Business for Sale Overview:
The niche industry of ‘Anime’, Japanese Animation, has become increasingly popular in North America, experiencing double digit growth from the early 2000’s. ‘Anime,’ called ‘Manga’ in Japan, is currently experiencing high growth even in this tough economy. Japanese manga originated as entertainment for children, and eventually developed to include a wide array of diverse genres and is now enjoyed by young and old, and has grown to include live action films, animated films, TV dramas, games and character goods.
This Well Established Japanese Animation Online Community, now 7 years old has grown to over 83,000 members and 60,000 newsletter subscribers. The accessing traffic surpasses 300,000 monthly visitors coming from a strong portfolio of 170 top level anime domain names pointing to the community and from high ranking of organic results in leading search engines.
During the past couple of years (2008-2009) the owner/founder as CEO of a Search Engine company has not been able to devote himself to the community while concentrating on his other management responsibilities so has decided to sell.
This investment opportunity for a prospective buyer is for the social brand, custom content/databases, traffic, customer base and goodwill built up over the past 7 years to become one of the largest and most recognized Anime communities online.
Don’t miss this wonderful business opportunity to participate in the growing industry of Japanese Anime for the North American markets. Feel free to make an offer and the owner will be willing to sit at the negotiating table.
