Dried Poppy Flowers Business 4 Years Growth For Sale

Business description

This business is the top online retailers of dried poppy pods (a significant niche in the flowers and crafts industry). Established in 2004, every year since its inception it has seen significant growth. The current owner of this business has set this business up to be entirely "hands-off". In a recent week he logged the time he spends working on the site - the result: 1 hour and 40 minutes. Besides growing rapidly and consistently, and besides being setup to require a minimal time investment from the owner, this business has established unique and exclusive relationships with their suppliers. No other retailer will be able to get the same relationships as this website has - a significant advantage protecting them from potential competition and giving them significantly higher gross profit margins (gross profit margins are slightly over 50%). Finally, this business has only just begun to realize its potential. Currently it only uses its strong natural search engine rankings to drive traffic to the site. Other marketing methods (such as Adwords, banners, sponsorships, etc) have not even begun to be explored. There are also other areas in which this business can easily expand and become even more profitable. There is little about this business that is undesirable.
