| RetroBlast/GameRoom Mag subscription discount for BYOAC members! - FEBRUARY ONLY |
| << < (8/8) |
| KevSteele:
Well, first off, you should be getting your March issue soon - I just got my "mail test" copy in my mailbox yesterday. The issue was delayed by about two weeks due to production hangups at the printers. April is looking good for an on-time delivery, and I can only hope things continue to go smoothly after that. As to the subcribers - the coupon was popular, so much so that my store manager complained about all the new business! That said, GameRoom is at about 2100 subscribers right now. It's a number I hope to grow in the upcoming months. As far as it being available on shelves - not yet. It's a subscriber-only mag at the moment, primarily because of the number of subscribers - there's a point where a publisher can afford to distribute copies to book stores and newsstands, but GameRoom isn't there quite yet. You see, newsstands make the publisher pay to ship the issues to the newsstands , and then the publisher has to pay to get any unsold issues shipped back. It's just not feasible until you have enough subscribers to drive down the per-unit printing costs so that you can afford to just "throw away" any unsold newsstand copies. ;-) I'll get GameRoom on newsstands...eventually!

I would also point out that mail can be rather variable in terms of timing ... you guys are worried about March ... I'm waiting on February (periodical class mail can be slow, not Kevin's doing in any way ... I received January about 4 weeks ago, like most of my local compatriots). Cheers. |

Kevin, Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but great job. I never saw the old version, but the March issue (which I just got today) is great! I do have one, small, pointless suggestion. Can you make the address label, either a sticker on or vertical and smaller? The reason I ask is that the only color is the cover, and the address label area is HUGE! I can't see the front of the pinball machine! Like I said, it's a small, tiny suggestion. The rest of the mag is great and I look forwared to the next issue. |

Smiley, Your wish is my command! Starting with the next issue (April), the magazine will be shipped poly-bagged with the label on the bag. The evil white box, which lived for a grand total of two issues, is already dead! Kevin |
