An individual is selling an ecommerce business specializing in custom leather iPhone cases, presenting a genuine opportunity for those interested in entering the ecommerce space. The business, which can be easily managed from home due to its limited product range, was acquired a year ago with ambitions for expansion. However, personal circumstances have hindered the owner's ability to invest time in its growth.
Significant progress was made in collaboration with a manufacturer to develop iPhone 5 versions of the cases, and this manufacturer will remain available for future partnerships. Despite these efforts, the website currently receives minimal visitors and only generates occasional sales due to a lack of promotional activities.
The sale includes the custom web design and a stock of over 2,500 cases, emphasizing the inherent value in the inventory alone. The store has previously received exposure on notable platforms such as Lifehacker and MacStories. It operates on Shopify, which entails modest monthly operational costs, and the domain registration with a prominent provider remains valid until August 2014.
The business, which is based in Australia, requires someone willing to invest effort in marketing to enhance its market presence. The seller expresses regret over the need to part with the business and extends best wishes for its future potential under new ownership.
