USA & Canada - lower-cost subscriptions

[bcrabtree]

I've at last managed to put in place subscripion arrangements that enable residents of the USA and Canada to take out subscriptions to Computer Video at far lower cost than previously, and to do so simply by ringing a toll-free local number.

Oh, and, of course, the issues are sent out locally, too, so subscribers in the USA and Canada should also receiver their copies earlier than before!

Contact details below.

I hope this meets with approval!

Nice one Bob,

How about us poor Aussies as well?
The currency conversions are not at all kind to us here. Any chance of a good Australian subscription deal?

Thanks

to C\V in the USA than in the UK. Ha Ha Ha

Maybe we should get the price from US subscribers to find out ;)

Oz, NZ and Germany local subscriptions

A similar arrangment to that now running for the USA and Canada should be in place for Oz and NZ, later in the year - hopefully October, but maybe not until November.

Germany, though, should come on a little earlier, hopefully in late summer.

Bob, thanks for taking the truly progressive approach to overseas subscriptions. I always buy the magazine but have held off from getting a subscription due to the cost here in Australia. However with your new deal I will subscribe happily.

How does this deal work?
Do you air freight the mags to destination country, and an agent mails them out locally? I guess I am wondering about the expected delays from the UK release date compared to recieving the mag in the mail in Australia?
Will this be faster than the usual 2 or so months until the mag hits Australian newstands?

I'm sure that such a deal will surely raise the overseas subscription rates for your mag. Anyway It's a great initiative that's much appreciated.

Shaun,

You've got in one. Comag, our distributor, air freights the mags to destination country, and then the country agent mails them out locally.

The result should be that the mag arrives with the subscriber between three days and a week earlier than subs sent out from the UK directly. It also means that subscribers, as they do now, will receive issues far ahead of those on sale in store overseas - well, in Oz, anyway, where I understand distribution of news-stand issues is a month or two behind that in the UK.

The new subs arrangement, of course, is intended to be mutually beneficial - subscribers get a better deal and earlier issues and that, hopefully, will encourage more people to subscribe.
