Newly Established Childhood Journals business for sale.

Please quote reference B06033

CoGoGo are privileged to offer to the market a new and exciting E-commerce Brand established by our client in February 2019.

The easily transferrable business is now been offered for sale due to the exceptional growth of the business over the last 12 months which means our client cannot commit the required time to see the business further develop due to her full time teaching career.

The business offers a uniquely designed childhood journal to help parents document the precious memories and milestones from pregnancy to a child’s eighteenth birthday. The original idea for the business came from her own frustration of not being able to easily continue recording memories of her own child after they reached their first birthday.

In a world where people are obsessed with solely looking at their phones, laptops or tablets for a child’s changing images, Month of Sundays offers a more personal documentation of a child’s life which can be cherished for years to come and later passed down to your child, for their own children to enjoy.

In addition to the beautiful choice of Childhood Journals, our client has recently added a collection of Travel Journals and Notebooks.
