$UB UB$ $CRIBING MAKE$ MAKE $ $EN EN$ $E... because it saves you dollars! If you regularly purchase SILICON CHIP over the counter from your newsagent, you can $ave more than 10% by having it delivered right into your mailbox. Simply take out a subscription – and instead of paying $9.95 per issue ($119.40 for 12 issues), you’ll pay just $8.75 per issue (12 month subscription: $105.00) – and we pay the postage! How can we do this? It’s all about economics. Printing enough copies to send out to newsagents, in the hope that they’ll sell, is very wasteful (and costly!). When readers take out subscriptions, we know exactly how many copies we need to print to satisfy that demand. That saves us money – so we pass the savings onto our subscribers. It really is that simple! You REAP THE BENEFIT! But wait, there’s more! Subscribers also automatically qualify for a 10% discount on any purchases made from the SILICON CHIP online shop: books, printed circuit boards, specialised components, binders, wall charts – anything except subscriptions! So why not take out a subscription? You can choose from 6 months, 12 months or 24 months – and the longer you go, the bigger the savings. You can choose the print edition, the online edition or both! Most people still prefer a magazine they can hold in their hands. That’s a fact. But in this digital age, many people like to be able to read SILICON CHIP online from wherever they are – anywhere in the world. That’s also a fact. NOW YOU CAN – either or both. The on-line edition is exactly the same as the printed edition – even the adverts are included. So you don’t miss out on anything with the on-line edition (flyers and catalogs excepted). OK, so how do you go about it? It’s simple: you can order your subscription online, 24 hours a day (siliconchip.com.au/shop and follow the prompts); you can send us an email with your subscription request and credit card details (silicon<at>siliconchip. com.au), or you can phone us, Monday-Friday, 9am-4.30pm, on (02) 9939 3295 (international 612 9939 3295).
