High average order value, approximately £2,500 per order. The great thing about this business is that it is operated on very low overheads, can be run by one person, no adwords neccessary as it appears at the top of most major search engines. No staff to employ, no marketing costs, This site has not been set up overnight it has had 3 years of successful trading, the major investment has been done, the research and fine tuning is complete. Our customers love the website, it works and generates a good income with little hassle or aggravation. There is nothing to compare it with in the marketplace we are now benefiting from referrals and have built up relationships with insurance companies, parkhome owners and property developers together with returning homeowners. The site is continuing to perform well in the current economic climate The demand for the product is high, as the need for storage space at peoples homes remains high. In addition if people can't afford a brick garage they often turn to concrete as a cheaper alternative. Our typical customer is someone in their 50s-60s (silver surfers) with disposable income looking to improve their homes.
