Tropical North Queensland Events Calender Business For Sale

Business description

This business is especially right for someone who is looking for a true work-from-home style business; it’s hard to imagine anything better, more flexible and rewarding.

The business is unique; there simply is nothing else like it available in Queensland or I dare say Australia. For both locals and tourists it is an indispensable guide to the exciting cultural and other events throughout North Queensland. This is not just mere calendar...it's a guide to a year of fun and entertainment in the region!

This is a work from home style business that can be located or relocated to anywhere in Queensland or in fact Australia. Growing and possibly franchising the concept to other states and regions is more than just speculation, this has genuine possibilities.

A sophisticated purpose built and computer program automates many of the mundane tasks including much of the marketing.

There are two versions of the calendar, the corporate version and the retail version.

The corporate version:
This differs slightly from the retail version and includes the clients advertising; sponsorship is purchased by both Councils and businesses. The councils receive regional promotion in the calendar pages. Corporate sponsorship now by far exceeds council orders, the corporate database of artwork now extends to over 200 businesses and the corporate calendar has grown from 2,700 to 9,800 in just four years.

Retail version:
The TNQ Events Calendar is sold by over 120 retail stores: IGA chains, most newsagents, independent post offices, gift and book stores, tourist and visitor centres from Cooktown to Rocky, west to Mount Isa.

Production:
The calendar is produced between February and July, going to print in August. From February to April art work is produced and from May the computer database is used to collect and update events information from hundreds of event organisers in North Queensland.

For a purchaser some measure of organising, marketing and artistic skills are required but nothing out of the ordinary, there is over 8 years of accumulated artwork and other intellectual property included in the business sale and the owner will spend up to two months assisting a purchaser if required.

The business is on the market due to an impending marriage and first child, building a new home and relocating. The owner does not think she can cope with the stress of her lifestyle change, a new baby and the business.
This is a perfect home-based style business with huge potential to grow and expand.
