The opportunities the business/market is facing
Our main objective as a brand is to grow digitally. Currently, our main sales channel is our physical shop. For artisan businesses, it is very difficult to grow due to the complexity and high costs of the digital environment. In order to reach a larger number of customers, it is necessary to have a very powerful web positioning, for this reason our main strategy in the coming years will be focused on our technological improvement and advertising.

Thanks to social media, small businesses can show the essence of their business. On these platforms, the customer can observe how they create, develop and grow their product. It is an opportunity to make themselves known and reach a wider audience.
The challenges the business/market is facing
Currently, one of the main problems for local businesses is the increase in the cost of materials, transport and basic supplies for the development of the business. This increase in costs implies an extra effort to compete with big brands, as they don’t have the same resources or taxes, and they are constantly reinventing themselves in order not to be left behind.
