Our Competition

We have done our research on companies that are similar to ours and 
do the sort of thing we ourselves would like to do in our business
InPress. The 3 design studios we have decided to focus on are
Catalogue, Factory 4, and ......


We went to a studio visit at Catalogue to see how a studio
like the one we would like to set up runs,

They are a print based company, set up in central Leeds, above our some photos of their studio.
They do they own in house t-shirt screen printing which is something we would like to do
in our studio, a lot of their equipment was made themselves to save money which is 
a great idea to slash start up costs.

Factory 4 is a creative workshop which is open to the public where they can 
come along and learn and use the print facilities, they have in house screen
printing beds which is something we would like to do.

Having screen printing facilities in house is something we would like to 
specialise in and having them open for public use is another way of making money.
I have looked at Factory 4's prices to get an idea how much them charge.....
'Hire of the space is £5 an hour, or £20 for 5 hours,'

Craft is another design company that are potential competition,

Craft is a design studio being set up by four of our fellow course mates- Charlotte Bourke, Luke O'Brien, Max Gregory and Joe Warburton. We had a look at some of their research posted on their blogs and discovered that they were considering renting out studio space in the same space as us. They would be major competitors being in the same building, also the fact that we would be launching our studios at the same time would make it very competitive.
