Marine Products Internet Business Opportunity

Business Description:This set of profitable ecommerce stores sells Marine Electronics and Equipment, Barbecue Grills & Smokers and other Outdoor Products, as well as Toneau Truck Covers and Racing Seats.The anchor store sells electronic fishfinders and fishing accessories. It was established in 2003 by the prior owner, who then started the other stores over time. The stores were purchased in late January 2007 by the current owner.This business would be a good fit either for someone who wants to run the daily operations of the business on their own (customer service, order processing, etc), or a great addition to an existing e-commerce operation with multiple stores, or as an entry point for a retail store into the online marketplace.It can be relocated anywhere in the U.S. It is currently operated by one customer service person, who spends approximately 35 hours/week on it.

Features  There is a system for evaluating products which enables customers to make the best selection, as well as educational sections for helping shoppers understanding how the products work. Maintaining the websites is relatively simple with an easy-to-use content management system.The stores average approximately 30,000 unique visits each month. There are approximately 15,000 customers in the combined databases. The sites have a combined catalogue of over 5000 products representing many well-known manufacturers. There are 20+ vendors, with 3 primary, 2-4 secondary, and the rest occasional. Currently much of the website maintenance and search engine optimization is accomplished through a relationship with an offshore provider ($200/month) +/-. This relationship can be shared with the new owner.
