As you probably know we've been struggling to keep Hello Dolly Magazine in print, it has become obvious now that we cannot keep going, it's a rough old world out there at the moment, advertising revenue is hard to come by and whilst we are very fortunate to have a loyal readership, there aren't enough people buying the magazine to cover the print costs.... jolly expensive business doncha know!
The exciting part of this situation is the future of the magazine, we have decided to make the magazine an online version. We have prepared a test version for readers to have a look at and you can access that by clicking
HERE.
We feel that there is a lot of scope for some very exciting developments with an online version of the magazine, not only can we make advertisements and banners clickable, directing the reader to the relevant website. We can turn adverts into mini catalogues, so that the reader can immediately purchase an item they see in an advert!
Also we can imbed videos and slideshows turning our show reports into much more interactive experiences for the reader. With time we believe we can make quizes more interactive and allow for immediate entry into competitions as well.
We would love to hear your thoughts!!!
