Kelowna Work From Home Publishing Business

This is your opportunity to purchase an established, long running, work from home sales/publishing business based in the Kelowna area. This is a local "coupon book", filled with ads for Kelowna-area businesses. The book is distributed directly to households for free and the businesses pay to advertise in the book. Because it is a coupon book, the businesses offer a promotion of their choosing to include in their ad. This business has been in continuous operation since 2007 and has grown in that time from a distribution of 12,990 to 51,300 today, with over 40 issues printed in that time. The business was purchased from the original owner in winter of 2023, and the name and brand were updated to prepare for potential expansion into individual cities beyond Kelowna. At this time, the business was upgraded to include online invoicing and payments, and the design templates, branding, website and social media were revised and enhanced. The size and weight of the book are optimized for cost efficiency. The book features paid advertisements in a variety of sizes including 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and full page. Spring and Fall issues are sold separately, with discounts offered for multi-issue bookings. (It's possible to offer a Spring issue only, or both Spring and Fall issues). Currently, the owner is responsible for all sales and design work. It would be possible to hire a designer to help in the production, as this is what the original owner did. The sales period is 2-3 months prior to printing, with a potential profit of $50,000 or more after expenses, per issue - IF the book is fully sold. You must be good at sales! The majority of the work running this business involves networking and being able to sell, sell, sell.
