The available business assets for sale include the domain of an online deals and steals platform, its entire post history, an email subscription list of 2,500 contacts, and associated social media profiles on Facebook and Twitter. To maintain its operations, the business requires a dedicated individual to post daily deals on its website, a task that currently demands about one hour of work each day. The decision to sell the business arises from the current owners recognizing its potential yet lacking the necessary time and audience-building expertise to develop it further.
The business generates its revenue primarily through Amazon affiliate links, which provides income in exchange for referrals to the e-commerce giant. Operational costs are limited to compensating the person responsible for deal postings. To date, the business has not explored any marketing strategies, presenting an opportunity for growth under new ownership.
Potential growth strategies for the incoming owner could include fostering a deeper connection with the audience, transforming the site into more than just a deal-sharing platform but a community where users feel personally connected. Additionally, seeking out deals in real-time rather than adhering to a pre-set schedule could enhance the site's appeal. Being attuned to special promotions and seasonal changes would also allow for more timely and relevant deal offerings, potentially increasing user engagement and revenue.
