Price Increased Online Specialty Import to Retail Website For Sale

Business description

We have had this project underway for roughly four months, and the web site has just been operating for about 2.5 weeks. It has generated over $500 in total revenue with over an additional $400 in gross alternate channel sales. The specialty items sold on the site are purchased directly from the manufacturer in China.

*With increased success since posting, we have just raised the asking price.

The business owners, ages 25 and 22, just finished school and are preparing to enter the corporate world, and won’t be able to dedicate regular business hours to communication with clients, packing/shipping, and expanding marketing efforts.

The purchase includes simple and easy to remember URL, incredible custom graphics (we will make modifications for the new owner if requested), pristine product images, current inventory at date of purchase (this will vary, can be discussed), our Chinese manufacturer contacts, manufacturer quotes, English speaking manufacturer liaison contact information, market research with expansion ideas, and the ability to simply take over our current shopping cart solution if desired (strongly recommended… the site is really clean with a simple one step checkout option as well as PayPal and Google Checkout integration.) We will also supply the buyer with our import brokerage contacts if desired. Site has been preliminarily search engine optimized and shows up in the first page of Google search results when searching for this specific product (occurred the day before creating this listing).

The business has isolated a niche in a premium product market with incredible potential.

Ex: An EBay market research study we conducted found that with a sample size of 2200-2500 units in a two week span (items of this particular type sold on EBay in a two week period) the average purchase price was roughly $40.00. Our wholesale prices for these items typically range from $1.50-$3.30. We will show you how to independently verify this information, exact numbers will vary slightly based on the date. The industry is characterized with a lot of brand loyalty, but our strategy is one of low cost market penetration taking advantage of strong repeat buying habits. We have seen about 80% of new customers opt in to our newsletter which we forecast will be the primary income generating vehicle in the near future for the site with continued growth as it creates a simple method to draw back previously satisfied clients with exclusive offers.

There are countless up-sell potentials that we have discovered that will also be shared. Since you will be purchasing these items directly from the manufacturer, your expansion efforts need not be limited strictly to web based sales (you may consider wholesale distribution, physical retail sales, etc.)

With protections in place, we will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
