Business Story
Why this business was started
We started this business to be a ministry to the Christian community by offering products at extremely competitive prices.
The reason of selling this business
We have two businesses and this one simply doesn't get the attention it should as we have decided to focus on the other business. With the right focus and attention, it has a tremendous amount of potential.
What's involved in running this business
Orders are either dropshipped or shipped from our location. It's about 60% drop and 40% from our location. We handle all customer service, marketing, fulfillment and the like Plus, we also handle all website development as well.
Time to run this business: approximately 30 hours per weekDescription
General description
We sell Christian books, bibles, and Christian religious items such as pillows, mugs, and more. Established since 2009 and on Shopify since early 2018, the company has steadily grown since 2018. Over 100% growth from 2018 to 2019 and the most recent year was up 21% year-over-year.
We have two businesses and this one just isn't getting the attention it needs and deserves. Someone with marketing skills could continue the growth at a higher clip.
Why should someone buy this store?
The market for Christian product is still very strong. Plus, buyers are becoming more and more sensitive to wanting to support small Christian stores such as this one. In three years, we have had over 18,000 unique customers purchase and we have barely hit the market.
How can the future owner improve the business?
The store needs daily attention from someone who can focus on marketing. It is set up for success, but needs someone who is well versed in online marketing concepts.
What work have you put into the store?
We developed all of the graphics for the company logo, coded all the automated scripts that update inventory every hour as well as scripts to bulk update pricing, descriptions, and anything else that is needed. Created social media advertising accounts. Created Google and Microsoft Analytics accounts and follow SEO with SEMrush.

Seller‘s Advice
How to grow this business
We currently operate two businesses and are unable to focus on this one. It has quite a bit of potential especially if a new owner focused on social media, product specific SEO, and email marketing.
Skills to have
No major skills are needed other than general business experience and a desire to work hard to grow the company.
