Digital Transformation Proposal

The Challenge

Cairo Flea Market brings together amazing vendors and unique products once a month. But here's the thing—one day isn't enough.

  • 📦 Exhibitors have remaining inventory after the event ends
  • ⏱️ Limited selling window (just one day per month)
  • 💔 Lost revenue opportunities between physical events
  • 🌐 No continuous customer engagement
  • 📱 Missed online shopping audience
