Here's how we ended up dealing with the issue of on-line and print. On our membership dues, we have a checkbox - if you want to continue to receive the hardcopy of the Spotters. Last year's membership? Everyone still wants the hardcopies - even the people like my mom, who only read it on-line, still like the hardcopy for reference. HOWEVER, you have to make the magazine useful to people so they WANT to continue to receive it hardcopy. I still think going to every other month would be a good idea and truly, I do believe the on-line version has helped the Spotter - everyone pays for the ads, but gets freebie advertising on the web. We promote the on-line Spotter to the public and the pet people LOVE it... All sorts of benefits and I think it pays for itself :-) JMHO..
