Description:
Are you looking for the perfect dropship website to take over and run with? You may have just found it! This site sells basketball hoops and goals (both residential and institutional) which is an extremely fun and profitable market to sell to. This site has huge potential, as other sites I’ve built on these same solid principles are doing quite well. The site has been designed and programmed, products added with descriptions, the shopping cart is customized and ready, and most importantly it’s extremely SEO friendly. This website is built on the popular Yahoo Store platform and is loaded with all the helpful features you need to succeed. It’s extremely easy to run and update. You don’t need to know a lick of HTML.
This site has already had a steady amount of sales (12K) for being such a new site and has made some nice profits. We didn’t even get the cart live until January and have had a handful of sales since. (We even received an order before we had the cart up and live!) We decided to sell this site as we’re just so busy with all of our other websites and projects and haven’t been able to spend the amount of time optimizing this site as we should be.
Facilities: None, all you need is a computer.
Competition: As with any website, your competition is whoever is currently on the first 2 pages of the search engines, primarily Google, for both the organic and paid listings. That’s all you really need to worry about. The only negative thing I can think of is that it usually takes 3-6 months to really start to gain some steam in the search engines.
Growth/Expansion: There are several more manufacturers’ products that you can add to the site. From portable hoops for the driveway to high end institutional basketball systems, the sky is the limit.
Support/Training: We will provide mutually agreeable training and support. However, the Yahoo Store platform is so easy to operate you really won’t need much help after we walk you through it.
Reason Selling: Not enough time.
Revenue Details:
This site sells basketball hoops and goals that are drop shipped from the manufacturers. Total sales to date is $12,013, with all but 1 sale coming since 1/2009 as that’s when we officially got the cart functioning and launched the site. The site was up and indexed before that and we took an order over the phone in the fall of 08.
Traffic Details:
All of the site’s traffic has been 100% organic, with over 50% of the traffic coming from Google. Because of a lack of time we haven’t been applying all of the SEO strategies we typically would and there is a huge opportunity for the new owner to drive this site to the top of the search engines as it now has a few months age behind it as well. Other opportunities for the new owner would be to explore PPC, comparison shopping engines, etc.
