Our project aims to develop a robust e-commerce platform that connects socially conscious consumers with ethically sourced products. The platform will leverage the latest in headless commerce and personalization to enhance user experience, while a subscription model ensures continuous engagement.

As a human rights-focused SME, we are launching a new e-commerce platform that centers around ethically produced, sustainable goods.

Additionally, the platform will introduce a subscription model to encourage regular purchases of staple ethical products. Social commerce features will be integrated to leverage community reviews and influencers in the advocacy space. Our timeline for this project is 12-16 weeks, aiming for a balance of quality execution and timely delivery.

📊Business Analysis

🎯Target Audience

Socially conscious consumers seeking ethically sourced and fair trade products, primarily aged 25-45, interested in sustainability and human rights advocacy.

⚠️Problem Statement

Conscious consumers often struggle to find a single marketplace that reliably curates ethical, fair trade products. This fragmentation creates friction in their purchasing journey and limits their advocacy potential.

💰Payment Readiness

There is a growing market demand for ethical products driven by increased consumer awareness and regulatory pressure for sustainable practices. Consumers are willing to pay for verified ethical products as part of their personal advocacy efforts.

🚨Consequences

Failing to introduce this platform will result in continued market fragmentation and missed opportunities to capture the growing segment of consumers committed to ethical shopping. This also delays our mission to facilitate broader social impact through commerce.

🔍Market Alternatives

Current alternatives include individual niche stores and larger platforms with limited ethical product selections, lacking comprehensive verification and community engagement features.

Unique Selling Proposition

Our platform uniquely offers verified ethical products, integrated social commerce features, and a seamless user experience through headless architecture. This positions us as a leader in the ethical e-commerce space.

📈Customer Acquisition Strategy

Our go-to-market strategy focuses on digital marketing campaigns targeting eco-conscious communities, partnerships with influencers in the advocacy space, and leveraging social media to engage and grow our audience rapidly.
