The two productsstatedabove will linkinanumberof ways.The firstway inwhichI’mhopingto do
so isby usingthe website toentice people topurchase the magazine through providingmore
informationonarticlesinthe magazine ratherthanthe website,meaningthe audiencewouldneed
to purchase the magazine tofulfil theirinterest,orpotentiallyvice-versa.I have alsochosento
include anincentive topurchase more issues,by providinganofferthatcan onlybe redeemedon
the website where yougetareducedprice onthe next numberof issues,say5 or 6. Thiswouldgive
a reasonfor customerstopurchase at leastone more issue,hopefullyleadingtomore.
