Publisher’s Note
Mama S
We are already up to our sixth issue, seven if
you count the half size sample issue we put together
last November. Our website has been active about six
months also, and our Facebook page was started just ten
months ago. It is really amazing how far we have come in
such a short time. We are ahead of our goals in every metric
you can measure. We reached our circulation goal in just
three months, with 100% distribution and almost zero
returns. Most locations run out within days. We have more
subscriptions sold than we had ever planned for.
Traffic on our www site is not bad, but we will be
working to increase it in the coming months. Our Alexa
rank puts us at #1 in Louisiana for web traffic, but I think
we can still do better.
Our social networking stats have been phenominal.
On Facebook, we are #1 in the state by a HUGE margin.
From the stats I pulled an hour ago (5/19/2016, 7:30am) our
Page Likes are 160% of the next local motorcycle magazine,
and our Engagement is an astounding 2000% of theirs. This
is the metric that shows how active users are on the page,
and that is the one that really counts.
All of this progress and success is only possible
because of our staff. We really have a great group of
people onboard. This month, we would like to thank and
congratulate Sherri Harris, who is known here as Mama S,
as she moves up to the position of Marketing Princess. I'm
pretty sure she just made that job title up, but I am also sure
she will do a great job for us with our ad sales and accounts
receivables.
