Key Takeaways

• This is a classic example of an effective magazine subscription renewal notice. They focus on big savings (in comparison to what you would pay in the store), sweeten their offer with a special "free gift" (which is often a book) and stress taking urgent action so you don't miss out. They are also very liberal in their guarantee & basically promise a refund under any circumstance.
• Note how the letter is short & straight forward -- there's little reason for them to further sell you on the magazine because you're already a subscriber and have likely discovered whether you like it or not. All that's really needed is the motivation & justification to continue. It's a reminder to understand where your prospects are at in their decision-making & not oversell them.
• Free gifts are huge boosters for getting magazine subscribers. The subscription is already a tremendous deal so the free gift is extra icing on the cake and often what convinces people to buy. It's easy to justify the price.
