Business Description
Exotic Sands, established in 1985, is renowned for its captivating sand art pictures. Located in the picturesque ski town of Park City, Utah, this business has gained immense popularity. One remarkable aspect of Exotic Sands is its ability to relocate anywhere.
The Exotic Sands brand is synonymous with top-quality sand pictures. These unique creations are priced for their exceptional quality, resulting in impressively high profit margins. To put it into perspective, the wholesale gross margin is 75%, while the retail gross margin is an astounding 95%—a figure that would catch the attention of any investor.
Handmade with care, these sand pictures have gone through a streamlined process that incorporates trade secrets perfected over the years. The business primarily sells wholesale to gift shops and craft galleries across the United States. Their loyal customers consistently reorder, accounting for approximately 60% of the business. The remaining 40% comes from online retail, with Christmas being the peak season for sales.
William Tabar is the inventor and patent holder of the original Sand Art Designs, dating back to 1985. His high-quality, fun creations combine time, gravity, liquid, and matter to form colorful works of art suitable for any home, office, or as gifts. In fact, Exotic Sands pictures have consistently ranked as the #1 gift made and sold in the United States year after year.
Each sand picture is crafted with pristine sands sourced from around the world, including black sand from the West African coast, powder-white sand from the Caribbean shores, emerald green sand from coastal South America, and coral pink sand from southern Utah. The liquid used in the pictures is a highly guarded, non-toxic trade secret solution.
Customers can choose from frames made of alder wood, cherry wood, or contemporary metal in black or silver. The sand pictures are available in four color combinations: ocean blue, summer turquoise, sunset orange, and arctic glacier clear, all mounted on a swiveling pedestal.
Shake and turn an Exotic Sands picture to watch it form magical sandscapes that reveal visions of mountains, lakes, deserts, and beaches. You’ll enjoy a fresh image with each turn, ensuring that you're always looking at a unique design.
