SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
The scope of Blank & Filled store is mainly sneakers with canvas texture which includes different types of sneakers like classic slip-ons, or with lace sneakers. Our store provides Vans (class A) for our customers but they could also provide their own. Our stores limitation is mainly on sneakers with canvas texture. We dont customize the whole shoes and only the design itself. Our designs are limited to only original designs to market our items in legal terms.
As of now, Blank & Filled is still dependent on suppliers of Vans and Converse (class A) to be customized but in the future, we aim to have our own supply ready for customization.

W3- Start-up company Since were just starting as a company, we need resources and identity from our market.
14
Blank & Filled | One Archers Place Condo, Taft Ave. Manila, Philippines.
Blank & Filled 2011
W4- Inability to mass produce Our artists can only make a maximum of three sneaker designs per day so we dont have the luxury to mass produce. W5- Only available with canvas sneakers We only customize canvas style sneakers so other types wont be available for customization.
C. OPPORTUNITIES
O1- Designs to be recognized locally and internationally Since we can promote our store through our website and other social networking sites, we can have the oppurtunity to be recognized in a bigger scale locally and internationally.
