Peter Hobday on copywriting


As a leading copywriter, it would be easy for me to sit here and write a nice long article about how good I am at my job. After all, making a product or service look really good is what copywriters do.

But I won’t because that is really up to others to decide.

So I thought I would put down a few quotes from clients. These are people who use Subscriptions Strategy for email promotions, website promotions, direct mail packs and training sessions etc. The quotes have not been doctored or cut!

Retaining and renewing subscribers

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep subscribers past their first year. Publishers average renewal figures are usually overstated and disguise some highly volatile customers: on average, 46% of new subscribers lapse in the first year. Read how to solve the problem of customer retention..

Why subscription marketing?

All the current hot discussions on website business models, paid content, converting free-to-paid magazines, charging for news audience development etc., come back to one thing: subscriptions marketing.

Poor subscription marketing can kill


Creating a direct mail pack, landing page and series of email promotions are all vital steps in subscriptions marketing. All other promotions follow – loose inserts, billing, upgrade and renewal series etc. To survive, they all need to be good.
