When you operate a business – any business – spreadsheets become your BFFs. If you operate a print and/or digital magazine publishing business, it can feel as if those spreadsheets take over your life:
- Sales spreadsheets
- Subscriptions gained/lost spreadsheets
- AP/AR spreadsheets
- Profit/loss spreadsheets
- Ad tracking
- Order tracking
- Subscription tracking
- Article/content tracking
Take a close look above and you’ll notice that each spreadsheet covers one aspect of business. Just. One. Each.
Time to Move to a Systems-Based Operation
Imagine how much easier your job as a magazine manager will be when you move from spreadsheets to a system such as MagHub. Our magazine CRM allows you to put those spreadsheets, sticky notes and calendars in the proverbial round file. You can automate your email marketing. Watch your finances in real time (or take a look at how it was doing 12 months ago), and so on.
Yes, you may have started using individual systems such as email marketing software, an online accounting platform, an advertising analysis program, etc. But imagine having all this in one CRM system, one that integrates with many of the online tools you already may be using.
