Facebook Ads: A lot of the current success is dependent on the platform which means thereโs even more potential for growth here. A lot of opportunities to continue scale and also test new product offers which havenโt been done so.
Email Marketing: Send out newsletters, product updates, exclusive promotions, and personalized recommendations to nurture customer relationships and drive repeat purchases. Implementing automated email sequences for abandoned cart recovery and post-purchase follow-ups can also help increase conversion rates and customer lifetime value.
Brand seems like it has some high potential for scale, however the only confusing part is the high amounts of revenue in the prior months.
๐ฐ Asking Price: $1,800,000

๐ Growth Opportunities
Paid Search: Promote the platform on all social media including YouTube, TikTok, and YouTube with keywords such as "Stock Market", "Day Trading", "How to trade stocks" marketing that it is the only platform designed for live trading and investing education.
Influencers: Sign traders with large social media followings to exclusively trade only on TradeCaster. Their large followings will bring in even larger quantities of subscriptions.
Affiliate Marketing: Have an affiliate marketing team reach out to traders with a social media presence who may not want to stream, but who can still promote TradeCaster to their following. Every converted member will be 80% to TradeCaster and 15% to the influencer.
Not many cons on a business like this. Founder is willing to be quite flexible on how the acquisition is completed and the business is in an area which has a lot of room for growth. The majority of market share is taken by a few select companies but it has room for other companies to step in and steal a small % of the pie.
