SellerForce® presents a distinctive home-based Plant Nursery eCommerce Business that has built a loyal following among gardening lovers. Their model is simple and clear, built on quality plant selections and smart operations. They offer a wide range of items including landscape plants, edible varieties, and exotic options such as dragon fruit and cactus. Their drop ship approach means they purchase plants from local suppliers only after a sale is made, keeping costs low and working hours minimal.
The business has experienced YOY growth in the last couple of years, and profitability has transformed from a loss into a strong positive trend. Their online sales come from a user-friendly eCommerce website and a popular marketplace store, with revenue coming from their website.
Their product catalog features 1,222 SKUs, with landscape plants making up a large portion of sales. The average order is around $65, and during the spring season, they see about 25,000 monthly visitors compared to 6,000 to 8,000 in the off-season.
A steady flow of 5 to 20 daily orders and a revenue growth of over 134% in recent years show that customer demand remains strong, and profits have turned from a loss into a positive gain. Their simple shipping process and reliable customer service have built a base of 5-7% repeat buyers, which creates an opportunity for new buyers to leverage on their customers’ existing love for the brand.
A new owner could boost digital ad spending and expand to other online sales channels to convert more visitors into loyal customers. Online marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, or Walmart are great places to sell home-based plant products. SEO strategy, along with engaging on social media and partnering with influencers, can really boost your sales.
Partnering with wholesalers and landscapers by creating bulk order contracts could lead to steady and high-volume sales. They have an Instagram account, which is beneficial, but a buyer can hire a part-time social media manager to post DIY content, which can significantly impact engagement and growth. Plus, tapping into platforms like TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube can help drive organic traffic and boost your conversion rates. This business offers a sound and proven model for anyone looking to invest in an online operation with plenty of room to grow.
