The business in question, known as The Erase Case, was established two and a half years ago and has experienced rapid growth, generating over $220,000 in revenue during this period. The Erase Case is a customizable phone case that can be designed with special permanent markers and then erased using a specific solution, allowing for repeated redesigns. The current owner is selling the business due to a new venture that requires significant attention. The product appeals to a wide demographic and has proven successful in the market.
Operating costs are kept low, with only 10% of margins allocated to the cost of goods, thanks to partnerships with reliable manufacturers both domestically and overseas. Marketing efforts have centered on social media platforms, particularly YouTube and Instagram, with substantial success attributed to collaborations with popular accounts and a public relations firm that secured media features.
The sale includes several assets such as domain names, a pneumatic bottle capper, a label applicator, and social media accounts totaling over 150,000 followers. Additionally, the inventory, consisting of markers, cases, and other components, is valued at over $20,000, and there is a new retail packaging design ready for assembly. The current owner offers post-sale support for 30 days via phone and longer-term support through email. Payment is managed through an attorney acting as an escrow agent, and bidders must agree to these terms to participate in the sale.
