📊Business Analysis

🎯Target Audience

Influencers and their followers, primarily on Instagram and TikTok, interested in fashion, beauty, and lifestyle products.

⚠️Problem Statement

Influencers currently lack dedicated platforms for seamlessly integrating e-commerce into their social media presence, limiting their ability to effectively monetize their influence.

💰Payment Readiness

Influencers are increasingly seeking ways to directly monetize their audiences due to market pressures and the high potential for revenue generation in the rapidly expanding influencer marketing sector.

🚨Consequences

Without a streamlined social commerce solution, influencers may face lost revenue opportunities and decreased competitiveness against those leveraging direct sales integrations.

🔍Market Alternatives

Current alternatives include using third-party e-commerce platforms without native social media integration or relying on manual redirection to external websites, which can disrupt the user experience.

Unique Selling Proposition

The platform's seamless integration with social media channels and emphasis on personalization and AR try-on capabilities offers a unique and engaging shopping experience not currently offered by competitors.

📈Customer Acquisition Strategy

We will leverage strategic partnerships with top influencers to demonstrate the platform's capabilities, alongside targeted marketing campaigns on social media to attract a broader base of influencers and brands.
