Alert Service for Standalone Releases of Exclusive Sewing Patterns

Opportunity: Many users are interested in buying individual sewing patterns from subscription-based services like Closet Core Crew, but they don't want to commit to a full subscription or deal with the uncertainty of when (or if) these patterns will be available individually. Right now, only a few patterns from these services are eventually sold as standalone items, and it's often hard to know when that will happen.

Product Suggestion: A service (like a website, newsletter, or app) that keeps track of and alerts users when exclusive sewing patterns from various subscription services (such as Closet Core Crew, Seamwork, and others) become available for individual purchase.

Features:

• Tracking of patterns from multiple popular subscription-based pattern designers.
• User accounts to follow specific designers or even specific patterns.
• Notification system (email, app push notification) when a followed pattern is released individually.
• Direct links to the purchase page for the individual pattern.
• (Optional) Historical data on release trends for different designers.

Expected Benefit:

• For Users: This helps crafters get the specific patterns they want more cost-effectively and reliably. They save money by avoiding unwanted bundled content and save time by not having to constantly check multiple designer websites or social media for individual releases. It also reduces the fear of missing out or the frustration of patterns staying exclusive indefinitely.
• For the Service Provider: There's potential for affiliate revenue from pattern sales, premium subscriptions for advanced features (like instant notifications or a wider range of tracked designers), and advertising revenue from sewing-related businesses.
