These B2B publications and events are not written or designed for the average consumer. Our publications contain information vital to our audience so they can run their companies and maintain their professional educational designations. They use the information we provide to improve their professional competency and earn continuing education credits.
Revenues are generated from subscriptions, training tools purchases, conferences, advertising and/or data with ancillary income from the rental of mailing lists, reprints, and other projects. We constantly reinvent ourselves to better serve our clients and readers. We are always looking for new opportunities.
The company has grown through both acquisition and the creation of new publications and events. The most recent acquisition was Briefings Publishing Group from Wicks Business Information, LLC in 2005. Our headquarters is located in Richmond , Virginia. We operate with employees in a number of states. The five company divisions are: Newsletters, Magazines, Database Directories, Training Tools and Business Development. Our corporate mission is to produce high quality, high value information, make a profit and have fun doing it.
