ON THE WALL

What are their strengths?
They have a prime location in the city centre, and are one of only a few shops that sell illustration related products at a relatively cheap price compared to places like Colours May Vary.

What are their weaknesses?
A lot of the stuff they sell seems really mass produced, doesn't have much of a hand made feel to it, and there isn't much variety

What opportunities have they taken?
Their main selling point is posters and designs to be put on a wall, there aren't any other dedicated poster shops that sell posters that aren't the generic ones you find in HMV

What threats do they face?
Because a lot of their merchandise seems mass produced and not authentic, they may not attract a certain audience, like the arts and illustration community, it may be driven more towards the generic public.
