Another important factor is the sales of the online stores in Bahrain. The following graph is a huge boost up for the company:

3.1.3. A comparison of the prices:

The major companies which are offering the water dispensers in Bahrain are mostly international brands like Kenwood and Nestle. As far as the local brands are concerned, most of them are selling their products on platforms like Wal-Mart, Amazon Inc., Lulu Group, Carrefour, Spinneys, Choithram, Al Othaim, Al Raya, Al Sadhan, Fu-Com, and Balsharaf etc. Companies that are working on the local scale like Jalal Sons Ionics, IWS Bahrain, Nikai, Zenet, Meenumix, Midea, and Aftron have been offering their products on platform discussed above at variable process. Although, it is a great strategy but they don’t have their own websites for the clients which is a hurdle since consumers cannot approach them directly. The process pf the water dispenses of these companies range in the price range of 40-80 BHD (EXTRA, 2018) which is higher as compared to the package that Best Water filters In Bahrain will be offering. Best Water filters In Bahrain has the price range of 40-50 BHD which is feasible.
