I still can't get it through my old noggin who the magazine ads are worth thousands to annually. I'm sure it isn't the forum members, they SHOULD already be aware of the industries leading journals. It can't be you cause you aren't benefiting and getting Thousands from the ads for the forum in the magazines.
On the other hand, the discounts offered by the suppliers I think are far more important to the forum members than the magazine ads. The forum members will save the Thousands by using these discounts (if they know about them). If each forum member saved only $10 anually it makes it over $13,000.00 in savings for the forum members.
I guess it is important for you though, on second thought, to have those forum ads appear in the magazines for when you go to the pay site. Every new member the ads pull in will be money in your pocket. 1300 current members times the $36 annual is $ 46,800.00.
Making the link at the top of the page to the member discount ads bigger and in color would help, it is very easy to overlook.
