Victory at last!
Myself and Lindsey (locumvoice) have been attempting to get an advert in the PJ to try to attract more members to our forums, and to obviously make more pharmacists aware we actually exist. After initial refusal we have a victory. The following e-mail was received today, and the bulk of it is reproduced here.
I wonder what made them changed their minds? They have even offered a 25% discount!
So has anybody any ideas what an advert regarding this forum should say?
I hope this shows that if you keep chipping away things can be done, and attitudes changed.
Thanks to everybody who made suggestions and offered help in this matter!

I know that you have been disappointed about the PJ policy not to take advertisements from any organisation that we perceive to be a competitor. Yesterday, as a result of your concerns, I raised the issue at the Publishing Executive – the group that runs all RPSP activities – to which I belong.
After careful consideration we have decided to change our approach in this instance and, as a result, are happy to accept an advertisement/notice from you.
In these slightly unusual circumstances, and as a goodwill gesture, I would like to offer you a 25 per cent reduction on the normal cost of advertising.
If you prefer us to put your details on Notice-Board – which is free of charge – please let us know.
Best wishes
