Channels
Retail / craft shops
Wholesale craft markets

Seasonality
Seasonal
Tourist seasons and festivals often matter more than a flat monthly average — plan inventory for those windows.
Locality

Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw material sourcing risk
Dependence on local suppliers for beads and metals may cause price volatility and supply disruptions.
Quality compliance
Handcrafted items require stringent quality checks; non‑compliance can lead to customer returns and brand damage.
Regulatory certification
Obtaining BIS or other product certifications is mandatory for market access but involves time‑consuming documentation.
Working capital cycle
Long lead times between raw material purchase and sales can strain cash flow, especially before subsidy disbursement.
