Artist cannot find an online sales platform that balances traffic, fees, and ease of use.
Existing platforms either have high fees (Etsy) or low traffic and discovery (ACCGOODS, Kofi), leaving the artist without a cost-effective way to reach buyers.

App Concept
Artisan Reach
A marketplace aggregator that connects independent artists to multiple sales channels, offering built-in traffic generation tools and a low flat fee. It helps sellers list once and sync across platforms while providing SEO and marketing support to drive buyers to their stores.
Key Features
- Multi-channel listing and inventory sync across Etsy, Shopify, Kofi, and niche art platforms
- Built-in SEO optimization and social media marketing tools to boost traffic
- Flat monthly fee with no per-sale commission, undercutting Etsy's costs
- Analytics dashboard to track sales, traffic, and fees across channels
Target Users: Independent artists and small creative business owners selling handmade goods online, particularly those earning under $50k/year who find Etsy fees prohibitive.
Revenue Model: $29/month flat SaaS subscription, with optional add-ons for advertising management (10% of ad spend).
