Time is Running Out…

2013 is here and we are very much looking forward to the Official Launch of PREPARE Magazine!  It’s an exciting time for us and we are humbled and extremely grateful for the support and encouragement we’ve received along the way.

During our “pre-launch” period, one of our goals was to get a strong group of subscribers who would help us by offering feedback for improvements with our publication and support operations.  We called our pre-launch subscribers our “Founding Subscribers” because we know the importance of constructing a strong foundation in preparing for exponential growth.   We have been extremely pleased with the response and support, and have FAR-exceeded our initial (Founding Subscriber) projections.

We are now moving into our launch phase, and will soon discontinue taking registrations for our Founding Subscribers.  We will, of course, continue offering a free subscription to PREPARE Magazine, but will no longer designate those registrations as Founding Subscribers.

CLICK HERE NOW to sign-up for a (free) Founding Subscriber Membership!

So, if you are interested in being a Founding Subscriber you need to take action immediately.  There is still time to get the excellent perks and benefits we will be offering.  Tell your friends and family.    In less than one week, we will close the door for new Founding Subscriber registrations!  Registration is still free, so it makes good sense to sign-up now.   There are no hidden gotcha’s.  It’s just our way of saying “Thank You” for joining with us during our pre-launch.

So, do not delay and miss out.  Founding Subscribers will get a free Premium Subscription which will include:

  • *  Monthly Digital Issue of PREPARE Magazine
  • *  Premium and Mobile Digital Viewing format
  • * Access to all Previously Released Digital Issues
  • * PDF Download of all Digital Issues
  • * Priority Notification of Events
  • * Special Premium Preparedness Training Webinars (Monthly)
  • * Special Report Digital Downloads (Monthly)
  • * Participate in Affiliate Program
  • * and much more!

Important News & Special “End-of-Year” Issue!

We hope you had a wonderful Holiday.

It’s hard to believe that we are about to enter the final month of 2012.  As we are quickly moving toward a New Year we wanted to share some special updates for PREPARE Magazine – and also give you a status report on our anticipated hard-copy release.  There is a special announcement that will specifically benefit you – so be sure to read all the way through this email.

In this email, we share important information on:

… Next Issue Release

… Updates to your Subscription

… Campaign for our Official Launch (Hard-Copy Release)

It has been a very busy (and exciting) time for us and we want to share some of the things that have been happening.  We have been slightly overwhelmed with a steady flow of changes and preparations for our hard-copy publication.  We continue to work-out the bugs.  Please accept our apology as we have been remiss in keeping you fully updated on everything – as we have been inundated with new challenges that we were not anticipating.

But… we forge ahead because we STRONGLY believe in the mission and purpose of PREPARE Magazine.  We are encouraged by the support we have received from our subscribers and advertisers and are determined to make this magazine a world-class publication.  We hope you find value in our magazine and will help support us as we continue to build a stronger foundation to build on.

 

OUR NEXT ISSUE (Released Soon!)
We are currently working on the release of our next digital issue.  It will be the “End-of-Year” issue of PREPARE Magazine and will have some very special features.  It should be available (and released in the new improved viewer format) by mid-December.   We will email you when it is ready for download and viewing.

In January, 2013, we are planning to Officially launch PREPARE Magazine, and release the hard-copy version of the magazine.  We’ve had quite a few requests for a print version, and we are looking forward to releasing it with our launch.  It has been quite an undertaking but we believe it will be well worth the effort.

We will give more details as we move closer to the launch, but here is a general description:

The hard-copy version will be a bi-monthly full-color publication that will be available by subscription (delivered by USPS).   The print publication will be a little larger than the monthly digital version (likely around 44 pages) and will contain unique articles and features.

CAMPAIGN for our OFFICIAL LAUNCH!

 

We started PREPARE Magazine because of the importance we place on the mission during the times we are living.  We firmly believe there is a very special need for the encouragement and training we intend to offer through PREPARE Magazine.  We are determined to keep it going.We’ve been asked many times “why” we are giving away a free subscription to Founding members?.  The truth is, we wanted to offer the free subscription to help as many people as possible prepare for the days ahead.  We wanted to serve anyone who had the interest in preparedness, and offer a message of encouragement during difficult times.  Many years ago we felt “called” to prepare, and that call included helping others.

But… because of the costs associated with the thousands who have subscribed, and the expenses we will have with launching the print version, we have launched a fund-raising campaign to help raise needed funds toward the launch of PREPARE Magazine.

We intend for PREPARE Magazine to be a long-term relevant voice in the Preparedness Community.  To make that happen and to create a world-class publication, we need to raise funds.  To encourage people to join with us, we are giving away some really cool and valuable rewards.  Of course, we would love to have your help.  Please visit our campaign site and consider helping us if you are able.   We will be extremely grateful for any help you can offer.

Until then, we remain…
