Business Operation

Expansion Potential:

Excellent potential to expand into corporate gifting, promotional merchandise, wedding and event personalization, branded accessories, and online retail. The existing UV printing and advanced laser engraving equipment supports a wide range of products and materials, creating opportunities to serve both individual customers and commercial clients. Further growth could be pursued through e-commerce, partnerships with hotels and event organizers, B2B contracts, and collaborations with existing printing and advertising companies. The equipment can also support a workshop-based business model with lower retail overheads.

Competition / Market:

The personalized gifts and printing market in Dubai includes traditional gift retailers, printing shops, and online customization businesses. Story In Pic differentiates itself through its combination of professional UV printing and advanced dual-laser engraving technology, allowing a wide variety of customized products to be produced on demand. Its versatile equipment and production capabilities offer opportunities to compete through product quality, personalization, flexibility, and customer service.

Reasons for selling:

The owners have decided to restructure their business activities following a prolonged decline in retail footfall and challenging market conditions affecting the current location.

Despite substantial investment in professional equipment and retail infrastructure, the current operating model has become financially unsustainable.

The decision to sell provides an opportunity for a new owner, particularly an established printing, gifting, or advertising company, to acquire valuable equipment and production capabilities and integrate them into an existing business or a more suitable operating location.

The owners are seeking a timely sale and are open to reasonable offers from serious buyers.
