Taylor Publishing -- Capturing Memories

Competing in such a highly specialized field as high school yearbook production obviously calls for unique skill sets—but the concentrated workload may be Taylor Publishing's greatest challenge. Even so, it does bring great rewards.

"The primary advantage of competing in our niche is that it is a relatively stable industry, with a large amount of pride and emotion involved around each yearbook product," Fiore states. "The primary disadvantage is that it's a very seasonal business. Essentially, the lion's share of our business is done in the spring of each year. It forces us to have the ability to perform at very high levels in a concentrated period of time.
