Edit: App sold in June 2018.
Factory Shops SA is a beast of an app. It is getting over 1200 downloads per week without any advertising. The current app owner is moving abroad hence the app has become available for sale.
Quick explanation of the business model to own and run the app:
No need to spend any money on advertising. The app is in the top 20 of Google Play apps for shopping.
The admin/sales person will contact Factory Shops to ask them if they want to join the app.
If they say yes, then a debit order agreement is put in place and the shop will pay R200 per month to get the benefit of being listed to the thousands of app users.
The new Factory Shop is then added to the app and now app users can search for their products and services. 200 paying shops = R40 000 revenue. There are an estimated 5000 factory shops in SA.
To develop an app idea from scratch takes a lot of time. The great thing about this app is that there is a proven audience for it and the downloads are happening without spending any money on advertising.
