Salt ’n Lamp LLC. is a unique Saudi Brand that offers Unique Authentic Himalayan Salt Products that are made with old salt crystals, mined from the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains in Pakistan, known for its ability to ionize the air, therefore enhancing human well-being and improving health.
Fahad Wardi, Founder and CEO is a young Saudi E-Commerce Entrepreneur, who is fascinated with this idea. He studied International Business at UMass Boston in Boston, Massachusetts. He was a member of the team who launched Virgin Mobile KSA in 2014. Later he worked as a General Manager of a well known Advertising Agency in Jeddah but soon he figured he had no more to give and decided to quit, without a back up plan. Then he decided to migrate to Canada. But a mere coincidence changed his whole career and life.
Ever since he was a student in the United States, Mr. Wardi was fond of E-Commerce. He had a certificate of High Performance by E-Bay.com, though at that time it didn't come to his mind that he was going to be a disruptor in E-Commerce Business. His study and life abroad for a few years taught him more about life, culture, and people.
“First when I came to Saudi Arabia, I had the opportunity to experience business in the telecommunication field and was a member of the team who launched Virgin Mobile in Saudi Arabia. The idea of Salt ’n Lamp came when my mother had to travel to India for Medical Treatment. Few days earlier, a friend of mine on Facebook posted a visual inspiring image, but what caught my attention was a glowing rock like lamp in the background,” Mr. Wardi told Saudi Gazette.
He searched online for a few days and found out about lighting Salt Rocks and then he discovered the Himalayan Salt lamps. “I read about it throughly and it was too goof to be true. It is a magical source of natural, healthy, eco-friendly light. In the mean time I continued my plans to leave for Canada, but I asked my mother, Mrs. Nahlah Yafie, to ask about these lamps so I can try them myself to figure it out. The very first turning point was when the Indian customs did not let these lamps pass easily; this is what really intrigued me more and more. Finally my mother was able to arrive safely in Jeddah with eight Himalayan Salt lamps. I picked one of them to place it at my workstation, which totally changed my feelings and mood from depression to creative and focused. The impact of this lamp drove me to the business. In less than 20 days of enjoying the salt lamp benefits, I decided to launch Salt ’n Lamp.” Mr. Wardi said.
Talking about E-Commerce Business, Mr. Wardi supported the idea that he wants his Saudi brand, Salt ’n Lamp to expand globally and to implement his own online business experience and standards to the Saudi Market.
Mr. Wardi is concerned about his customer experience with saltnlamp.com, so he took action and he registered the E-Store with Ministry of Commerce, Google, and signed a deal with UPS to secure logistics.
His advice to new entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia is to go for online businesses in forms of E-Commerce and M-Commerce platforms and not to spend money and effort to have an old fashioned physical store, unless it’s selling food or providing tangible services. "Let us all go with the Vision 2030. Online stores give the chance to spread more awareness and require less time and effort," said Mr. Wardi.
Saltnlamp.com offers free secured delivery on the same day in Jeddah and to every single part of Saudi Arabia in just 3 to 14 days with hassle free refundable guarantee.
Soon Saltnlamp.com will provide different types of edible organic Himalayan salts with different colors and sizes that would give more options to people with different health status to suit their needs.
Mr. Wardi aims to be the very first organic salt manufacturer in the Middle East to offer organic salt with affordable prices to everybody to enable better health conditions and provide high quality, organic, eco-friendly products.
He said that being honest with people really matters as no one will surf the web and buy something unless they want to save time and money with high quality products.
Himalayan Salt lamps positively affect one's health. It helps to improve breathing and respiratory ability such as asthma, congestion, high fever, snoring and relive allergies. The positivity lifts up the mood by sending negative ions in to the air thereby reducing the suffering of mental fatigue, depression, mood swings and more.
