Challenges Faced by Xtreme Rated
The first challenges that they face is balancing the purchase of their goods to the demand from the customers, as although they sell clothes, they also stock certain products which appeal to a very specific market.

As such, they have to heavily take note of the trends in local forums and see if there is a demand for a certain good, as if they overstock, it will be very difficult to clear the back stock due to the small specific market appeal of the goods.

The second challenges is being unique among their competitors (editor:  i.e. Differentiation) , although they are unique in the sense that they are the only store in Singapore with a direct business deal with Monster Energy™,  it is not a brand name known to all Singaporean, just the small market of bikers, motorcross fans, and adrenalin junkies mentioned earlier.  Competitors include shops selling fox, monster energy and troy lee designs items.
