Factores de riesgo

• Negative profitability scenario: monthly profit ranges down to -$1569
• Very long and uncertain payback: break-even spans 37 to 999 months
• Low local purchasing power: GDP/capita is $3426, limiting discretionary gift spend
• Competitive pressure: 8 nearby competitors likely compress margins
• Narrow revenue band ($7560–$12960) increases risk from seasonal demand swings

Plan de ejecución

1. Validate demand in Puerto Cortés with 2-4 weeks of foot-traffic and pricing tests (best-sellers, price points, bundle acceptance)
2. Differentiate the store with high-margin curated gifts (local artisan products, personalization, gift wrapping) and publish clear value bundles
3. Reduce break-even risk by tightening costs (optimize rent/location spend, limit slow-moving inventory, implement weekly markdown rules)
4. Launch event-driven sales calendar (holidays, birthdays, graduations) with pre-orders and deposits to stabilize cash flow
5. Implement a local acquisition plan: WhatsApp catalog, Google Business Profile, and partnerships with hotels, restaurants, and event venues
6. Track unit economics weekly (gross margin by category, inventory turns, conversion rate) and cut or double down within 30-45 days
