An e-commerce business has been introduced to the market, offering a unique opportunity for those looking to run a profitable venture from home. Launched in mid-September 2015, the business has generated over $140,615 in gross sales within six months, boasting profit margins between 40-50% depending on the product. It operates primarily through social media platforms such as Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram to drive sales, although Facebook advertising is the main focus. The business has potential for significant growth, particularly through the implementation of SEO strategies. The current owner suggests expanding the business through blogging, Google Shopping, and AdWords, which have not been explored due to time constraints.
The business comes with a buyer list of over 5,000 customers, a valuable asset as these are proven buyers already familiar with the sales funnel. The site, built on Shopify for high conversions, offers a seamless transfer process for the new owner. Support will be provided for setting up Facebook conversion pixels if the new owner intends to use Facebook ads, which can be restarted easily.
The business is being sold due to the owner's involvement in numerous projects, limiting their ability to focus on this venture. The auction is open for seven days, emphasizing the urgency to complete the sale. The buyer will receive the domain, built on Shopify, along with the valuable customer list. The seller is committed to ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption to the new owner.
