X-Message-Number: 8805 Date: Tue, 18 Nov 1997 21:35:07 -0800 (PST) From: Doug Skrecky <> Subject: cryonet magasine survey update Magasine database for cryonet subscribers: Respondants: 6 Analog: 1 Canadian Cryonics News: 1 Cryonics: 2 Discover: 4 Economist: 1 Health & Healing: 1 Heavy Metal: 1 Immortalist: 3 Life Extension: 2 Mother Earth News: 1 Money: 1 National Geographic: 2 Newsweek: 2 New Yorker: 1 Nutrition News: 1 Periastron: 1 Science News: 1 Scientific American: 3 Smart Drug News: 1 Although this database is as yet too small to suggest the best advertising medium for cryonics companies, it is interesting that science and health oriented magasines are over represented. After deleting the high circulation magasines, as well as the cryonics magasines, Life Extension leads the pack with 2 votes. Of the high circulation magasines Discover leads with 4 votes, followed by Scientific American with 3. Since the funds applied to ads would effectively be buying the number of votes for whatever the ads cost, the cost of the ads themselves becomes a prime consideration as a tie breaker. I will make inquiries about the cost of placing ads in Life Extension, Discover & Scientific American to see which offers the best value for money. Question: Does anyone know of any advertising medium that is either free or close to it? **Your help is requested!** In order that a statistically significant result be obtained, more than 6 respondants are needed. Email a list of your favourite magasines to and help contribute to this survey! Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=8805
