"Much like the highly competitive retail marketer has already learned to do, the school market product or service provider must adapt and respond to consumer demand for high quality products, expanded breadth of choice, unmatched customer service, and unending special promotions. To these ends PAGES has introduced four new book fairs." - Bill Clarke
PAGES has identified expanded school markets and several nontraditional markets that will effectively increase the size and revenue potential of the book fair market by as much as 500% over the next 3-5 years to provide healthy - and virtually untapped - sales and marketing opportunities. These markets include:
14,500 Senior High Schools
100,000 Churches & Synagogues with 500+ congregations
16,000 Public Libraries
29,000 Businesses with 500+ employees
12,000 Manufacturing facilities
1,200 Insurance Companies
1,850 Military Bases
96,400 Government Offices
14,000 Universities
8,500 Junior Colleges and Vocational/Trade Schools
11,500 Hospitals
10,700 Upscale Retirement Communities
"Given the reality of budgetary restrictions, book fairs should naturally face better demand as school fundraisers, as well as meet a growing need as the country places greater emphasis on improving education.

"The Good Book Program  and the Books on Break  roll-out will allow the Company and its distributor network to develop a counter cyclical business to spread the workload and provide new sources of cashflow during the slower summer season. In addition, as the number of these fairs grow the CompanyÕs overall margins will expand. Margin expansion will achieved because corporations and churches receive 10% of gross sales and remit 90% to the Company." - S. Robert Davis
