Offshore Oil and Gas collaborates with a leading publisher specializing in reference maps, books, and vessel registers for the global offshore oil and gas industry. Their extensive product portfolio includes over 200 titles, available in both database and CD-ROM formats. These products encompass activity and concession maps, guides on offshore oil and gas field development, and vessel registers.
The business generates revenue through direct sales on its platform, which attracts customers worldwide. A significant discount agreement with their supplier enables the company to sell items at recommended retail prices, ensuring these products are not available cheaper elsewhere online. The supplier manages all international dispatches, meaning the company only needs minimal administrative work once an order is placed, allowing them to effortlessly collect commissions while awaiting incoming orders.
The site experiences a relatively low number of unique visitors, but boasts an exceptionally high conversion rate of sales per visit. This is attributed to the distinctive nature of the reference materials offered, which are not available elsewhere (with the sole exception being the supplier). The niche and exclusive content appeal to a global audience, resulting in significant sales despite the modest traffic levels.
