A Note to Readers At Your Service If our relationship with you, our readers, were the intimate type, we'd be what therapists call the Happy Pleaser, always trying to satisfy your needs. No wonder, then, that last week we introduced a new way for you to access our excellent Premium content. For a mere $2.95, you can purchase a single MarketingProfs Premium article. Of course, you can also continue to buy a monthly pass for $4.95, or an annual subscription for $49.95. Allen Weiss, our fearless publisher, says MarketingProfs developed the plan to appeal to all of you who are scared of making a true commitment. Nah—just kidding. What the plan really does is allow you to try before you buy: It's a low-risk way to take in some valuable content. Of course, we'll hope you'll upgrade once you realize the cumulative value of our article archives, virtual seminars, vendor selector guides, and more... Thanks for stopping by. As always, your feedback is both welcome and encouraged! Until next week, Ann Handley ann@marketingprofs.com Chief Content Officer MarketingProfs.com
