CoGoGo are delighted to welcome to the market Ridgewood Design & Print. Established by our clients in 1997 this fantastic business manufactures and provides wholesale wedding stationery and card making supplies to handmade wedding stationers, card companies and card craft suppliers. This is more a mini factory not cottage industry. Ridgewood Design & Print currently generates income solely through their online website and currently operates at a projected gross turnover of just under £115.000 in the last financial year, up 4% on the previous year with a gross profit of approximately 46%. Something to consider when the business has been run at the owners` pace for a number of years. There has been a steady increase in growth every year with no advertising all but the organic listings in all major search engines, page one on Google for the main keywords and phrases. The business stocks a vast catalogue of products, which includes both standard & bespoke card stock, wedding pockets & wallets, inserts, banners, boxes, aperture cards, & embellishments just to name a few. 100% of current sales come through the website www.cardshandmade4u.com, which is included within the sale along with a large database of customers. The website is undergoing a full modernisation including a new mobile site and will be in place before any new client takes over. We see this as a turn-key business, where orders would be placed and waiting to be processed from day one, so no need to go out and find new business from handover. We feel that this excellent business is well established in the industry and carries a huge potential for growth. Focusing on other occasions and/or opening a retail avenue to the business would greatly further the revenue. A modest sized advertising campaign would stamp authority as the number one player in the industry. The business comes with a fantastic longstanding reputation in the industry and amongst its few competitors, therefore benefitting from a large amount of repeat trade as well as word-of-mouth referrals.
