The Italian Artisans Marketplace is an innovative platform designed to connect local Tuscan artisans with consumers globally. Our mission is to promote sustainability, showcase traditional craftsmanship, and provide a unique shopping experience for handmade goods.
The global demand for handmade and sustainable products is on the rise. Consumers are increasingly seeking unique items that reflect their values and support local economies.
Our business model revolves around a commission-based structure where artisans pay a percentage of each sale made through the platform. This incentivizes us to promote their products actively.
Our marketing strategy will focus on digital marketing, social media campaigns, and partnerships with local tourism agencies.
