Fountain Pen Specialty Shop
Investment Pitch Deck

Why Now  and What Problem Are You Solving?

The market is experiencing a strong handwriting revival, driven by digital fatigue and a desire for analog mindfulness. The urgent problem is the lack of a dedicated, high-touch retail experience where customers can test premium writing instruments and receive expert advice.

The Analog Gap

• Digital burnout drives demand for tactile hobbies.
• Existing retail lacks expert staff and hands-on testing.
• Consumers seek high-quality executive gift pens.

What Do You Do  and Why Will You Win?

We operate a luxury pens retail store specializing in fine writing instruments and building a pen enthusiast community. We win through a superior, hands-on customer experience, including a dedicated testing bar, and recurring revenue from consumables like artisanal ink brands and calligraphy workshops.

Experience and Expertise

• Offer the best place to test fountain pens in person.
• Curate exclusive inventory and fine stationery store items.
• Generate recurring revenue from workshops and consumables.

Who Buys  and How Big is the Opportunity?

The primary segments are affluent professionals, serious hobbyists, and gift-givers seeking high-quality, meaningful purchases. The opportunity is substantial, with projected annual revenue hitting $3.74 million by 2030, driven by increasing visitor conversion rates (3.2% to 6.8%) and repeat customer engagement.

Scaling the Niche

• Target high-AOV customers seeking luxury pens retail.
• Grow repeat buyers from 18% to 38% of new customers by 2030.
• Focus on high-margin fountain pen starter kit for beginners and gift sets.
