We wanted something we could run from anywhere. We have been in a pretty major transition in life and wanted something that would allow us to work from home. This fit the bill perfectly. Other than some trips to get supplies and mail things now and then, we could run this business from anywhere.
The reason of selling this business
We have a big opportunity to live in a place that we love and work another business there. It is a major undertaking, so running this business has had to take a back seat.

Other details about profit:We have occasionally sold physical product, but that was just because we needed an initial order in order to get another supplier on board. We have since sold all but a couple items from this (at a higher profit margin than other suppliers).

Seller‘s Advice
How to grow this business
Seriously dive into Google Ads. Also, trade events (while not necessary) can provide massive bang for your buck when it comes to contacts and adding products to your line. New owner could look into GSA and another whole market opens up! Since
we will no longer be a retailer for our current suppliers, we would have to remove the product photos. The buyer would then have to apply with the current suppliers in order to carry their products. Suppliers provide excellent product photos. Then it's just a matter of uploading the photos that the suppliers let you use.
Skills to have
Google Ads would be a great skill to to master. If you can dive into how to unlock traffic potential offered through Google Ads, this could be a valuable skill. Otherwise, general knowledge of products is a plus, but not necessary.
