Swot Analysis For Little Bigs

In regards to the marketing environment, there are different forces that need to be considered. First, we must consider the competitive forces in the area. Our main competitor would likely be Little Bigs. Little Bigs is the only other bar that is 18 and up in the area, naturally, they will be our immediate rivals. Next we must consider the economic forces. In the bar and nightclub industry, there is little variation in revenue. Over the last nine years the industry as a whole has only seen a change in revenue of about 6%. One of the major legal forces that could impact Sharky’s would be the minimum drinking age.
