<title>Weight Reduction Services</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-3233.html</link>
<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. Large companies have advantages of scale in marketing, infrastructure, and partnerships. Small companies can compete effectively by offering individualized services or upscale facilities. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is under $50,000.   PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY  Major product lines are program fees, food supplements, and ]]></description>

<description> <![CDATA[The US trade show and event planning industry includes about 4,000 companies with combined annual revenue of more than $8 billion. Major companies include GES Exposition Services, Freeman Decorating Services, and TBA Global. The industry is fragmented: the top 50 companies generate about 45 percent of revenue.  The industry is composed of meeting planners and suppliers who organize, design, promote, and manage business and consumer trade shows, conferences, and meetings. Organizers of performing arts and sports events are not included in the industry.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand is driven by overall economic activity and corporate profits. The profitability of individual companies depends on managing costs, marketing shows effectively, and retaining valuable staff. Large companies have advantages of multiple locations and economies of scale in negotiating labor, transportation, and supply contracts. Small companies compete successfully by delivering superior customer service that drives repeat business. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is about ]]></description>
