We've just put together our Media Pack - a fancy way of saying an advertising price list, along with information that will be of interest when deciding where to spend an advertising budget. 

Deciding when to actually produce the Media Pack was a real catch-22 situation, as our site and download information is changing all the time.  Already the data is out of date - we've now had over 1,200 downloads with visitors from 56 countries, with almost 1,500 unique visitors now.  That is pretty fantastic as it doesn't include any information for people who send the ezine to friends and/or family... and, this was achieved in about 3 weeks without any advertising!  Last week we also had our first coverage on a podcast (thank you Wandering Geek).

As a free publication we cover the cost of production, our time, the software (man Adobe stuff is expensive!!), the hosting, and so on.  We have tried to make the advertising costs very attractive and we are more than 60% cheaper than similar printed advertising.  Having looked at other digital magazines, we're also much cheaper than all of the other providers.  This does beg the question:  are we too cheap?  I guess we'll find out, and we will review pricing in June.

If you are a publisher, retailer or have a site or service to promote, please do consider how we might be able to work together.  We are also very keen to discuss any special plans for the annual printed edition... perhaps some limited edition game components?

If any of our readers are in the marketing or advertising world, any feedback or thoughts would be most appreciated!
