Did you get the memo?
This is the time of year when we tend to take stock of what we’ve accomplished (or not accomplished) over the past 12 months and try to predict the opportunities and roadblocks we’ll encounter in the year ahead. If you’re too burned out from your budget meetings, revenue forecasts and Holiday parties, just file today’s issue away in your “shoulda’ oughta’ read if only I had more time” pile….it’s right next to your New Years’ Resolutions and that half-finished “Goals & Objectives for 2007” strategy document that was due two months ago.
We’ll save you the trouble.

Integrated Selling and the Changing Role of the Publisher
Industry thought leaders champion solution selling and idea generation over simply ‘moving pages’. Digital gets props. ROI trumps golf.
If we learned anything after three days of intensive ‘knowledge absorption’ at the recent 2006 Folio Conference in New York City it is this. Publishing professionals have to work harder than ever to earn business from their advertisers and sponsors. But, they also have more tools at their disposal than they used to and they’re having a great time learning how to utilize them for their clients’ benefit. Folio is the premiere annual conference for magazine and publishing professionals and we’ll share insights that we gleaned from the experts at roundtables, breakout sessions and one-on-one conversations.

Slap Together a Banner. Sit Back and Count the Clicks
Think that’s online advertising? Think again.
I’m sure most of you are familiar with the old quip from department store mogul, John Wannamaker, who said 50 percent of all advertising is wasted, but he could never tell which 50 percent. Fast forward 100 years and it’s more like: “20 percent of my ad budget is really working, but I don’t know which 20 percent or why.”
