A dropship-based e-commerce store is up for auction, having demonstrated significant profitability. The business made $3,441.79 in net profit in August and is currently on track for over $40,000 in annual profit. Sales history since acquisition in July includes 23 orders with $3,977.75 in gross sales and $1,799.03 in net profit for that month. In August, there were 39 orders totaling $8,001.55 in gross sales. The September figures so far include 24 orders and $4,592.37 in gross sales. The store benefits from small, non-damageable items with free shipping from suppliers and minimal customer inquiries.
Organic traffic is the main sales driver, with visits originating from search engines and social media. Content generation is managed through an external service, with no investment in backlinks or paid advertising until recently experimenting with Google Ads. The partnership owning the store is selling due to the acquisition of another store with a superior domain name in the same market. Non-inventory expenses include hosting, a toll-free number, and the domain name, highlighting the low overhead costs.
The store boasts substantial profit margins, opening up opportunities for various paid advertising strategies. An affiliate program could further boost growth. Support is offered to the buyer for two weeks post-purchase. The opening bid is set at $25,000 with a reserve and buy-it-now price of $43,000. Payment methods accepted are Escrow.com or bank wire transfer. The seller is experienced and highly-rated on an auction platform, offering references upon request. A non-compete agreement will not be signed due to another store in the same market.
