Established Shopify Shop | Nail Cosmetics | Trend Niche | DPMA-registered Trademark
Is a direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce shop in the gel nail cosmetics segment without a UV lamp. The business model is based on three pillars:
Product model: Own brand with quasi-manufacturer status. Products are vegan, cruelty-free, produced in DE/EU and CPNP-registered. Reordering from the manufacturer is the only operational effort — no own warehouse, no production.
Sales: Shopify shop for Germany and Austria, supported by targeted social and search advertising and email marketing to 5,875 active subscribers.
Repurchase mechanism: ~29% of customers buy again — a classic consumable product that replenishes itself.

Reasons for Selling
1. Missing product identification As a man, there is no natural connection to the target audience. Authentic organic content, community-building and credible brand communication are crucial in this niche – and structurally difficult to implement without being part of the target group yourself. 2. Dependence on paid advertising Without organic reach the shop was completely reliant on external Meta/Google-Ads. This led to high advertising spend and too much trust in external agencies – with correspondingly thin margins in 2025. 3. Too many concurrent projects The shop never received the full entrepreneurial attention it deserved. Know-your-numbers unfortunately fell by the wayside.
