Supplements Business? YES OR NO?

[TadMoore]

Fastlaners!!!

I'm thinking about buying a supplements business. I know nothing about the industry.

The supplement business I’m looking at is related to the brain. It’s supposed to prevent Alzheimer’s. I originally passed because of my limited knowledge of the industry and I think supplements benefits can be a lot of smoke and mirrors. The business does about $200 K in profits. It does these numbers with the ugliest website you have ever seen, bad branding, no SEO, no PPC, no landing pages, no optimization, nothing. Anyway, I will layout the business “Pro’s and Cons”

Pro

1. The business was started by a Doctor who is a leader in the Alzheimer's research field, he also runs a foundation to further the research. He has spoke before congress on the issue, and has written many articles for various re-search papers. He has several published books. Watching some of his interviews he is extremely passionate about it.
2. Alzheimer's is a serious issue effecting the baby boomer generation. It’s the second search on Medical MD’s top researched subjects related to health. It’s up there at the top with obesity and diabetes.
3. The doctor has written hundreds of brain exercises that he gives away for free. I envision a program where his courses go hand in hand with the supplements. This is a clean slate from a branding perspective, I would start over, and do it right.
4. The doctor goes to various conferences and promotes the product. The Doctor is a huge endorsement; my research suggests that finding a doctor to endorse a product is the holy grail in the industry.

Cons

1. Small hitch with the doctor, not even sure it’s a problem. The doctor is a little bit of a character he is an Indian man complete with turban, and a huge white beard. I am not a racist person; I have Indian friends, and eat Indian food 3 times a week. However, from a marketing perspective this might not be the best move. Especially to an older generation, that might not be so open minded, my grampa was in the military and what comes out of his mouth some times

1. Is my target demographic on the internet buying supplements? My grand father just got an iPad, but he is pretty cautious about what he does on that thing. The supplement targets people ages 40 and over, so a large percentage would use the internet, but not sure a 40 year old is taking memory loss, and brain health seriously enough yet. Even a 50 year old person?

Any thoughts? Anyone in the supplement business? Anyone set up sales funnels, and possibly sales teams related to this industry? How do get this thing moving in volume fast!

Thanks so much in advance!
