Migration Complete!

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Well its been over a month now since the new Book-Span Book Club sites have been live.  I must say that they did a good job and they seem to be a hit with the new users.  The new interface is sleek and easy to work with.   They are currently working on getting more selection and offers available to you.  Check out some of the new sites and let me know what you think.  I’ll keep you posted on any new offers.

No More Automatic Shipments!

***The following is for NEW MEMBERSHIPS ONLY!  Any memberships created before this change will continue to operate the same***

It’s exciting news in the world of book clubs.  Most of popular book clubs are run by Booksonline.  They have decided to resolve a lot of the hassles that go along with belonging to a book club.  Up until now, you were sent featured selections every month.  if you didn’t want them; you had to send a card in before it shipped, or return it once you received it.  Hey, it is a book CLUB, but people tend to either not know that this is what comes along with joining, or just forget time to time.  It can be a real hassle.  Booksonline has changed their policies and now there is a much easier way to enjoy the book clubs.  Here are the changes outlined below, as well as what will stay the same.

  • Books will only be sent at the request of the member (no automatic shipments)
  • The member will continue to receive a FREE Club catalog about every 3 weeks plus other special promotions
  • The catalog will be sent by email or postal mail depending on the member’s preference
  • The catalog will continue to review the Editor’s Featured Selection plus other great titles
  • If the member does not want to receive the Featured Selection, the member no longer has to respond
  • If the member wants the Featured Selection or another title, they can order on the web, on the reply form, or by phone
  • The member can buy books from the catalog or web site anytime they want
As you can see, these are welcomed changes and I think that this will really make members more satisfied.
