Problem: It gives artists and creators an affordable way to share their work and earn recurring income while giving subscribers a personal, offline alternative to digital content, bills, and impersonal mass-produced goods.
For: People who enjoy tangible creative goods, stationery, letters, art, junk journaling, and supporting small artists. The model can also serve niche audiences such as men, children, classic-car enthusiasts, golfers, hunters, survival enthusiasts, or fans of a particular story world.
