Business Story

Why this business was started

As a guitar builder I was looking for a way to save money on guitar parts. So, I started importing guitar parts myself, this naturally turned into a business for me. Our original website was built around 2006 on the X-Cart platform, we moved to Shopify about a year ago for better security and functionality.

I own several businesses and feel I can't pay enough attention to GPC.

Weekly activities should include: Make at least one guitar repair video. Send one email campaign

This business was founded: over 2 years ago

Other details about profit: I currently use Affiliate marketing to increase profit from the store. This is something I just added and needs to be grown. I've modified the system to allow for out-of-stock products listed in the store to be linked to [Amazon] affiliate products. As of this writing, I have less than a dozen products linked to Amazon. I am averaging a click-a-day. My plan was to massively increase the amount of affiliate products. I will continue to add affiliate products while the store is up for sale.

    Seller‘s Advice

    How to grow this business

    1. If the store doesn't sell, my plan is to hire a VA for adding (thousands) of affiliate products. I have already modified the system to allow for "out-of-stock" products to be linked to Amazon Affiliate products. As of this writing I have less than a dozen affiliate products and am averaging about a click-a-day.

    2. Expand the catalog with more name-brand parts.

    3. Something I wanted to do (but couldn't find the time) is to make Youtube videos for guitar repair, I was able to make one video and I will include the Youtube channel with the sale of the business.
