I like getting the Sr mag through the post every month or so, but sometimes it's just a load of prices and nothing else. There should be a friendlier feel to the mag, to encourage people to come on the site and to join the company too.
OK, you might be thinking that we don't need any more newbies on this site, but the company relies on this kind of advertising and personal relationships (I'm not talking about what Snuggly and Goatboy get up to either) to sell more goods and be a service that people want to keep coming back to.
To do this, firstly this site needs a lot more advertisment. Keep the page at the back of the mag that used to appear each magazine, the one with the stats and the news about members here. If people see that it's a community then they will want to join. More pictures, more wild stories about the members, a bit like a newspaper front page. Hell, make it two pages, there's enough stuff goes on here. While you're at it, why not print a sample from a hot topic on these forums too.
Another thing you could do would be to have the staff in the mag more often, the pic of the lot of you in the racing gear was pretty good, so why not try something similar, or a staff corner of the mag, even if it's a comedy one.
The main section of the mag, with all the things you sell, is already a very well laid out section and doesn't really need changing, but I reckon that a few more personal touches would make all the difference to how many people you get on this site and how many sales you get as well...and I'm sure the pictures of us lot wouldn't drive them all away, honest!

Fine, don't guess. You'll never know...

yup

LMFAO
I won't name the culprit. Yet.
Guesses please... :)

Correction, it's nothing to do with the cut-throat world of business. I can proove this.
Ali - which do you think is the better decision. They both cost about the same.
a) us to place a couple of extra pages in our magazine.
b) us to employ you.
Please judge this under the principle that money does not exist unless at least as much flows into the company, as flows out of the company.
Far from being exclusive to the world of business, this principle applies across the world in every aspect of human life (except Ants).
Life is all about choices.

The Special Reserve mag is going to go through some major changes in the next few months, and you'll see much more editorial from issue 13.0 onwards. The reason the current mag has very little in the way of 'community' pages and the like, is because every page used in the mag has to justify its inclusion ie. if it isn't going to make us any money, it can't really be added.
The club pages are nice and all, and I enjoy doing them, but for now, we can't afford to give a whole page in a 48 page catalogue to something that makes us next to no money. That's the cutthroat world of business, I'm afriad.
But changes are coming, good ones. Let's just say the classic old Special Reserve 'target system' may be making a comeback...
