[NSRCA-discussion] Electronic versus Paper K-Factor Poll

Tue Jan 27 09:12:15 AKST 2009

Jim and any interested parties:

There is not a contract in place for printing the K-Factor.

Postage and printing is paid separately.  

Postage for the February 2009 K-Factor is $602.41.  The January 2009 cost of the K-Factor not including postage is $2,373.80.  

I will provide you a cost break out of the K-Factor.  Please give me a few days as my main computer with all the information is in the repair shop.

  Hi Guys,

  Can someone please repost the K-Factor cost break out?  Here are some questions I have about the publication:

  1.       Is there a contract in place for printing the K-Factor (if so, who is the contract with)?

  2.       Are the postage and printing paid for separately, or lumped together?

  10,000 words were sent to the list regarding whether to go digital or keep the hard copy, but I didn't see the information discussing the current cost structure.

  Thanks,

  Jim

  It costs $2100/month to print and mail out the K-Factor the way we do it now?   What is the primary cost driver, format or postage?

  Thanks,

  Jim

        The poll did not include a 50/50 mix. I would'nt mind a bimonthly K-Factor and could live with an electronic version every other month.

        Makes me wonder how much advertising might be lost on a all electronic version.

It's a lot easier to allow for a "pull" of the K-Factor versus a"push" ofit... Pushing it means that we'd clock up the internet traffic lanes.  Youwill receive a reminder email that it is available.  -----Original Message-----From: nsrca-discussion-bounces at lists.nsrca.org[mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces at lists.nsrca.org] On Behalf Of Jeff HattonSent: Saturday, January 24, 2009 9:01 AMTo: General pattern discussionSubject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Electronic versus Paper K-Factor Poll The electronic copy to download is good, but I would prefer at least areminder Email when a new one becomes available,  and the option to have itattached to the email would be even better.
