Will a WebMag generate more revenue for my business?
Yes. If you can move some of your subscriber base to your WebMag, you will make immediate and substantial savings on your printing and distribution costs. In addition, you will be able to generate additional advertising revenue, both by being able to drive customers to your advertisers’ websites and by generating additional subscribers, which may allow you to increase your rate card. In addition to this, you may like to consider charging the advertiser for the number of click-throughs to their website they receive through your WebMag.
