The online store, established in mid-2016 and purchased by the current owner later that year, specializes in products for a specific niche and has shown significant profit growth through social media marketing and SEO optimization. Though the business presents numerous growth opportunities, such as exploring Facebook marketing and leveraging email strategies, the owner plans to sell due to commitments in another venture. The shop operates on a drop shipping model, requiring minimal daily management, and profits from both sales and affiliate commissions. Current traffic primarily comes from an active Instagram following and direct visitors, with the potential for expansion through targeted ads and enhanced email marketing.
The business incurs costs like Shopify fees and cost of goods sold, with affiliate commissions offsetting some expenses. Prospective buyers will receive support during the transition, and the business can be managed globally as it is digitally based. No specific skills are required. Assets included in the sale are social media accounts, email lists, and several supplier accounts. Customer support averages 1-5 emails weekly, and revenue can be verified upon request. The company benefits from multiple suppliers, enhancing flexibility and reducing dependency risk. The seller is open to a non-compete agreement and will provide the necessary transfer of hosting and domain details.
