Alan Weaver Associates have provided circulation modelling software and advice for over 20 years. We launched The Weaver Publishing Model in 2004 to help publishers create subscription plans and budgets quickly, easily and accurately. We supply:

• A copy of our circulation modelling software, with usage defined through a software licence agreement

• Operational guides and training manuals

• Installation support

• User training

• Software customisation, if required

• Ongoing software maintenance and upgrades

• Guidance and advice for loading future expiry and deferred income data from your fulfilment system or service bureau

We prepare for new installations of The Weaver Publishing Model as follows:

Step 1: Publishers make contact to describe their product range, their subscription marketing policies and procedures (source groups, term lengths, payment methods etc) and their existing budgeting methods

Step 2: We talk to the publisher, identify which version of The Weaver Publishing Model is most suitable, and we demonstrate the appropriate version, either directly or remotely

Step 3: We prepare a quotation which specifies the software and services that would be provided. We quote a fixed fee for each item supplied (such as the software, user training and any customisation) plus travelling and hotel expenses as incurred

Step 4: Publishers sign our software licence agreement, which specifies their rights and responsibilities, and they pay the software licence fee

Step 5: The project starts. Most projects have four distinct phases: user training, loading future expiry and deferred income data, creating the first budget scenario, and process review. We work with publishers own staff so that our skills and experiences can be transferred directly into the organisation
