Small Business Saturday
Now that Black Friday is behind us, it's time for the next industry-generated holiday designed to make you spend money: Small Business Saturday is today.
But unlike Black Friday, Small Business Saturday always hits us close to home. That's because unlike our investor-led competition, we really are a small business. In fact, we only have 11 employees. That's our staff to produce two amazing magazines, post free content every day on our websites, constantly produce video for our YouTube channels, host seven national events, and constantly build project cars. And it's also 11 eccentrically-decorated offices, since we don't think we could do what we do if our employees were checked-out drones sitting in cubicle farms. For the past three days those offices have sat empty, since we try to do the right thing and give our employees generous paid vacations during every holiday.
All this means we can feel, well, a little disadvantaged at this time of the year. We don't have a million-dollar marketing budget for Facebook ads, we don't have a team of underpaid customer service reps answering emails, and we don't pay Russian hackers to find out your blood type in order to better target advertising to you. Instead we focus on what we're good at: Making awesome content, sharing it with the world, and treating our small, dedicated staff ethically in the process.
If you believe in what we're doing—and you like what we're making—then your support would mean the world to us. We're currently offering our best subscription deal of the year: Subscribe today, and you'll pay just $9.99 for a one-year subscription to Classic Motorsports. You'll join more than 50,000 readers and get access to the best content in the world, including amazing feature cars, buyer's guides and market advice, hardcore technical articles, and projects that run circles around the competition.
Plus you’ll look good all year, as it includes a free 100% cotton T-shirt with our logo up front and custom artwork on the back.
Hi:
I hope everyone at the magazine had a good Thanksgiving. I have been a subscriber since the old "Auto-X" days and have never missed an issue. There is no magazine better for the ultimate sportscar/performance/racing enthusiast.
Does this $9.99 deal apply to subscription extensions, or just new subscribers? Thanks for a great pair of magazines.
Regards,
John H.
It applies for extensions, too–just use the same name and address.
Tom, what would the deal be for two or three year extensions of current subscriptions? Also, you can save my shirt, and sell it at one of your events. I have soooooo many t-shirts, and cotton is too warm in the Palm Springs area. I'd rather help cut your ovearhead, and maybe others will follow?
I've been an appreciative subscriber since Hemming's Sports & Exotics ceased publication. I was lucky to have found your magazine!
