Folks, our biggest sale of the year is now less than a week away.
As a proud Milwaukee-based publication, The Recombobulation Area does indeed celebrate the glorious holiday that is Milwaukee Day, on April 14.
(For those unfamiliar: This holiday lands on 4/14 for the city’s 414 area code. It was invented as a half-joking idea between friends Andy Silverman, Brent Gohde, and Timm Gable in 2010, and has since grown to become a signature celebration in a city that loves to celebrate.)
So, as we’ve done for the past few years on Milwaukee Day, we are offering 41.4% off all subscriptions to The Recombobulation Area!
That means a full-year subscription that’s normally $50 is available for about $29, and monthly subscriptions that are normally $5 are available for $2.93. Pretty good deal, right?
We’ve got some new things to announce for our paid subscribers in the coming days and weeks, too, so stay tuned.
But for now, we wanted to give you an early heads up. For one, we wanted to give our free subscribers some advance notice before you upgrade to paid, but there’s another important part of this, too.
Those of you who subscribe to The Recombobulation Area are part of a community. We’re passionate about politics, maybe a little nerdy, and probably pretty goofy. This is all genuinely amazing. You guys are the best.
But this publication is an independent operation and small business, with just one full-time employee. As much as I’m going to be posting about this sale — and you know there will be more than a few tweets and newsletters about this — we need our wonderful community to help spread the word.
So, we’re asking you to share this sale with someone. There’s someone out there, someone you probably know, who might enjoy our brand of political commentary, analysis and reporting here at The Recombobulation Area. This is an election year, and there’s going to be a whole lot of people paying attention to what’s happening in Milwaukee and Wisconsin. You better believe we’re going to be part of that conversation, and we want more and more people to join this incredible community.
So, once again, this sale will be 41.4% off and it gets started on 4/14, Milwaukee Day, April 14.
The sale will run through the end of the day on Tuesday, April 16. The sale price comes out to less than $30 for a full-year subscription, and you can get started with a monthly subscription for less than $3 per month.
If you have any questions about this sale or about your subscription, feel free to email us directly at therecombobulationarea@gmail.com.
We’re building something pretty special here. We’re so glad you’re a part of it. Let’s keep growing this thing, one subscriber at a time.
More to come soon.
