Competition / Market
The largest national competitor employs old technology and is unable to reproduce photographs as effectively and cheaply. Likewise they do not operate in the events field nor have the technical capability. Local photographers constitute a small threat but again they do not have the technical infrastructure required to compete long term. They are unable to secure consumables or print at the same competitive rates.
