PFM

Post by JKX »

Do you do PFM, digital or actual magazine?

Years ago Lion sort of partnered with them and gave a free trial link. It was more than a free trial, for me anyway - mine has just ended this month after, what? I’m not sure - maybe ten years???

For a good couple or four years I could actually share the monthly link to all and sundry, and did so, but they changed their host a couple of times and now the holiday is over, have had emails for the last few months saying my “subscription” is going-going-gone!

It can be a bit uninspiring at times but at other times it can be great and at the end of the day, when all’s said and done and the bottom line is ……. It’s nine bucks a year (digital)

(Our uk trade mag has no stand alone digital version)

I thought I’d just call it a day; let it lapse, but my final issue’s cover is too much. Stuff I love doing from a guy I’ve actually met (doubt he’d remember) and stuff inside from a grumbler I’ve “known” for years - and who is actually a forum member - David Lantrip, username FramerDave.

Framing rehab takes two steps back!

I followed your lead and clicked on to the PFM main website.
On the 'home' page they have a constantly changing banner, just above the latest issue promotion.
Clicking on some of those banner changes gives you access to some really interesting articles.
I shall be a regular watcher.
Thank you for the pointer.

I do digital. The subscription is minimal compared to the content (as you say, most of the time). The pages of advertising is annoying but it is what it is, for the price. I prefer print, but I usually read it on my computer on a break at work anyway. The articles are written by masters of the craft or experts in their field. I think the content is high quality and worth every penny for the digital edition.

Yes, to please everyone with each monthly publicatuon woud be unlikely but it's still well worth the money.

I checked before posting that our quarterly trade mag was still not available digital, and in doing so discovered you can get it cheaper here than direct.
