The $12 is not being charged - as this is not targetted at charging subscriptions - it is about creating value - in the end the market will determine what readers are prepared to pay.

Unfortunately, I don't think that this issue has delivered. I had sincerely hoped for a magazine that profiled businesses from an objective point of view (providing a credible source of information for readers), as opposed to the self promoting articles that comprise The Profit. The RRP of $12 seems optimistic when a Time magazine retails for less and has less advertorials. Perhaps time and some revision of the content and layout will see The Profit become a coveted business publication??

We need people in Hawke's Bay who will develop innovative ideas and businesses. The property investment will come later. Talk about getting the tail before the dog!
