A 6 years old eCommerce business in the internet industry earning $2,246 per month, selling 2000+ web templates for WordPress page builders (Elementor, etc.)
A digital e-commerce site offering over 2,000 web templates is currently under review for potential sale. The business generated $26,947 in trailing twelve-month (TTM) revenue and $21,499 in TTM profit, with $439 in revenue and $384 in profit last month. Competitors include established platforms in the market. Previously, the business incurred costs associated with an in-house designer, a liability no longer needed, reducing current expenses to $55 monthly for email services and live chat support.
Beyond templates, the company offers custom web design services which grossed $26,816.20 in 2022 until October, with higher earnings reported in previous years. This custom design aspect can be outsourced, adding value for potential buyers who aren't designers. The business operates through WordPress using subdomains and EasyDigitalDownloads for transactions. Currently employing basic SEO strategies, there is a significant growth potential through optimization techniques and increased marketing efforts, such as more frequent newsletters and social media or Google ads.
The platform has approximately 10,000 registered users with a segment receiving newsletters. Suggested growth strategies include adding more payment options, enhancing SEO, reintroducing old membership models, and exploring new advertising channels. Historically, revenue dropped in 2021 due to increased membership fees but saw spikes during promotional periods like Black Friday.
Additionally, there are plans to transition to a multi-vendor marketplace, supported by strategic resources like domain branding and preliminary designs, available for sale to interested buyers. Despite lower recent revenues, this represents a compelling opportunity for those prepared to invest in further marketing and SEO enhancements.
