Successful Halloween Costume Business for Sale

Online Halloween Costume Business for Sale

The Business

PilotCostumes.net is a Halloween costume retailer selling mainly pilot costumes in partnership with BuyCostumes.com (the largest online costume retailer in the United States). There’s no manufacturing or handling of products involved. You won’t be shipping products or storing them in your home, it is all done through the BuyCostumes.com partner program. All the necessary work can be carried out in your home or anywhere you have a high speed Internet connection. Your business can be wherever you are. You’ll be able to work your own hours and set your own schedule to suit your lifestyle.

The Revenue

PilotCostumes.net is currently bringing in more than 1000 visitors per month from Google and makes $80-$120 per month in pure profits without any marketing efforts whatsoever. This revenue comes from two sources. Google Adsense and the BuyCostumes.com affiliate program. The current profits could be exponentially increased by anyone with even limited marketing skills.

This Google Adsense capture comes as a proof of the daily profits, but keep in mind that we have more websites attached to this Adsense account. And because we are selling this website, the adsense has been removed from it, so that you can apply your own account and start making profit.

The Domain Name

The domain name itself has an estimated value of at least $1200, but more likely it is in the region of $2000. If you think that sounds high, please understand that these types of “niche” Halloween costume domain names are very valuable. We note for example that ElvisCostumes.com sold for $6,000 in February of 2008 on Sedo (domain name prices have gone up a lot since then and continue to do so every day). Another example is ScaryCostumes.com which sold for $3,700, also on Sedo in 2008. Being a .net domain name, PilotCostumes.net is somewhat less valuable, but clearly worth well in excess of $1000. It is also worth mentioning that we have had a couple of unsolicited offers to sell the domain name before the website was launched, although the highest one of these was for $600 and naturally we declined the offer.

The Technical Stuff

The website is built using the brilliant web development software XsitePro2. If you are not familiar with this, it is an amazing piece of software. Not only because of the flexibility and what you can do with it, but mainly because of it’s incredible ease of use. XsitePro2 allows anyone without any programming skills to easily build and/or modify an existing website without having to go through the steep learning curve that is normally associated with most other web development software.

If you don’t have a Google Adsense account it is easy to set-up and get approved for, when you own a professional website such as PilotCostume.net. Setting up an affiliate account with BuyCostumes.com is also very quick and easy. We can help you with organising both of these accounts if you are the winning bidder and need help with this.

You should know that this software is as powerful as Dreamweaver but it's much much easier to use due to it's user friendly interface, menus and panels.

The Google Rankings

The PilotCostume.net website was built by one of the foremost Search Engine Optimisation experts in the world (no exaggeration!) and as the new owner you can expect a huge amount of free traffic from Google. Currently the website is ranking number 4 in the free (organic) results of Google.com for the keyword: “pilot costume” and number 21 for the keyword “pilot costumes”. It also receives substantial traffic from a large amount of smaller “long-tail” keywords. In total the traffic amounts to well in excess of 1000 visitors per month purely from Google and without any advertising. Since all the “on-site” optimisation has already been done for you, the number of visitors from Google can easily be increased by simply getting a few related links from similar websites with good keywords in the “anchor texts”. Naturally the business and the website traffic can also be grown through traditional means of marketing, both online and offline.

The Future Potential

Halloween is a multi-billion dollar business, (last year Americans spent approximately $6 billion dollars on Halloween products with everything from candy to decorations. Halloween costumes represent a significant share of this annual gold rush, and you’ve just stumbled on an opportunity to claim your share of it.

However, the PilotCostume.net website has appeal well beyond Halloween, with substantial revenue being produced for Christmas and fancy dress parties throughout the year.

Tens of thousands of kids celebrate their birthday every month and love nothing more than to get a great looking Pilot Costume for their birthday, whatever month of the year it is.

The PilotCostume.net business has tremendous potential for real growth in the coming years, and your marketing efforts could bring significant returns. In fact, when you have reached a large enough market it might very well be worthwhile considering selling and shipping the costumes yourself to increase margins and profits.

It is up to you to decide how far you would want to take this business. You could choose to simply leave the website to run itself and let the profits continue to trickle in as there is no work associated with operating the site. This way it would be providing a little extra cash for the household that will slowly grow as the sites ranking increase in Google due to the age of the site, or you could push your income into the stratosphere with your own marketing efforts. It will really be entirely up to you.
