Free Lowepro Mini Trekker AW with Practical Photography subscription

[wack61]

Just came across this, never used them before but it looks like a good deal

It's a bit confusing the way they written it out so I rang the number and ordered on the phone, I was told the £60.70 includes 12 months practical photography and the bag

The Mini Trekker AW is such a good bag

Can fit soo much stuff in there which is good because it's quite small in size. Defo a bag worth getting!!

You have to add £15 to the subscription for the Mini Trekker according to the small print, the free bag is the Orion Trekker.

Although this is not clear when you go to checkout

That is confusing I just ordered by phone, the £60.70 inlcudes the bag and 12 months subscription to PP so it is in the price just very confusing the way they've written it:bang:

Yes - as their standard sub is £48.10, and the bag offer is £60.70, yet the site says there is a £15 addition

For anyone wanting to do this I can confirm it works, 1st mag and a brand new Lowepro Mini Trekker AW arrived in the post today, £60.70, bargain

B***rs sent me an Orion.... Waiting for an email from them as I sent them a mail immediately after I had paid confirming that a Mini Trekker had been despatched and they responded with a confirmation to say it had... low and behold, it hasn't...

 

[rdasilva]

the same here... I had signed up for practical photography and I was expecting to receive a mini trekker and today the orion trekker has arrived, I do not like this bag at all even the practical photography magazine did nothing for me. Now I'm trying to get hold with someone to sort this bag issue out.

... and a further 10% off through quidco.com or 8% topcashback.co.uk

Update on my saga....

After emailing them confirming that the Mini Trekker would be sent out and then receiving an Orion (which is tiny!) - I emailed them back with a copy of their confirmation. Reply took a week or so - but they said they would send out the correct one.

Low and behold.... A Mini Trekker is now added to the bag collection

All I have to do now is send the Orion back! (I have a freepost address to send it to, so it wont cost me anything)

Got my mini Trekker AW yesterday I paid £58.20 bargain, now I have 12 months of magazines to read too wonder how they manage this sort of offer?

bulk deal on bags
plus they still make money by cutting out all the middlemen - newsagents cut, distribution, magazine wholesaler etc.

It's also a lot to do with advertising. If the publisher says to a prospective advertiser that they print 100,000 copies monthly, it means little to the advertiser - as these 100,000 copies may well get sent back (sale or return) or end up in a doctors surgery where the advertisement is useless.

Subsribers however are a completely different audience - they are "guaranteed" to be interested in the subject matter, so the more subscribers a publication has, the more it can charge for advertising space, and the more likely they are to get the space sold in the 1st place.
