That is, how to reduce the scale of one’s exhibitions while still maintaining a strong profit model. In the current climate of sluggish consumer spending, this choice is undoubtedly the most reliable. Once the economy improves, the profits earned during this period can be reinvested on a larger scale in the next boom period.
