Expansion Potential
This business is already on a fast growth track. The owners see huge growth potential with this business and are implementing strategies to grow by expanding. Part of this expansion is offering more variations of the product design in terms of color and material.

There is also the option to move in to other lucrative markets in this niche including supplements, and completely new designs of the current product.

Additionally, there is potential to grow all of these variations and new products in the UK, and Japan and still utilize the FBA system. The potential to get the product brand name into physical stores is available.

The owners have also been approached by Groupon and 'The Wellness Channel' recently who want to work with them and discuss promotion.

The profit per unit can increase dramatically if sea-freight is used, currently only air freight is used.

Additionally there is the opportunity to wholesale the product (owners get contacted on a regular basis from prospective wholesalers.)
