The problem it solves

Finding other indie shops worth partnering with means hours of searching Instagram and guessing who might respond. You want a solid list of real contacts, not just a pile of open browser tabs.

Who it fits

Independent retailers or boutique owners looking to build partnerships or cross-promotions.

How it works

  1. You give the system a shop to use as a reference
  2. It searches for similar independent shops in relevant regions
  3. Owner names, Instagram handles, and emails are gathered for each
  4. Relevance notes are added for each shop
  5. The finished list is emailed to you as a spreadsheet
What you get

Partner shops found ready to contact

You get a ready-to-use list of similar independent shops in your target region, complete with owner names and contact details.

What you get

A spreadsheet of similar shops with contact details ready for outreach.

What you need

An email account to receive the finished list.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
