hotpress.com launches subscriptions

Hotpress.com, Ireland's premier music, politics and entertainment website,
has announced the launch of its subscription-based service this week, with
the unveiling of a superb membership benefit package.

The membership package will give an unrivalled range of exciting
and exclusive benefits to its many tens of thousands of anticipated
subscribers.

Among the attractions to be offered exclusively to members are discount
albums (at €10.00 each), exclusive concert tickets and a wide selection of
other free and reduced-rate specials, and great competitions.

The 12,000 already existing members of hotpress.com, whose use of the site
has helped to generate an estimated million page impressions per month, will
be entitled to sign-up for the special discount price of €10.00 for a yearly
subscription (that’s the price of three pints – less, in fact).

"We always knew that we couldn’t provide the kind of quality content that is
featured on hotpress.com, on a permanently free basis," the site’s Director
Of Operations, Duan Stokes, remarked this week. "We announced at the
initial launch of hotpress.com eight months ago that subscription charges
would come into play in due course. However, our first priority has always
been to make sure that users get a world-class service.

"We also wanted to be sure that we would be offering subscribers really
excellent value for money. So, we’ve put together an overall membership
package which means that it will pay people to join. And, of course, we will
continue to add to the range of benefits."

In other words, if you're in, you can - in fact will - win!
