We recently acquired this website (from a fellow NP user) towards the start of the year however unfortunately we do not have the time due to other projects to move this forward. The site has been setup since around August 2012. However, in October 2012 we started to receive traffic that converted in to sales.
Currently the sales mostly come from seasonal sales such as Halloween & Xmas.
We started off only selling to the UK although we was receiving so many emails from around the world to distribute to them, so we changed the business model and started shipping abroad.
In November last year we had 3,899 unique visitors. We have some high profile links from http://mumsnet.com/ and an author also included us in a blog article on http://blog.uk.fab.com/dr-manu-halloween/. We're dmoz listed, and google have already given us sitelinks on searches.
We also have around 1,182 Facebook likes, we ran a competition and the likes come flooding in. They have even converted into sales.
The stock itself come from a cash and carry called Hancocks (http://www.hancocks.co.uk/cash-and-carry), they stock all our products including the American sweets/cereal. Another option would just to purchase stock from external websites like amazon/ebay and get stock delivered directly to customer (although returns wont be as much)
We had a markup on most of our products of around 50%. Some products such as 1d advent calendars we got for 60p and was selling for £3.99 + shipping (initially we was selling for £1.99).
Its a great business because we left flyers in party shops and was getting large orders outside of the site and we also offloaded excess stock on eBay.
Sites running on open cart using the fancycart theme (which it looks completely different from since its been customized). Its running a few plugins, seo, auto images and a caching plugin (we have a google speed of 91/100).
We also have a blog we used to update a few times a week.
We rank quite high for multiple keywords.
We ship all our orders just once a week, larger orders we arrange to be picked up by courier (some int orders we make a profit on shipping).
Total Sales: £1,569.45
Total Sales This Year: £348.42
No. of registered Customers: 122
No of Sales: 156
Last Order: 29/08/2013
