The Battle Plan

The Winning Angle

"CardClan has validated demand for digital cards in customer engagement, but gaps in support and niche customization leave room for a vertical-specific clone. Focus on industries where personal touches drive retention, like real estate or consulting."

MVP Build

Robust multi-language support to capture non-English markets and address current complaints.

MVP Drop

Advanced analytics dashboards (Distraction: core value is in card creation and sending, not deep data mining).
Social media integrations (Costly: can be deferred until after establishing niche dominance).

Industry-specific template packs (e.g., for real estate or dentists) to reduce setup time and increase relevance.

Robust multi-language support to capture non-English markets and address current complaints.

Marketing Hook
