Sending this from my phone... Jessica From: spotted101@xxxxxxxxxxx To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: About The Review From A Magazine Person Date: Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:42:35 -0600 I continue to read the information being tossed around about the Review and continue to shake my head... 1. Putting the Review on line will not hurt the membership. It will probably help because by making it available to the public, people find out the GSDCA isn't a snobby dog club.. DCA's membership is going up again. 2. More bang for the buck for advertisers. Considering how much ads cost in the Review, they should get more for their money. Color ads in the Spotter are 250.00, plus their ad online. Even during this tough economic our advertisers are still holding steady and most do color ads. 3. The program we use is very easy - and for those who have asked, DCA's webmistress has been out of town - I will find out what it is. Anyways, all that is done the magazine is uploaded in a pdf file to our ftp. The webmistress loads it into the online magazine program and the program does the rest.. You need to do articles that appeal to everyone.. The more you appeal to everyone, the more people want to be a part of it.. Maybe its time to rebid printers.. I looked at ad prices and was very surprised - more expensive than I am used to.. Something to keep in mind with online.. You eliminate about a month of lagtime or more. If you put the magazine online the day it goes to the printer, the membership will have their info about a month or more earlier (printer, mailhouse, USPS, etc.) I will be happy to answer any questions.
