Make work more interesting
Most of our subscribers use Stack for leisure, settling down with their magazines at the weekend, or in a quiet moment. But there’s a whole other side to what we do, because Stack can also be a tool – a practical resource that will help you stay up to date with new ideas from outside the mainstream.
Of course we want to encourage this more industrious use of our magazines, so we’ve pulled together the following five reasons why your organisation should subscribe to Stack. And we’ve even drafted an email that you can send to whoever makes the decisions in your workplace, explaining why it’s a good idea.
Remember, if you can persuade your boss to subscribe, you won’t just be reading our magazines for free – you’ll be getting paid to read them. We’ll even throw in some of our Stack at Work stickers so you can show everyone that you work in the sort of place that values independent thinking.
1. Boost creativity
Independent publishers work around the fringes, motivated by passion rather than profit, and their magazines deliver a concentrated shot of ideas and imagery from beyond the mainstream. Our publications represent some of the best, most exciting independent thinking that drills down into niches within niches, providing inspiring insights and alternative ways of seeing the world.
2. Enhance first impressions
Stock your reception area, meeting rooms, or library with beautiful magzines, and show that you’ve got your finger on the independent publishing pulse. We have a large collection of back issues, so we can stock all the spaces you need with an instant archive of quality titles, and then we’ll keep on delivering new magazines every month.
3. Save money
Stack subscribers always get great value – in the last year the magazines we delivered cost an average of £15 to buy in the shops, but our annual membership costs less than £11 per month, including delivery. And buying in bulk brings the prices down even more – if you want to set up multiple subscriptions or buy a selection from our archive, just drop us a line and we’ll be happy to do you a deal.
4. Go bespoke
Not sure our subscription is quite right for you? No problem – we can work with you to identify a selection of magazines that’s perfect for your needs, and have them delivered to you as they’re published.
5. And discover our independent insights
Delivering magazines is just the beginning. Over the years we’ve built up a massive network of independent publishers around the world, who are all deeply involved in niche communities and subcultures. We’re able to draw upon their expertise, adding a fresh strand to your research and providing original insights that you can use in your business.
If you have any questions about how Stack could work with your organisation, just drop us a line and we’ll get back to you asap. Or, if you know that our magazines would work well in your office, copy and paste the text below into an email to your boss, and I hope we’ll be able to start sending brilliant independent publishing your way soon.
Dear Name of Boss,
I recently discovered Stack, an organisation that searches out the best independent magazines and delivers a different one every month. Their selection prioritises voices from outside the mainstream, combining beautiful design and high-quality production to create printed publications that reveal new ways of seeing the world.
I think their magazines would provide a practical supply of serendipitous new ideas, and a cost-effective way of helping us to stay inspired. (Receiving magazines from Stack typically costs less than buying them in the shops, and all their prices include shipping.)
They’re prepared to offer discounts for buying in bulk, so if you’re happy for me to find out more I’ll contact them and see what’s available.
