ART SURVEY

I am a local artist interested in opening my own art supply store. Think of it as a “Mom ‘N’ Pop’s” place. I’d like my “target market” to be you, the art students, as well as local artists, grade school art teachers, high school art teachers. Most importantly, I want to have those supplies that you just can’t find available.

Now I know there is some major competition in this market, specifically a certain Supply store that will remain nameless. Regardless, I have chosen a location around the Tipp Hill area.

If you could take the time to answer a few questions for me, I would truly appreciate it. My main concern is the availability of art supplies in general, more specifically your medium of choice.

Questions:
#1 What medium do you mostly work with?

#2 Is that product(s) readily available to you?

#3 Do you consider your product fairly priced, even after your student discount?

#4 If the price was right, would you buy in bulk?

#5 Is there a specific product you cannot find and it’s necessity for your type of work?
For example, printmakers: Can you find etching plates?
digital media: Can you find high quality paper?

#6 Are there any art supplies you wish were available, even if its not your main medium?

#7 Any other comments or questions, please feel free to add.
