Is A Magazine Subscription Any Good?

By Patricia Connor

There are many reasons as to why a magazine subscription is a good thing. Ahead of probably anything else of course, is that it saves money; with most publishers offering huge discounts on the regular price. These discounts can be 60% or more, but there are many more benefits.

It is likely that we all have a favorite magazine, even if we do not read it on a regular basis. However, whichever you are, you are likely to have experienced the frustration when your local store has run out of copies.

Here again, such a frustration is prevented with a magazine subscription. A subscriber has the magazine delivered directly to their home of course. This takes away the issue of not being quick enough to the store of course; but is also super convenient.

It is more than simply convenience however. The magazine is likely to be delivered ahead of it going in sale in the stores; as much as a week in advance in many instances. Of course, this keeps you updated on all the latest news; which could help for those discussions with your friends.

There are many special offers, deals, bonuses and competitions that subscribers can take advantage of too; whilst many print special sections only included in subscribers copies. Depending on the magazine, many give excellent store discounts with partners and so on as well.

If you like to donate to charity, schools, clubs, etcetera throughout the year, this can also be done through a subscription. This can be directly through the organization's own publication, or through a special tie up where the publishers divert some of your fee.

There is a wide selection of magazines about now, so finding something suitable should not be more than a simple search online or through your local store. Indeed, if you have a problem person to buy a present for, a magazine subscription can make a great gift. - 29943
