As someone who is traditionally poor at self promotion, not only am I taking a moment to do that today, but I’m taking it even further by offering my first ever discount for The Pen Addict Membership.
The main question I have to answer to you, and to myself, is why? The short version is: I’m curious. The Pen Addict Membership is a core reason why I’m about to wrap up my eighth year of working for myself, and spreading the stationery love. Your support of everything I create means the world to me.
As a Pen Addict Member, what do you get?
- Refill, the weekly Member newsletter. I recently published Issue #401 this past weekend, exploring a recent favorite pen of mine. Each week contains similar content, such as trip reports from pen shows and other adventures, thoughts on the stationery market as a whole, how I use stationery, plus a weekly Ink Links section with commentary, monthly Member giveaways, a recap of everything I published during the week, and more. (Here is a PDF sample of Issue #399. Formatting is better via email, or through the Member site, but you will get the idea.)
- P.A.R. (Pen Addict Rating,) a monthly grade of a stationery product. I’ve provided grades on 55 products so far - pens, pencils, paper, ink - based on my own usage.
- TPA Chronicles, a monthly recap of what I have been using, and why.
- Friend of the Show, a monthly(-ish) podcast where I interview other members and discuss their stationery story.
- Discounts to The Pen Addict Shop.
- Full archive of published content.
And who knows what else I will come up with!
Part of the Pen Addict 100 Project I am working on.
Membership is always growing and changing, so I figured, why not bring more people into the loop? Currently, the two Membership options are $48 for an Annual subscription, or $5 for a Monthly subscription.
From today, through Friday, December 1st, I am offering 20% off the Annual Membership option with the code ITS20OFF. You can also click through this link to apply the code directly.
Existing members won’t miss out, either. Use the same code to extend your annual membership and receive the same discounted rate.
While I am experimenting with discounts, I have taken 10% off all pens in The Pen Addict Shop during this same time period. While 10% on its own is great, Pen Addict Members currently have a 25% off shop code listed in the newsletter, which is valid with the additional discount. If interested, simply log in to your Member account, click “Posts” on the sidebar, open Issue #401, and scroll to the bottom to find the current code, and have fun!
The Pen Addict X Benu 15th Anniversary Pen, found in The Pen Addict Shop.
To recap, this is a limited time discount that I am running for this week only, on both The Pen Addict Annual Membership, and selected items in The Pen Addict Shop. Let’s see how it goes, and thank you for your support!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
