I'm curious to know if magazines give free subscriptions to businesses. I would think they would since it will be viewed by quite a few people a day, but didnt know if anyone on here has personally done this. Maybe there is a flat fee for several subscriptions for businesses or something. I dont know, please advise.

i've got a question then, has anyone ever subscribed to a magazine because they saw it in a doctor's office or something like that?

[JDUB]

no, but i may have taken a magazine from a doctors office because i wasn't finished reading

[ToTheLeft]

no, but i may have taken a magazine from a doctors office because i needed someone to read it to me, not enough pictures

FTFY

Maybe, but any chance I have to make fun of JDUB I take it.

thanks for the help guys


now does anyone really know the answers to this?

It is a tax write-off under these circumstances. It is not hard to find deals these days ... or just wait for the elementary school kid nearest you to show up on your doorstep.

[Hold My Own]

Ha....ok...I'll see what I can find on google

[JDUB]

i've found good deals on magazines several times, like 5 magazine subscriptions for $15, but i can't remember where i saw it

You big tease...this was really helpful up until I read the part that said "I cant remember where I saw it"

HMO, are you implying that people waiting for a tanning appointment would actually read magazines?

[Sly Fox]

Perhaps Highlights would be a good selection.

no, but the guys that come in to tan will need something to "act" like they are reading when really they are looking at the other customers walking in....it's an old BJ trick

[Cider Jim]

I thought about 98% of tanning customers were ladies, with you and JB as obvious exceptions to the rule, and both of you would probably spend more on your cell phones than reading magazines.

I know one more guy who always has a bad tan....DENNIS CARTER...sign that guy up.

[Cider Jim]

HMO, you're the expert: is there such a thing as a "bad tan"?

[JDUB]

of course there is... haven't you ever seen those girls who are orange? i'm not up to date on all the tanning stuff, hmo could probably tell you what they did, but they get really orange hands but the rest is orange too

[Hold My Own]

generally the orange is the spray tan...


there is a bad tan...it's called cancer...and these tanarexic people dont get that sometimes...thats why we push for healthy tanning and give supplements to help the skin stay nice

Good idea Cider, ask someone in the tanning business what the best way to go is. That's like asking a Quixtar Bot what the best way to get rich is.

Ha...i heard a guy at a baseball game yell out to the pitcher...."I've seen better pitches from quiksar people"

I get tons of free mags sent to my business. We don't sign up for most of them, they just show up. We sometimes get a postcard in the mail offering a free subscriptions, but these are normally not your typical SI, ESPN, Vogue, mags...the're Investment News, CEO Today, Business Week, etc.... They normally pull list from Public Data. If you want a magazine - call them and tell them that you have an average of 30 people coming in daily and you wanted to be able to highlight their publication. It's not about selling subscriptions at Tanning Salons, doctors offices, etc... It is about justifying to Advertisers that they will get in front of a lot of potential consumers and Tanning Salons offer a good female demo with discretionary income.

give me your address and I will make sure you get a FREE subscription to Lynchburg Living;)

[Hold My Own]

YES! Sign me up!

my address is: 1116 Elkton Farm Rd, Forest,VA 24551



really though I wouldnt mind getting a few of those you've been working on...but I feel that the Editior in Chief wont be handing any out to local businesses....or will he?

Tan State is in our office??

I'm not getting your hint here? What do you want? Editor in Chief???
