Description

This is a genuine opportunity to acquire a unique website with a unique business concept.
The website can be found at http://www.first-move.net
The concept is as follows: Users can sign on, register and create a dating profile for free including pictures, advanced description and videos.
This profile is kept completely private and can only be accessed by the use of a passphrase and a passkey.
The registered user can purchase personalised plastic dating cards from the website owner with the passphrase and the passkey printed on the front. These can then be given out to attractive individuals :)
These extracts from the Frequently Asked Questions will give you an idea what the site is about:

Why use Dating Cards?
Dating Cards are a modern, stylish method of introducing yourself. By handing a First Move Dating Card to an individual you come across as confident but respectful of the persons privacy. No more embarrassing chat up lines, no more exchanging of personal contact details. First Move Dating Cards allow you to seize the moment and approach that attractive stranger in the pub, club, train station, work place
Are we a dating agency?
No, the idea behind First Move is that you have already met the other person (however briefly) and found them attractive. Our site cannot be used to search for a new partner.
Why not just hand out my phone number?
Embarrassment, safety, effectiveness but above all, its just not a cool thing to do!
Is the site free to use?
Yes, it is completely free to register and set up your profile upon First-Move.net
There is of course a charge for the personalised Dating Cards.
How do I use the site?
Register, complete your profile and upload images, purchase your personalised Dating Cards, hand them out to those attractive strangers. Its as easy as that!
What is a Pass Key?
The Pass Key is automatically assigned to your profile when you create your account. This Pass Key is printed on your personalised cards and must be used to view your profile. In short it keeps your profile private from the public but allows individuals with your Dating Card in to view.
The websites primary source of income is the sale of cards, a cheap supplier / manufacturer has been supplying me with cards and the site comes with around 250/300 pre manufactured ready to personalise cards ready to go.
The arrangement I have with suppliers is as follows:
Quantity Total Price
500 £ 201.50
1,000 £ 323.00
1,500 £ 424.50
2,000 £ 531.00
2,500 £ 632.00

Cards to be held in stock and personalised as and when required..

Personalisation

Batch Size Price Per Batch
25 £ 1.75

The site has taken many hundreds of hours of programming and has great potential with the millions of dating site users worldwide.
Included in the sale is:
. Comprehensive admin backend
Website source code
Website graphics
Promotional material
Remainder of hosting package (about 14 months I think)
Existing database of registered users (about 50)
250 / 300 ready to personalise high quality plastic cards.
First-Move.net is currently receiving around 250 page views a month, has been fully indexed by Google, has a Google pagerank of 3 and has 78 registered backlinks (according to Yahoo).
This project would suite someone with the time and knowledge to promote the site to its full potential. Perhaps a webmaster with in depth knowledge of internet marketing, the market for these cards is no doubt huge, the site just requires an owner who knows how to take advantage of this!

Revenue Details

Cards sales are sporadic at the moment, the site requires someone with a good knowledge of Internet marketing to push it forward and increase the traffic.

    How to you go about personalising the cards? Do you have a special machine? If so, is this included in the sale?
