A Note to Readers

Big News

Greetings, discerning readers!

Big news this week: MarketingProfs is introducing a premium subscription offering that includes boatloads of great stuff: online seminars, points to apply in the Know-How Exchange, exclusive content, and more.

Roy Young unveils it today, after weeks on the drawing board, and explains what’s in it for you. If you seek more in-depth marketing know-how, beyond our weekly newsletter articles and archives, our premium subscription may well be for you.

Of course, if you are satisfied by the steady diet of good stuff that’s in our weekly newsletter and on our Web site, do not fear: we aren’t monkeying with either in the least. While the premium content will appear in the newsletter’s top spot, the newsletter will nevertheless continue to offer the same brand of comprehensive and expert articles you’ve come to expect. Free of charge, as always.

Why are we doing this? Read Roy’s article this week—he spells it all out. And let Roy (or me) know what you think.

As always, your feedback is both encouraged and appreciated.

Until next week,
