It holds 180 units of the top-selling LED Ring Light Set and other lighting products, valued at $3,900 wholesale and $16,000 retail. The store uses Facebook ads for marketing and leverages influencers to boost product visibility.
The store employs automated marketing strategies and has gathered significant consumer data using the Facebook pixel since inception. It has a substantial digital footprint, with 2,182 SMS and 2,812 email subscribers, and a strong presence on Instagram with 4,300 followers.

Despite its profitability, the owner has paused operations as of January 4th, 2021 to focus on a demanding job in the tech industry, leaving significant potential for growth in the hands of a new owner.
