The business in question provides resume design and resume writing services. Customers can select from various visual templates to have their resumes formatted into customized designs. This process is managed by a dedicated staff member and includes options for expedited completion and additional revisions. The resume writing service, on the other hand, is outsourced to contractors, involving questionnaires and interviews to tailor content for clients. Founded in early 2012, the company has seen over $423,000 in revenue but is now facing challenges due to a lack of marketing and sales efforts following the departure of key personnel. The business was initially a side project that grew, prompting the co-founders to hire more help but later became less of a focus as they pursued other lucrative opportunities.
Current opportunities for growth include outsourcing design work, updating the website, enhancing SEO through content production, developing new resume templates, increasing sales conversion through live support, and exploring paid advertising strategies. The business metrics indicate a customer base of 4,089 with an average revenue per customer exceeding $103. Monthly expenses include payroll, software, and contractors, while labor primarily involves a full-time staff member and various contractors. Despite the decline in conversion rates and traffic due to minimal marketing activities over the past year, the business retains potential with established infrastructure and a history of media features. The sale of the business includes training, contractor introductions, website and web services transfer, and access to existing email and social media accounts.
