A web development company specializes in revitalizing outdated online businesses by updating their websites to newer e-commerce platforms and enhancing their marketing strategies with current technologies. The company acquired an online bookstore that had been operational since 2005 but was using an old e-commerce platform with costly web hosting. Since taking over in November 2012, the company transformed the site to use Prestashop, significantly reducing operational costs. The business is now positioned for a dedicated individual or company to achieve long-term profitability, as it relies only on inexpensive shared hosting and self-initiated advertising.
Potential buyers are encouraged to conduct organic keyword tests for terms like "property investment books" and others, given the active engagement of the mailing list, which boasts over 3,300 members receiving weekly emails. Additionally, the business maintains a strong social media presence, including a Twitter page with over 25,000 contacts and an active Facebook business page, alongside an impressive monthly average of 28,187 bot searches. The inventory includes approximately $8,000 worth of products, which would be transferred to the new owner.
The business also holds written agreements with publishers and authors, providing market-leading discounts that enhance profitability and allow for customer discounts. Revenue streams include sales of books, CDs, DVDs, and analytical software, with detailed financial figures available for interested parties.
