Business Story

Why this business was started

I started this store as a side-project as I was looking to get into e-commerce and build an online brand. We put a lot of effort into creating custom content for the website and social media, such as partnering up with 2 video production companies to film unique video ads optimized for social media, as well as hiring a photographer to make high quality lifestyle product photos. The store has so much potential to grow for someone who has the time and effort to put in. We've put all the initial work into making the website unique and customer friendly, setting up high converting email flows and building our social media following. The website has been completely optimized for conversions with an optimized Facebook pixel. We've already put in the time and money into the setup! 

The reason of selling this business

For me this store has been a side-project and a hobby. At the same time, my main business has been growing rapidly and I am looking to put all of my energy and focus into taking it to the next level. We've put a lot of work into the store so far and I really hope it ends up in good hands.

What's involved in running this business

This store is easy to manage as it only has 1 main product, even though the new owner can add more variations of the product in the future, as the supplier provides several different models of the laptop desk. I will provide you with the details of our reliable dropshipping suppliers. We have recently added a second product to the store (Tablet Buddy) which we started selling. I will transfer our ads as well as supplier details for this product to the new store owner too. Maintaining the store requires running social media ads, fulfilling orders and replying to customer emails, updating social media and creating engagement. This store is a good starting point for someone looking to get into E-Commerce since everything has already been set up and is ready for launch. 

This business was founded: 11 months ago
Time to run this business: approximately 20 hours per week

Other details about profit: Sales have been directly related to running Facebook ads. I did not run ads consistently due to budget constrains and so sales have been inconsistent too. As this was my first online store I have been learning Facebook ads myself and have made some costly mistakes along the way which has affected my overall profitability. It takes some practice and dedication to understand Facebook ads and have them work for you. I haven't been very good with them so far but I know that this product has been hugely successful on the market so it only takes a little extra work to make it a success for you. I've made over 250+ sales with The Laptop Buddy store so the new owner will get all that optimized Facebook pixel data to start with and build on, along with our awesome video and photo ads and I am sure you can leverage these assets to create a great business for yourself! NO chargebacks received since store launch and hardly any product returns! This is due to working with the best suppliers and putting a lot of emphasis on customer support. The store features a pre-purchase upsell function which works very well and brings consistent additional revenue. The abandoned email and SMS sequence bring extra sales too (the new owner will get our remaining USD credit for the SMS service!).

    Seller‘s Advice

    How to grow this business

    Expand marketing campaigns worldwide and translate ads into various languages to run in non-English speaking countries (huge potential!). Get Google ads, Bing ads, LinkedIn ads. I have failed to utilize our email list as I don't have much experience in email marketing. Hiring an SEO expert to help ranking with product specific keywords will also increase sales. Google Trends confirm consistent demand for this product year-round.

    Skills to have

    You need to learn Facebook and Google ads or hire someone to run ads for you. If you don't want to do the ads yourself, you can provide the ad expert the video and photo content you get from us and they do the rest.

    I started The Laptop Buddy as a side project and it has been great to see it take off as a branded store. I created this store with a lot of attention to detail and hope the next owner can build on it and make it an even bigger success!
