New membership benefit: A free T-shirt

By Howard B. Owens

We have an exciting new offer for people who join The Batavian's voluntary subscription program -- a free T-shirt from Top Line Shirt Company.

The T-shirt is printed with The Batavian logo on front and back.

All members -- including those who have already joined -- can receive the free T-shirt.

To receive your T-shirt, once you join (and current members have already gotten this e-mail), you will receive an e-mail with a PDF attachment that you can print out and take to Top Line T-shirt Company at 212 E. Main St., Batavia. The voucher must be redeemed in person. T-shirts will not be mailed out.

And of course, as a voluntary subscriber, you will still get vouchers at local businesses for up to $600 in savings, all for less than $60 per year. For a list of savings offers, click here.

The cost is either $4.95 per month or $59.95 per year. You can pay through PayPal, or mail us a check.

For details on the program, click here.

Paying by check: Send a check or money order to The Batavian for $59.95. For those paying by check, only the annual subscription rate is available. Please be sure to include on a separate piece of paper, your name, address, phone and e-mail address. Mail to: The Batavian, LLC, 200 E. Main St., #5, Batavia, NY 14020.

Monthly Subscription Fee: $4.95

The monthly subscription fee will automatically be deducted from your PayPal account until you unsubscribe via PayPal.*

Annual Subscription Fee: $59.95

Shouldn't it be LESS expensive if you commit to an entire year subscription?

It's only $.55 more, but it destroys any incentive to make an annual subscription purchase.

We're already priced at a rock-bottom price for it to make any sense for us to even do this. And the goal isn't to encourage annual subscriptions. They're available as an option because some people prefer to pay annual. Monthly memberships are much better for our cash flow.

Further, we're talking about $600 (so far) in potential annual savings. You'd pass that up over 55 cents?

Trying to sell free for $59.95 is hard. But don't forget about bottled water and cable TV. I never believed anyone would pay for TV. I still can't believe I do, but I still can't believe I'm married after thirty two years either, so it's obvious I don't know much. She watches that cable TV, I don't. It costs way more than $59.95 per year though, and way more than $59.95 per month, now that I think of it. And I have been thinking about it, a lot. Do you do gift subscriptions Howard?
