Business Story

Why this business was started

We were looking for secondary income source and knew friends that were having great success in this industry. We were able to build a profitable store, however it is much more consuming than we expected. Shopify stores offer a great way to have a side business or main business to provide income for you or your family.

The reason of selling this business

What is required is more than we can handle at this stage of life with 3 kids. I started this store as a way to generate some extra income for our family, although it did so very well, I feel like I am unable to give it the attention it deserves. I will most likely do more ecommerce in the future.

What's involved in running this business

Order fulfilling we used Oberlo which made autofilling information easy. Customer inquiries and responding to emails about tracking information and order questions. Updating products and keeping products fresh and testing new products on the store. A huge part of running this business is generating traffic to the store through facebook ads or whichever means you prefer. We used Facebook ads and saw some great success.

This business was founded: over 1 year ago
Time to run this business: approximately 15 hours per week

Other details about profit: All sales are from our shopify store only. Our best month we did $17,000 in sales and we had our 3rd child after that month. We have not run a single ad since the beginning of May and have been doing around $1,000 per month in residual sales. These numbers are reflected in the big drop off in sales and traffic to our store.

    Seller‘s Advice

    How to grow this business

    Becoming more branded in our approach. We started out pretty general and found the mother/baby niche worked for us since we could test products ourselves and make marketing material for our own products as we use them.

    Skills to have

    General knowledge on shopify and deep understanding of facebook ads to drive traffic to the store site.

    We are a mother and baby store that came from our state of life of having 3 kids ourselves. These are products that are entertaining, comforting, and practical to use. My wife and I both run the store and share responsibilities.
