In 2013, a unique, artist-friendly t-shirt marketplace was established, which has since built a network of approximately 200 artists who contribute designs. This company has a strong social media following with nearly 600,000 followers on various platforms. The sale of this business includes its domain, social media accounts, a customer database, an extensive mailing list with over 144,500 addresses, and all current inventory and equipment valued at $100,000. The owners are looking to sell the business to focus on other ventures after over three years of management.
Operating exclusively through e-commerce, the business generates its revenue from product sales, primarily in North America. In the last twelve months, it reported a gross revenue of around $1,025,000 and a net profit of approximately $465,000. The business maintains low inventory levels by pre-selling t-shirts, with shirt printing and fulfillment handled by a couple of part-time employees. The current owners devote 14-18 hours weekly to management tasks, including interacting with artists and handling customer service.
Opportunities for growth include optimizing Facebook ad spend, exploring additional paid traffic sources, and expanding product offerings. Potential buyers will acquire a substantial customer base and a recognizable brand. The company employs two part-time staff and purchases supplies using credit arrangements with two long-term suppliers. There are opportunities to outsource printing and fulfillment to other companies. The new owner will be supported with post-sale assistance and training, and the business has no geographical purchase limitations.
