Stacy's Music Row Report is Nashville's only independent source of country-music news, reviews and informed opinion.
It evolved out of partnership ventures where I was not the dominant partner so did not have the freedom to institute the necessary reforms to earn the above distinction AND to make such a daring move profitable by using a "free" (sans for Amazon commissions) Web site as a loss leader to entice a paid subscription base that provides subscribers with enhanced and additional benefits.For a
limited time new subscribers can protect themselves
from a price increase by locking in the current annual fee of $552. While
that might seem a little pricey, it is
necessary to charge that amount in order to protect my intellectual
property
(copyright) as well as to properly compensate me for my
time. It is also in line with Hollywood news services such
as Puck
that serve a different area of interest but are also able to command
the going rate for specialized areas of interest, albeit a less
extensive outreach to subscribers than the value received by Stacy's Music Row Report's fully-invested paid subscribers.
Memberships- including content being delivered by fax or email, as a
subscriber- begin with the receipt of payment. I'm happy to snail-mail
content
as well, but haven't been asked to do so.
It would seem to defeat the purpose of immediacy,
I would think!
Anyone who feels the premium membership is not worth the price paid is
entitled
to a complete refund if it is requested within 15 days of receipt of
payment. This seems to
give the member more than enough time to determine if the payment has
been
money well-spent and reimbursement goes out the day of the request if
the
request arrives
before noon and the next day if the request arrives in the afternoon or
evening.
De gustibus, non disputandum est!
