For a product like this, you'll want to have a good backstory. You won't be competing on price, but on quality and how the stories you tell about and around the product resonate. Social media is key. And in some ways, the brand that is Amazon may compete with the idea of artisan products, unless it's just one of several outlets you use for them.
