I have always loved fashion and wanted to use this as a way of networking and learning about this industry and e-commerce in general. Sunglasses are a passion of mine, and as a first-time store owner, I didn't want to choose any product that was easily breakable, edible, too big, or had various sizing requirements. Sunglasses fit the bill perfectly, and I have rarely gotten complaints or requests for refund/return.
The reason of selling this business
I switched jobs and my new job requires monthly international and domestic travel of 2 weeks per month. The hours were too long for me to devote the time needed to run this store adequately.
What's involved in running this business
Fulfilling orders, keeping in contact with suppliers, some research on adding new products, networking with influencers and getting the word out, and most importantly, running advertising campaigns.
This business was founded:about 3 years ago
Time to run this business:approximately 1 hour per week

Other details about profit:Currently running zero paid ads due to lack of time. All sales are purely organic. Included Google Analytics in screenshots to show past Google Ads spending, which was minimal and not done in a systematic or professional way. Hence, it would be optimal for the new owner to approach paid advertising in an experienced and professional manner. Monthly advertising fees listed below are an average number, reality is I only attempted paid advertising over a brief period of time in 2018.
