Established Craft & Hobby Ecommerce Brand
Business Description
Turnkey craft and hobby ecommerce brand with 18+ years of market presence, 123,000+ active email subscribers, two federally registered trademarks, and $147K of inventory at cost — all included.
Craft Direct is an established direct-to-consumer ecommerce brand selling craft supplies, scrapbooking tools, paper goods, embossing equipment, and accessories through a fully built Shopify storefront. The business has been operating since 2007 and carries relationships with top-tier craft industry vendors including Sizzix, Doodlebug, Echo Park, and Simple Stories.
This is an asset-rich opportunity. The buyer acquires:
A proven customer base. The business maintains a combined email list of 123,152 unique active subscribers across two platforms (Klaviyo and Springbot) with exceptional engagement — open rates of 52–74% versus the 20–25% industry average. This audience is warm, responsive, and currently under-monetized. No automated email flows (welcome series, abandoned cart, win-back sequences) have been deployed — meaning a buyer with basic email marketing experience can unlock immediate revenue from day one.
Two federally registered trademarks. The Craft Direct service mark (USPTO Reg. #5314487) and the Cgull trademark (USPTO Reg. #3752221) are both live, registered on the Principal Register, and maintained. The Cgull mark has achieved incontestability status. Both marks transfer with the sale.
A stocked catalog. Approximately $147,000 of inventory at cost is included in the asking price, covering 5,000+ active SKUs across major craft brands plus the Cgull private label line. Inventory is warehoused and ready to ship.
A Shopify-powered storefront. The business runs on Shopify with established product pages, category structure, customer accounts, and order processing workflows. Total subscription overhead is approximately $4,800/year and declining.
18+ years of brand equity. Craft Direct has been operating in the online craft supply space since 2007. That history translates into organic search equity, vendor trust, supplier relationships, and a customer base built over nearly two decades.
Revenue and margin profile. The business generated $418,000 in combined revenue in 2025 across Shopify and Amazon channels. The Shopify channel is the profit engine. Amazon was operated as a breakeven visibility channel and has been wound down. A systematic repricing initiative launched in early 2026 has driven conversion rates to 2.0%+ (up from 1.4% historically) and average order values above $50. Current gross margins reflect intentional markdown activity to clear aged inventory — margins are expected to recover as the catalog normalizes.
Ideal buyer profile. This business is best suited for an operator or company already in the craft, hobby, or ecommerce space who can absorb the inventory and customer list into existing infrastructure. A buyer with warehouse capacity, fulfillment capability, and email marketing experience will see immediate economies of scale. The business is also well-suited to a first-time ecommerce operator seeking a turnkey Shopify brand with a large, engaged audience and a protected brand name.
What's included in the sale:
Shopify store and all digital assets
123,152 active email subscribers (Klaviyo + Springbot accounts)
Two federally registered trademarks (Craft Direct + Cgull)
~$147,000 of inventory at cost
All vendor relationships and accounts
Cgull private label brand and associated inventory
Domain name and all associated web properties
The business is fully operational and generating revenue today. Seller will provide reasonable transition support. Asking $299,000, cash at close. Serious inquiries only — supporting documentation available to qualified buyers under NDA.

- Facilities & Assets
- Fully operational Shopify store with 18+ years in the craft supplies market. All assets included:
INVENTORY: ~$147,000 at cost across 5,000+ SKUs from top brands (Sizzix, Doodlebug, Echo Park, Simple Stories) plus the Cgull private label line.
EMAIL LIST: 123,152 active subscribers across Klaviyo (7,500 subs, 74% open rate) and Springbot (115,652 subs, 52% open rate). Zero overlap confirmed. Engagement is 2-3x the industry average.
TRADEMARKS: Two federally registered marks on the USPTO Principal Register — Craft Direct (Reg. #5314487) and Cgull (Reg. #3752221, incontestable). Both transfer with sale.
VENDOR ACCOUNTS: Active wholesale relationships with major craft suppliers transfer with the business.
ALSO INCLUDED: Shopify store, craftdirect.com domain, all digital assets, email platform accounts. Annual subscription overhead ~$4,800 and declining.
Business is 100% online and location-independent. - Website

- Market Outlook / Competition
- The craft and hobby supplies market is a multi-billion dollar industry with strong consumer loyalty and high repeat purchase rates. Crafting has shown resilience through economic cycles as consumers invest in creative hobbies.
Craft Direct competes on durable advantages built over 18+ years: organic search authority, vendor credibility, and customer recognition that cannot be quickly replicated. The 123K email list with 2-3x industry-average engagement is a significant moat — acquiring a comparable audience through paid advertising would cost multiples of this asking price.
Direct relationships with leading suppliers (Sizzix, Doodlebug, Echo Park, Simple Stories) provide wholesale pricing and new product access. Two registered trademarks protect the brand identity. - Opportunities for Growth
- EMAIL: The 123K list is under-monetized. Basic flows exist (abandoned cart, win-back) but campaigns are unsegmented and visually simple. A buyer who adds brand/category targeting and improved design can unlock significant revenue at minimal cost.
PRIVATE LABEL: The Cgull brand includes an incontestable trademark. A buyer could relaunch or expand this line at higher margins than reselling third-party products.
AMAZON: Previously $160K/year, wound down due to a single vendor restriction — not a demand issue. Can be reactivated with non-restricted products.
SEO: 18+ years of domain history and search equity. Content marketing (tutorials, project guides) could drive organic traffic at near-zero cost.
PAID SOCIAL: 123K subscribers provide seed audiences for Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest lookalike campaigns where craft content performs well.
PRICING: A 2026 repricing initiative has lifted conversion from 1.4% to 2.0%+ and AOV above $50, with margin recovery expected.
