Hi Kristi: First off, it would depend on the magazine and if you are audited by ABC or BPA. They each have specific guidelines on what you need to do to have them count toward your total circulation. Then, find a contact at the group/club/organiza...
Looking for advice on developing group subscription promotions - how are you marketing to groups? What guidelines have you used to determine standard rates (if any)? Problems?
This was an initiative from a new owner - dead set on India fulfillment services, along with art, IT, etc. I mostly wanted to see if anyone else was doing it. And now I've moved on, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. :)
India, why India .. Better question, why do you need a "fulfillment" company at all? The time is here for managing this internally and/or via new vendors. You don't hear Huffingtonpost discussing "fulfillment" do you?

I am hoping you're able to help me. I'm interested in applying for the marketing specialist position in Orange County, and I'm finding some difficulty obtaining a contact name for the hiring manager. Do you know of or know how I can receive the name of the person directly in charge of the marketing department at your office? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Recently you sent a message to all members of the Growth Strategies group regarding marketing copy for converting free to paid. I looked for the discussion on here and couldn't find one. I'm interested in the same topic. Perhaps you could post it in the forum as a discussion topic?
