Our own Tim Davis is a man of varied interests, one of which is his curiousity about the world outside of the U.S. As a result, he is a subscriber to National Geographic, and recently received the email invitation included below.
Note the language: the promise to find out about events before other readers, and the promise that his opinions will be heard and considered. And of course, there’s the incentive of a cool trip. They have even "peopletized" the email – not showing giraffes or volcanoes, but the pictures of readers. All of this should look and sound very familiar to Jacobs Media clients.
Yes, National Geographic has to worry about their "cume" – or broad circulation – but they’re also wise to consider their loyal core – or P1s – readers like Tim who are smart, tuned-in, and will undoubtedly be able to provide them with valuable feedback. Like loyal readers, Tim is enthusiastic about helping National Geographic build a better product.
Smart, smart, smart.
