UPA final numbers for 2008
Sunday, March 22, 2009
UPA final numbers for 2008 indicate a 9% growth in dollar terms for the UPA group. The comparison does not take into effect the growth of the group in terms of new membership. The 9% growth compared the exact same members in 2007 to the exact same members in 2008. While this growth does take into account the addition of new manufacturers the largest growth rate was a direct result of members continuing to switch to UPA vendor sources. A direct result of the expanded services that UPA provides is a significant reason why our members support continues to grow.
