Hort Week Subscriptions

Posted by Gary RK on February 1, 2010 at 3:56pm

It seems to be that time of the year for subscription renewals as today we received our Hort Week renewal invoice.

 

It seemed a lot of money so I started to dig deeper and got a surprise over the different pricing levels depending on where/how you respond, for instance;

 

Renewal invoice - 1Yr = £95, 2Yr = £171 - any method of payment

Renewal link from weekly Hort Week email - ongoing yearly DD = £56.50, 1Yr Credit card = £66.50

Renewal via website - ongoing yearly DD = £81, 1Yr Credit card = £95, 2Yr Credit card = £171.

 

I have never seen such multi-level pricing. Clearly 'loyalty' does not pay (unless I have totally misunderstood....)

 

Anyone else still subscribe to this journal...? Be interested to know your rate ....

 

Might just have to rely on the weekly email extract free of charge !

    I am fed up with Hortweek and I will not be renewing my subscription when it expires this month.

    Interesting topic...something I follow closely too. The last audited figures showed that Hort Week's paying subscribers fell by 10% (I sent me figures to HW and asked for a comment, the figures were not challenged and no comment so I assume that the numbers were fairly accurate).

    During the postal strike I reported that (although I didn't realise it was because of the strike at the time) HW was available online for free.

    You might be interested to read this post about another Haymarket (HW's owners) publication F1.

    I am re-considering our subscription. In one way I feel 'slightly cheated' by the pricing model, but at it's lowest rate of £56.50 it just over a £1 a week. However, we are reading more online now so the chance of a lower online subscription (when available) might save me as reader.

    I note the model used by Pitchcare - A price for the physical mag delivered by post, a much lower price for an online version viewed in your browser or downloaded as a PDF. I believe you can get both together at much discounted rate.

    With online resources it so useful to be able cut& paste information, archive it as needed - for personal use only of course.....
