The owner of an online dropshipping store specializing in drones is seeking to sell his business, known as "Drones Of Earth" or "DOE." The business, previously named "Drone Vendor," has been profitable for 1.5 years, generating five-figure monthly revenues through a 100% dropshipping model using suppliers from Aliexpress. The site operates on Shopify, utilizing Oberlo for automated order processing. Drones are sold at significant markups, with heavy reliance on Facebook Ads for marketing. The owner claims to spend only 20 minutes daily overseeing operations, primarily adjusting Facebook Ads. The sale includes the domain, Shopify store, pre-installed drones, professional video training, and other assets such as a prepaid hosting and design, numerous reviews, coupon codes, and an established Oberlo account.
The owner, who is also involved in other ventures, is selling the business to allocate time to another profitable endeavor in partnership with a major company. He assures potential buyers a seamless transition, offering personal support and training post-sale. Financial transparency is provided with revenue verification. The strategic blueprint provided with the sale focuses on scaling the store through Facebook advertising, and suggests potential growth through SEO and expanding advertising platforms.
Key business expenses include Facebook ad spend, Shopify hosting fees, domain costs, and optional influencer posts. The site's growth potential is highlighted by its scalability and the demand in the drone market, with guidance offered to reach seven-figure annual revenues. Support involves handling five customer inquiries daily, which can be outsourced for convenience.
