RunMags updates www.runmags.com

To improve responsiveness and to bring a bit of inspirational joy to your life we're introducing a new login page that boasts great looking photos from Unsplash. Create your own account and use it for your next article.

Founded 4 years ago as a humble Tumblr blog, Unsplash has grown into an industry-leading photography community. It’s become a source of inspiration for everyone from award-winning writers like Deepak Chopra to industry-titans like Apple, and millions of creators worldwide.

We're hoping that you'll feel as inspired by the pictures as we do when you login to RunMags!

This past week we have aligned the tools in the production module with the channel structure.

The channel structure was recently expanded to allow for ad inventory in social media and newsletters. With the expansion of ad inventory we feel that it has become important to improve the production tools to support all channels.

In addition to the flatplan tools that we've had for print and digital for some time this rollout is now also making it possible for production teams to visualize and plan web banners, social media posts and newsletters sponsorship in time.

With this rollout we're beginning a journey around content and fulfilment that is expected to play a major part of RunMags in the near future.

Based on feedback we have made the layout of the proposals/contracts a bit tighter. This is to ensure the right information is displayed while ensuring that they are easy to read and understand.

Today we are announcing our latest update which will allow you to set up new advertising inventory specific to social media and newsletter channels. Seize the opportunity to expand advertising revenue.

While Stripe has been widely adopted by our customers, we've also frequently had customers saying that Stripe is not active in their countries and/or PayPal is a preferred method of payment over credit cards.

For all of you that have shared this feedback; now RunMags integrates with PayPal in addition to Stripe. Now you can allow your subscribers to sign up and renew using their PayPal account.

Check out our knowledge base for information on how to set up your PayPal integration.

Alignment of the knowledge base with the naviation structure of RunMags and how the user skillset increases over time.

We're quite excited to take the next step in servicing our customers. Today we are introducing Maggie, the RunMags bot! She's quite young and is still learning the ropes, but give her a chance and we're certain that she will develop her skills over time.

We're excited to officially release our mass email feature in a first version. Starting today you be able to send mass emails to subscribers and soon we'll make this tool available for you to send emails to advertisers as well.

Create a selection of subscribers who meet certain criteria, design an email and send it to the selected subscribers. Create an automated email to encourage subscribers to renew when they are nearing the end of their subscriptions.

This and many other possibilities are now made available to our customers. Check out this article in our knowledge base: http://docs.runmags.com/subscription-sales/automating-subscription-sales/automated-subscription-renewal-notice

Happy Easter!

We just updated the user interface to get more focus on the functional areas of the navigation menu, rather than the sub-menus. This also allowed us to give the icons a new fresh look!

Big news today, we're starting a public changelog so you're always up to date with all the updates, improvements and fixes that are made in RunMags.

Even though we work on RunMags all the time, sometimes it may seem that not much is happening. This changelog is here to improve that very important part of the communication between you and us.

You'll always receive an update when we change something in the widget, or if needed all things we've changed is available on our public changelog page (https://updates.runmags.com).

Merry Christmas!
