Updated for the Internet ecommerce this site sells worms and crickets for the reptilian owner. There may be something to this; and the price would appear in line. For the first time online business owner this may be your starter kit.
As an added bonus of this online live cricket store the new owner would most likely experience repeat business. Typically a repeat business online store provides ability to accelerate growth through PPC (Pay Per Click) marketing.

| Business Summary |
| Online business that supplies live crickets, worms, and supplies to reptile and bird owners. All items are shipped by the supplier, so no need for crickets in your basement!
This is 100% online and can be managed from anywhere. This is a great niche business. Reptile owners especially are a dependable source of income and they are willing to spend more to get quality.The crickets that they get when purchasing from this site are much healthier and more nutritious than crickets purchased from the average pet store, and when buying in bulk, they are much cheaper too.
This site has been upgraded with ZenCart so it is very easy to manage. You can track where new users are coming from, send out newsletters, create coupon codes, and much more.
There are also automated messages set up to automatically email customers who have not placed an order and this helps to bring them back to the site. I have also purchased and installed an affiliate program so you can have affiliates promoting the site for you, with no other cost than to pay them. I have had the site added to several affiliate directories. I have put in over $600 to do upgrades to help you run the site efficiently. You can easily add in new features as well.
This is also a fairly easy group to market to, as there are tons of reptile-specific websites, blogs, and groups. Buying feeders is an ongoing expense and many pet owners would love to save money on it – plus they will need feeders on an ongoing basis, which brings in repeat business.
Currently, the site averages an order every 1.3 days, with a PROFIT per order of about $8. The only fixed cost would be your hosting. This is a good opportunity for someone who has not run a business before, or who is looking for something reliable to run in their spare time. It is also very low risk because you won’t have to spend anything on inventory until you get an order! |
