We are looking to create a tailored e-commerce platform to sell podcast-related merchandise, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies. Our goal is to enhance customer engagement through personalization and explore subscription-based models to increase revenue streams. This project aims to build a seamless shopping experience integrating social commerce and AR features.

📋Project Details

Our SME company, operating within the Podcast & Radio industry, seeks to develop an innovative e-commerce platform primarily focused on podcast merchandise. The platform will utilize headless commerce architecture to enable rapid adaptability and enhanced performance. We aim to integrate personalized shopping experiences, where recommendations are tailored based on user behavior and preferences. Additionally, we see a significant opportunity in implementing subscription models for exclusive content and merchandise bundles, tapping into recurring revenue streams.

We plan to use platforms like Shopify Plus or WooCommerce, supported by payment gateways such as Stripe and PayPal, with content managed through systems like Contentful and search functionality powered by Algolia. The project targets a timeline of 12-16 weeks with a budget between $25,000 and $75,000.

📊Business Analysis

🎯Target Audience

Podcast listeners and fans interested in purchasing merchandise and exclusive content related to their favorite shows.

⚠️Problem Statement

Our current e-commerce setup lacks personalization, leading to low customer engagement and sales conversion rates. We are missing out on potential recurring revenue streams without a subscription model.

💰Payment Readiness

The target audience is ready to pay for solutions that offer exclusive podcast content and unique merchandise as it enhances their overall listening experience and provides a sense of community.

🚨Consequences

If this problem isn't addressed, our company risks losing revenue from missed sales opportunities, and failing to capitalize on the growing trend of subscription-based commerce in the podcast industry.

🔍Market Alternatives

Current alternatives are generic e-commerce platforms without personalization and subscription capabilities, limiting customer engagement and retention compared to competitors who offer tailored experiences.

Unique Selling Proposition

Our platform will differentiate by combining cutting-edge personalization, AR features, and a unique subscription model, providing a comprehensive and engaging shopping experience for podcast fans.

📈Customer Acquisition Strategy

We will employ social media marketing, collaborations with influencers and podcast hosts, and targeted advertising to attract and convert our target audience, leveraging their existing affinity for podcast content.
