When did you last review your member publication?
Evaluating if your own publication is in great shape can be a challenge. So we’ve created this quick health check to provide structure and objectivity.
The Core Elements: Having launched or revitalised 100s of publications we have identified the core elements of success, and guide you through them here. Simply read the statements below and decide if you agree, feel neutral, or disagree.
Findings In A Few Minutes: By the end you will have a clear sense of whether your publication is great or not, and what your strengths and weaknesses are.
So grab your magazine, pour a mug of coffee, and get benchmarking…
