The project appears to be a high-risk or potentially inauthentic submission. The domain 'storedfashion.com' returns zero search results and does not appear to be indexed or active, directly contradicting claims of 5,000-8,000 monthly active users. The use of a temporary email address (temp62485@gmail.com) and the absence of verifiable team or business details further suggest this is either a placeholder, a very early concept, or a fabricated submission. No evidence of the claimed 'live working demo' or user traction could be found.

Project Details

Description
Stored Fashion transforms Instagram content into revenue-generating storefronts. The platform automatically imports Instagram posts, intelligently matches products from your brand catalog, and converts user-generated content into shoppable galleries that drive sales and boost SEO visibility. Perfect for e-commerce brands looking to leverage their Instagram following without manual product tagging.
Audience Reach
Stored Fashion currently reaches 5,000-8,000 monthly active users across e-commerce platforms and social media channels. Our user base includes fashion retailers, DTC (direct-to-consumer) brands, and small-to-medium e-commerce businesses (SMBs) using the platform to convert Instagram followers into customers. Early adopters report 15-40% increases in social commerce conversion rates. The platform is designed to scale to 50,000+ users as we expand partnerships with e-commerce platforms and marketing agencies serving the fashion and retail sectors.
Target Users
Stored Fashion is built for e-commerce brands and fashion retailers who want to maximize revenue from their Instagram presence without manual effort. Our ideal customers include: (1) Fashion retailers and boutiques with established Instagram followings looking to convert browsers into buyers; (2) DTC (direct-to-consumer) brands selling apparel, accessories, and lifestyle products; (3) Small-to-medium e-commerce businesses (SMBs) with 5,000-100,000 Instagram followers; (4) Social commerce agencies managing multiple client accounts. Primary pain point: manual product tagging in Instagram posts takes 2-4 hours per week and results in low engagement on product-focused content. Our users benefit by automating this process, increasing impulse purchases through shoppable galleries, and improving search engine visibility through structured product data. Notable early adopters include boutique fashion retailers in the EU and US with monthly sales increases of 20-35%.
