a single ad.
🌿 Mayura Herbals – Palani
Mayura Herbals is a homegrown brand that focuses on handmade herbal shampoos, oils, and wellness powders. The brand struggled on Instagram alone
due to low reach.
After switching to Orka Stores, they launched a mobile-friendly online store that:
- Showcased their full product range with clear Tamil descriptions

- Built trust with real testimonials and educational blog posts

Today, Mayura Herbals gets regular repeat orders, especially for their hibiscus hair care range — proving that trust + visibility = growth, not just money
spent on ads.
