Competitive Landscape for Andrews McMeel Universal
Demand is driven by advertising and product needs of business customers. The profitability of individual companies is closely linked to effective sales operations.

Small companies can compete effectively by offering better local service in a specific product category. Annual revenue per employee averages about $160,000.
