A garden gift product business, specializing in items primarily made in the USA, is on sale. This business is known for its sustainable theme and unique offerings, with a significant portion of its best sellers being wind chimes. The majority of products are drop-shipped from two manufacturers, keeping inventory costs minimal. Historically, the business has generated up to $400K in sales but faced challenges during the recession, leading to a discontinuation of several products. The business holds a registered trademark, and all associated domains come with the sale, with transfer fees to be covered by the buyer. The listing is open until an acceptable offer is received, with a minimum offer threshold of $15K.
Currently, the business ranks highly in Google searches for several key terms related to their products, and they maintain a nearly perfect rating on Google Products and Yahoo Shopping. The store is hosted on a popular e-commerce platform, while the blog is self-hosted. Financial documents and historical page views from 2011 are accessible for prospective buyers. They have also integrated Google Adsense, contributing a small additional revenue stream.
The business has been downsized since 2010, operating within a small, cost-free space. Despite the downsizing, revenues have stabilized to a profitable state in 2011. The company experienced notable holiday sales, and overall revenue from mid-2010 to mid-2011 was approximately $88K. The sale is primarily due to time and resource constraints faced by the current owners.
