Archived Newsletter Issue 151 : Tuesday 05 August 2014
We are delighted to report that the number of subscribers to our Newsletter is now over 30,000, an increase of nearly 20% in less than a year.
These readers are in addition to the tens of thousands of you who find us each week direct from the web. Each year we receive around 500,000 hits on our news pages and 2 million across all of our information pages.
The web allows you to join us wherever you may be in the world, but for three years in a row the Anglophone community in France has been the largest growing section of our readership, now accounting for around 45% of our subscribers.
We welcome you all, as we intend to continue to develop a broadly based Anglophone readership, from both within and outside of the borders of France, by offering a product that caters for both audiences.
Bonnes vacances,
David Yeates
