A well-established e-commerce store, launched in April 2012, is up for sale. It specializes in unique items that are difficult to find in physical stores, hosted on the Volusion platform with a diverse catalog of over 200 products. In its initial seven months, the store generated sales exceeding $20,000, excluding sales from other channels like Amazon and Etsy. The store's success is attributed to its unique design and user-friendly navigation, receiving positive feedback from customers regarding its ease of use.
The business requires minimal management, initially consuming 15-20 hours per week but eventually needing only about 8 hours weekly. Currently limited to U.S. shipping, there is potential for international expansion. The seller is transitioning to new ventures and seeks an enthusiastic buyer to continue running this flourishing business from home with no overhead costs.
Included in the sale are a brandable domain name, digital assets, ongoing Adwords campaigns, access to Etsy information, a toll-free number, and 30 days of post-sale assistance. However, current inventory, a Stamps.com account, and credit card payment processing accounts are excluded. Monthly expenses include the Volusion store package, a toll-free number, Stamps.com fees, and optional Adwords costs.
The store ranks high on search engines like Yahoo and Google, often appearing on the front page. With a modest requirement for inventory investment, the business presents a lucrative opportunity with products selling at significant markups. The seller emphasizes the smooth operational transition and potential for growth, making it ideal for those seeking a profitable online venture.
