They need to learn when to cut their losses, if a particular shop is consistently not doing very well then they should close it and use the resources saved to make sure the shops that are doing well continue to do so. Some cities have more than one shop, why, there are only so many customers they can serve. If mail order is doing so well for other companies, then that's probably an outlet that Jessops should pay more attention to, if they can't compete they can only lose.
