📋Project Details

Our enterprise-level social enterprise is on a mission to support local artisans and bring their unique craftsmanship to the world stage.

📊Business Analysis

🎯Target Audience

Local artisans seeking global exposure and customers interested in ethically sourced, handcrafted goods.

⚠️Problem Statement

Local artisans often struggle to reach a global market due to limited resources and exposure. There is a critical need for a platform that showcases their craftsmanship while facilitating sustainable and fair trade practices.

💰Payment Readiness

Consumers are increasingly willing to support sustainable and ethical products, driven by a global shift towards conscious consumerism, offering a significant market opportunity.

🚨Consequences

Failure to develop this platform will result in missed opportunities for artisans to expand their market reach, ultimately affecting their livelihoods and the preservation of cultural crafts.

🔍Market Alternatives

Currently, artisans rely on fragmented solutions such as local markets and small online stores with limited reach, lacking the integrated storytelling and global access this platform aims to provide.

Unique Selling Proposition

Our platform uniquely combines storytelling with e-commerce, offering a seamless user experience while emphasizing sustainability and cultural heritage, setting us apart from traditional marketplaces.

📈Customer Acquisition Strategy

Our strategy involves partnerships with cultural organizations, social media campaigns highlighting artisans' stories, and leveraging influencer marketing to attract a conscious consumer base.
