For sale is a profitable e-commerce business focusing on hunting accessories, specifically tree stands. Established in July 2013, the business has garnered significant traction, securing over 1,700 Twitter followers and 600 Facebook likes. In 2014 alone, the business reported nearly $50,000 in gross revenue, with a net monthly profit averaging $1,000. Operating as a drop-shipping model, the business requires minimal maintenance, allowing for a potential passive income stream. Orders are processed by forwarding details to suppliers who handle shipping, streamlining operations to under two hours of effort per day.
The business, developed from a dorm room, boasts automated processes and a custom site theme offering a resource library for technical support and SEO. Sales are driven through shopping ads, organic search, and customer referrals from forums and guest blogging. Despite its current success, the business is positioned for significant growth, particularly for those willing to transition from drop-shipping to holding inventory, thereby increasing profit margins.
The offering includes a Shopify-based website, social media accounts, supplier contacts, customer email lists, and a comprehensive SKU spreadsheet. One month of support is guaranteed, with additional email support for six months, facilitating a seamless transition. The seller's decision to sell is motivated by other business ventures and personal ambitions, including paying off student loans and purchasing a home. The business is seen as an excellent investment, projected to generate substantial revenue in the coming years, particularly if a new owner implements effective SEO strategies and stocks inventory.
