For those who love movies and the ecosystem in which they live, this business is right up their alley. The target is a portfolio of two premiere, subscription-based, curated movie clip websites, focusing on providing content to education and religious organizations. This one of a kind business pioneered the promotional & revenue share model that has led to strong relationships with the 6 major movie studios.
These unique assets have been carefully developed over 10+ years of hard work and now require very little maintenance for ongoing operations. This Internet Business is operable from anywhere in the world and is primed to scale in the religious and educational markets – two of the largest niche markets worldwide. No technical skills are necessary to acquire this business, so this is a great chance to step into an established superstar business and help take it to the next level.
The target drives traffic to their two websites to offer licensed movie clips from studio partners for use in churches, schools, and other organizations for public exhibition. The business has a large selection of movie clips from major Hollywood studios (including Universal, Sony, Paramount), and has been permitted to remove inappropriate language. (The business also owns over a hundred sermon outlines and complete sermons (sermon, slides, and clips).
It was the first site to pioneer the promotional and revenue share model with studios and the concept around curating clips for a designated purpose. It has since expanded, offering the financially lucrative opportunity to promote new movie titles to subscribers and their audiences by providing free clips and trailers to be shown in churches.
This is a revolutionary way of marketing to the hard to reach the faith-based market (the largest niche group in the world) and has since become one of the primary methods that Hollywood uses to reach the faith-based community. The platform is a tiered system, subscription-based model. No inventory is necessary.
The completely digital content from studios is displayed on the websites via an easy to use multi-segmented search function. Special pricing for school districts and the multi-campus organizations are in place. Current owners work 30 total hours a week on both sites, creating weekly email blasts, adding new titles, maintaining social media, and answering a few support questions.
Even though this business is over a decade old, growth opportunities are immense. The business has barely scratched the surface of the educational market, in addition to countless other institutions, including non-profit organizations, public speakers, businesses for training programs, etc.
Affiliate marketing is active, but there is room to expand as well, particularly with something as marketable as popular movie clips. There’s also a great potential for international expansion, as concentration has solely been in the U.S.
Marketing has focused on the websites userbase of 155,292 users. 67,937 of which are opt-in newsletter subscribers, 70% of which are repeat customers. The sites receive about 1,400 unique visitors per day and usually gets about a million impressions on each banner ad each month.
A buyer with a little knowledge of marketing and digital editing is going to step into a gold mine, especially if they love the world of movies and movie making.
