This inventory-based DTC e-commerce business sells high-comfort and compression socks to French-speaking customers across France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Quebec, with products manufactured in China, purchased in bulk, and fulfilled through a supplier-managed 3PL while the owner retains inventory at all times rather than operating a dropshipping model; customer acquisition is driven primarily by Meta (Facebook) ads and supported by Omnisend email marketing, and the operation is lean and systematized enough that a new owner can run it in 2–3 hours per day.
