A brand, which began its dropshipping venture in October 2020, initially faced a 15-day shipment delay for orders from a warehouse in China. However, due to significant success, the business enhanced its services by introducing payment on delivery and relocated its stock to Italy. This allowed European customers to benefit from expedited shipping of 24-48 hours. In its launch phase in October 2020, the brand generated a revenue of €29,266, which escalated to €195,839 during the November scaling phase. Despite ceasing advertising efforts leading up to Christmas due to shipping delays, sales remained steady with €22,208 in revenue. After a pause post-Christmas, the store was relaunched in October 2021, achieving a notable €55,749 in revenue within a month, leveraging improved shipping times. The business owner has decided to sell the store as they plan to allocate their capital to another project demanding significant investment. The store offers promising prospects for prospective buyers with predictions indicating a potential turnover of at least €200,000, mirroring last year's trends. Currently, the business is generating approximately €2,500 daily, with an expenditure of €400 on Facebook advertising alone. The opportunity appears lucrative for a buyer, given the business's established market presence and performance metrics.
