In this case Kudler fine foods will be attempting to establish an in-house photo studio. Because of the fast change in technology the photography equipment consistently depreciates. Thus it is highly recommended that Kudler Fine Foods conducts a thorough analysis and research in relation to the cost out weighing the benefits and vice versa (e-How, 2014).
If Done In-House, What Equipment would be Required
When a business does not deal with certain material then that company will need to go out and purchase products that will help in the new business endeavors (Yahoo, 2014).In this case Kudler fine foods will be attempting to establish an in-house photo studio. The photo studio could be in one place within the store or it can be multiple places depending what is being advertised at the time (Yahoo, 2014). To add a photo studio the company would need equipment such as plywood, nails, hammer, paint, ladder to construct the studio. Once the studio is built then the props would need to be made and added to the studio (Yahoo, 2014).
However; if Kudler fine foods decided to use what is already in the store then it would only need to rope off certain areas during certain times during the day and set up for its commercial or schedule to do the commercial before opening, during regular business hours or after closing of the store (Yahoo, 2014). The additional equipment that will be needed if Kudler decides to build a photo studio within in the store or use what is already there and just use different displays will be as follows: the store will need to purchase a camera with film or with a memory card and a tripod
