🎯Target Audience

Eco-conscious consumers and fashion enthusiasts interested in sustainable practices and circular fashion models, primarily aged 18-45, looking for unique and affordable clothing options.

⚠️Problem Statement

The fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to global waste. Consumers are increasingly seeking sustainable alternatives but often struggle to find platforms that facilitate easy access to circular fashion. This platform is critical to address this gap.

💰Payment Readiness

The target audience is motivated by regulatory pressures pushing for sustainable practices, and there is a competitive advantage in providing a desirable solution that aligns with their ethical values, promising cost savings and revenue impact by retaining loyal customer bases.

Currently, alternatives include traditional retail outlets and a limited number of online platforms with unsatisfying user experiences. Competitors in the online circular fashion space are emerging, but many lack advanced technology features that enhance user engagement.

⭐Unique Selling Proposition

Our platform’s USP lies in its comprehensive adoption of headless commerce to provide unparalleled flexibility and personalization, AR technology for enhanced user interaction, and social commerce features for community-driven engagement.

We will employ a multi-channel marketing strategy, leveraging social media platforms, influencer partnerships, and sustainability-focused online communities to attract and retain customers, emphasizing the unique value proposition of sustainable fashion.
