PUBLISHING SERVICES UPDATE· You find us this week very busy, as usual·.
The main topic, of course, is the preparation of our department bud-
-.i
,
..
gets for 1978/79. We are continually trying to find ways of being
•
more cost effective in our publishing areas. As the budget permits,
t,)
we plan to do even more to expand our Plain Truth circulation this
corning year. One relatively new idea for the Plain Truth we've tried
recently is the use of outside mailing lists. We purchased a trial
list from Prevention Magazine and mailed a promotion offer of a trial
subscription to the Plain Truth. This has proved to be quite success-
ful and opens up a totally new avenue for spreading the gospel.
Initial response has been very encouraging. The respondees are pro
gressing so fast that quite a large percentage have already requested
the Correspondence Course.
Another point of interest: our printer for the Plain Truth and Quest/78
recently informed us again that the quality of the film we supply to
s.
them for printing is better and more consistent than the top publishers
including Time, Inc., Ziff Davis, NBC, etc. They say that our packages
.,
are better organized and reflect very well on our organization. Com- ·�
ments like this are very encouraging to our fel1ows in Printing Services
'!
here in Pasadena who handle the total preparation of film for the
j
over 20 printers we deal with worldwide.

We would like to ask at this time for any input the ministry may have
for the revived Good News. We are especially interested in your feed
back on how The Good News can serve the members now that we will be
adding a more spiritual and instructional emphasis to existing copy.
Your thoughts on the matter will be most appreciated. Please address
all correspondence to The Good News, Box 111, Pasadena, California,
