📊Business Analysis

🎯Target Audience

Local artisans, community-driven brands, and consumers interested in supporting community products and unique, personalized shopping experiences.

⚠️Problem Statement

Many local artisans and small community brands struggle to get visibility and reach a wider market due to limited e-commerce capabilities and lack of personalized customer engagement.

💰Payment Readiness

The target audience is ready to invest in solutions that offer a competitive advantage by increasing visibility and sales, especially as demand for unique, community-driven products grows.

🚨Consequences

Without this solution, local artisans will continue to face challenges in scaling their businesses, resulting in missed revenue opportunities and competitive disadvantage against larger brands.

🔍Market Alternatives

Current alternatives include basic e-commerce setups with limited personalization and community engagement features, which do not fully address the unique needs of community-driven brands.

Unique Selling Proposition

Our platform will uniquely merge headless commerce architecture with social commerce features, offering unparalleled personalization and community engagement, setting it apart from traditional e-commerce solutions.

📈Customer Acquisition Strategy

We plan to leverage community events, social media campaigns, and partnerships with local community organizations to attract artisans to our platform, focusing on the unique value proposition of tailored shopping experiences and community support.
