<title>Car Washes</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-3266.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[The car wash industry in the US includes 14,000 full-service car washes with combined annual revenue of about $5 billion. Large chains include Wash Depot, Oasis Car Wash, and Autobell Car Wash. The industry is highly fragmented: the 50 largest companies hold just 15 percent of the market.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand is driven by favorable weather, new car sales, and growth in consumer income. The profitability of individual firms depends on favorable location and efficient operations. There are few economies of scale. Chains have advantages in advertising and customer recognition. Small firms can compete successfully by having good locations. The industry is highly labor-intensive: annual revenue per employee is just $40,000.   PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY  Major services are exterior wash, exterior and interior cleaning, waxing, underside cleaning, vacuuming, and premium "detailing." Ancillary products and services such as pick-up/drop-off services, fast food, greeting cards, and automotive products are also offered at some locations. "Detailing" ]]></description>

<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-3237.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[The art dealer industry includes about 6,000 stores with combined annual revenue of $4 billion. The Thomas Kinkade Company is one of the largest art dealers in the US: most companies have only a single location. The industry is highly fragmented: the top 50 companies hold 30 percent of industry sales.   The art dealer industry excludes framing service stores that also sell art.   COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Consumer spending and home decorating trends drive demand. The profitability of individual companies depends on effective merchandising and marketing. Large companies have advantages in buying, financing, and marketing.

<description> <![CDATA[The US talent and modeling agency industry includes more than 30,000 companies with combined annual revenue of about $5 billion, as well as many sole proprietorships with no paid employees. Major companies include Creative Artists Agency (CAA); William Morris Endeavor (WME); International Creative Management (ICM); and IMG.

Agents focus on finding clients work; personal managers generally find sponsorships and endorsements for clients.

<description> <![CDATA[The US weight reduction services industry includes about 1,300 companies with combined annual revenue of almost $2 billion. Major companies include Weight Watchers, Nestl&eacute;'s Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, and the online-only eDiets. The industry is highly concentrated: the 50 largest companies account for 80 percent of industry revenue and the four largest, for 60 percent.  The industry doesn't include companies that provide primarily medical or surgical weight reduction, or those that operate physical fitness facilities, health resorts, or spas.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Consumers' excess weight, personal income, and leisure time drive demand. The profitability of individual companies depends on effective marketing, customer acquisition and retention, and efficient operations.

The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is under $50,000.
