Is bigger better!

With conference agencies merging and growing everywhere in the race to catch preferred agency status it seems that profit has been forgotten.

The low p/e ratio seems deadly dangerous in an economy that is stretched at this time.

Usually maintaining your percentages on turnover are better than being yanked round by the neck and getting nothing out of it.

The agencies that do not enter these rebate schemes have an easier more solvent business.

There has to be more to this business than just merging your debts and hoping the shares will have a viable future.

Conference weekly reporters know of certain small agencies that make bigger net profits than some with 300 employees.

So it is all about getting the right size of business
