I Hope This Is A New TrendBecause I personally hate those stupid subscription cards in magazines. For magazines, subscription cards long have been a double-edged sword. The palm-size slips of thick paper are a cheap, reliable way to win new readers. But their habit of tumbling out of magazines tends to drive people crazy.The first thing I generally do when I get a magazine in the mail is shake them loose, and the pull the ones out that are attached. It makes reading the magazine so much easier when you don't have to press down half of it so your pages are automatically turning. Thanks Barn for the link. 2 CommentsCheryl Howard said on 08/07/06 @ 09:50 AM:The folks responsible for this brilliancy are as follows: jkleiman@hearst.com; mgorski@hearst.com; andre.manning@philips.com according to this article http://today.reuters.com/news/articleinvesting.aspx?view=PR&symbol=PHG.AS&storyID=144559+01-Aug-2006+BW&nav=B_CP&type=qcna I sent them a big thank you via email. I also inquired if they could do anything about subscription renewal notices that begin arriving 10 months prior to when they are due to expire. :-) Paul Lammertsma said on 08/19/06 @ 06:25 AM: Tell me about it!! I read the National Geographic Magazine, and the first thing I do is throw out the subscription card and remove the fold-out poster (when included). I never understood why the publisher annoys their own readers with those %@#(#* subscription cards! Post a comment |
