The Clash of Fans fan art shop allows customers to design their own band merchandise using velcro or painting. The shop would be a small stand located near concert venues and parks to attract people interested in showing support for their favorite bands. The target audience is people of all ages who want to customize merchandise affordably. Initially the founders will run the stand alone, but may hire coworkers passionate about music if the business expands. Startup costs are estimated at £600 with a breakeven point of selling 30 items. Potential local competition includes an existing shop that designs shirts and programs.
