Competitive Landscape for Dick Blick Holdings Inc.
Consumer spending is a key driver of demand for toy and hobby stores. In addition, population growth among young children (under 12) drives demand for toy stores, and population growth among women 35 and older drives demand for hobby stores. The profitability of individual companies depends on the ability to generate store traffic and effective merchandising. Large companies offer wide selections and deep discounts. Small companies can compete effectively by offering specialized products, providing superior customer service, or serving a local market. Average annual revenue per employee is $160,000. Toy and hobby stores compete with mass merchandisers. Toy retailers also compete with consumer electronics stores, due to the increasing popularity of electronic toys and video games. Hobby stores compete with fabric and sewing goods stores in select market segments. To read the full description, subscribe now.Top Dick Blick Holdings Inc. Competitors
