Bartering needs a skill especially when you shop in Indian markets. You have to know how to bargain somehow and make deals for the stuff you wanted to buy. Some may make deals but actually they are offering a big price at first and the said discount is the real price. First of all, to get to India, you got to have an Indian visa first.

Another important thing about bartering in the markets of India is money. People who sell there don't accept credit cards and bank machines aren't used. Also, when you used a large bill, they find it hard to get a change so it's better to prepare smaller bills.

Before buying something, check in the internet if there are similar products with better quality and costs. Some vendors sell exactly the same items in a higher price. You have to have an idea about the working price so you can have a good barter.

The most important factor in dealing with market people is to have fun. There are vendors who give you fixed prices. You don't have to make deals. It may waste your time and effort. If prices are negotiable, don't also barter too much. You may find the best item in another store if you know when the best time to do bartering is.

There are also threats when you shop in the market areas of India. Children who seem to be asking for alms may not really be asking for alms. Some could rob you and hurt you in any way. India is a populated area. Know how when to trust and when to be firm. It is also helpful to ask for an escort, chaperon or concierge from a reliable agency. Moreover, be mindful of the people around you.

Marketing tactics are crucial to your bartering needs in India but in order for you to practice negotiating well with your clients; at the least, you have to lengthen your stay in the country. You must get an visa.

Applying for an Indian visa is easier than finding a good barter trade. You just need to pass some requirement to the agency for visa application. The requirements might include your passport valid for at least six months, two passport- sized photos taken within the last six months (eyeglasses are not allowed), proof of travel to India, proof of residency, Indian visa application form and the India visa payment.
