The problem it solves
This business addresses the difficulty of sourcing unique vintage watches from international markets, allowing buyers to discover and purchase items directly from local shops.
How it makes money
The business could charge a service fee or take a commission on sales made through its platform.
Skills you need
Skills required include negotiation, online marketing, customer service, and knowledge of vintage watches.
The market, and why this works now
Watch collectors seeking authentic vintage timepieces often struggle to find reliable international sources. Utilizing platforms like Instagram Shopping allows the service to showcase curated selections from local shops, enabling real-time purchases. In the first year, the founder will face challenges in maintaining adequate inventory levels, as building relationships with local retailers in various countries requires significant time and effort.
