How organic sales scale from $30k to $100k per month

Sales scale through assortment expansion: each SKU generates $12–15k per month. Reaching stable sales for a SKU takes 10–12 months. Growth in 2026 will be driven by the organic growth of five SKUs. Performance is supported by a performance marketing manager whose compensation is tied to results.

Why This Is a Low-Risk Business

  • Product: Tea is an “evergreen” category with no seasonality and no Chinese competitors; repeat purchases via Amazon Subscribe & Save increase LTV without additional advertising costs.
  • Business model: U.S. market with 10x growth potential; scalable, system-driven model independent of key personnel; high M&A liquidity provides a clear exit strategy.
  • Business stage: Regulatory risks removed (FDA approvals obtained); demand validated by stable organic growth.

Business Growth Potential

Several growth avenues are envisaged to increase non-organic sales.

  • United States: onboarding Walmart ($300–400k per year), offline retail ($20–50k per year).
  • Amazon (global): Germany ($60–200k per year), United Kingdom ($30–100k per year).

Total revenue potential: $1.75 million

Expected net profit: $300k
