Fe’Nix del Sure, LLC
Case Analysis

Define the Problem-

With the rise in popularity of not only the company Fe’nix del Sure but that also of the artifact industry, also came the creation and manipulation of many other companies and individuals that have started to not only try to enter the artifact market but develop fakes and replicas and try to pass them off as authentic pieces at a much lower price then that of Fe’Nix del Sur. With these lowered market prices Fe’nix of course struggles to be able to compete with their 100 percent pieces. Not only is the process of finding these authentic artifacts expensive but also having them authenticated tends to also be pricey for the company, which in turn causes the prices on their products to increase.
