Business description: Samburu.com is a web based retail business we started in 2001. It sells popular animal themed gifts and cards. Due to ill health and other commitments we have decided to sell the business. Our intention was to continue running the site for many years to come but circumstances have changed and we have decided to pass the business on to someone else who can develop it's, undoubted, potential. For the last 18 months we haven't actively marketed the website, and we have kept the site down for periods to keep sales low as it hasn't been a priority for us. Albeit, the turnover is relatively small compared to what could be achieved we have run the business with no marketing expenditure. Sales have been generated through natural search engine placement, repeat business and through the affiliate program. Turnover in 2006 was £15,210 (£10,275 product sales and £4,268 shipping and handling) with a gross margin of 45% and a total of 1028 orders being processed. The site runs on a leading ecommerce shopping cart http://www.aspdotnetstorefront.com. It is easy to operate with no technical skills being required. There are 4660 customers in the database and 1743 product lines online. Stock is valued at £8,450 at cost. The sale is for assets only: i.e. website (all files), database, shopping cart license, domain names (www.samburu.com & www.samburu.co.uk). Offers are invited. We are looking for a quick and uncomplicated sale. Please feel free to ask questions. Additional information is available on request.
