Facteurs de risque

• Profit volatility from -$450 to $1,800/month despite $5,250–$9,000 revenue
• Very wide break-even range (9 to 999 months) suggesting unstable unit economics
• Low local purchasing power (GDP/capita $4,181) limiting discretionary spending on vintage items
• High competitive density (15 nearby competitors) raising pricing pressure and reducing repeat visits
• Brick-and-mortar fixed costs can deepen losses during slower trading months

Plan d’exécution

1. Validate demand locally with a 2-4 week pre-launch pop-up and capture buyer data at Kairouan foot-traffic hotspots
2. Tighten margins by setting a target gross margin per category (e.g., curated curated pieces) and sourcing with strict cost-of-goods limits
3. Launch a weekly “vintage drop” calendar to build repeat visits and smooth sales, with bundles to increase average order value
4. Optimize storefront economics: smaller footprint, high-rotation display, and reduced inventory risk with consignment or buy-back arrangements
5. Implement local marketing in Arabic/French: Instagram/TikTok reels, WhatsApp catalog, and partnerships with cafés/events to drive recurring customers
6. Track weekly KPIs (conversion rate, inventory turns, gross margin, cash runway) and trigger pricing/sort changes when targets miss for 3 consecutive weeks
