Gift cards are fast becoming the standby gift of the times. There are hundreds of cards available and they can be found right at the checkout counter, making them an easy solution to our gift-giving stress. However, gift cards are somewhat impersonal and have a few drawbacks. Many cards place restrictions or fees on the user. Often, they go forgotten in a drawer or wallet until they have expired. More importantly, to the person receiving it, a gift card may feel exactly like the last-minute solution that it was.
Not only are subscriptions magazines a great personal gift, they can save you plenty of time and stress. There are numerous websites offering hundreds of magazines in all kinds of categories. You can search for magazines by interest and find something for everyone on your list without running from store to store. Most companies will give you the option of having a gift subscription card sent to the recipient or to your home. One nice option is to have the cards sent to you so that you can give them to the recipients personally. You can tuck them into Christmas cards or even add them to a gift or gift basket. You can slip the card for your gardening enthusiast into a garden tote, along with a new pair of gardening gloves and some seed packets. Your favourite photographer would love to find his gift subscription card tucked into a new camera case. The possibilities are endless.
Do you read your favorite magazine at the doctor's office because the subscription rates blow your budget? A universal truth is that selling of magazine gives the publisher a staggering profit margin. Here are some tips to get magazines at cheap rates:
Go for the internet subscription providers. Their profit margins are less and you have plethora of magazines to choose from. The best time to subscribe would be the holiday season. This is the time when all prices are slashed and you get the subscription at dearth rate.
Do not renew the subscription. Let it run out completely. You will get a new offer to renew from the magazine. Then you can negotiate the price or go for a new introductory offer. You can always find a back up online subscription provider. Also, do not allow auto renewal. Auto renewal frauds can be quite irritating. The company will make you pay for the magazine subscription discount. To escape this, you should either negotiate or simply go for a new provider.
Opt for door-to-door magazine subscription offers. They are cheaper than the shelf and cover rate. However, beware of frauds and scammers out there, as they will try to swindle money out of you. Never succumb to these cons.
The offers change daily for the same magazine. So, keep a watch and then buy the subscription. If you have any doubt regarding the website's credibility, search in web forums. You can easily get real reviews from real people.
