What Our Clients Say

  • Migrating the majority of our circulation management to PWX Solutions 3+ years ago has proven to be a great decision for us. Their experience supporting a vast array of other publishers has allowed us to employ a number of proven best practices, deliver highly profitable direct mail campaigns, and significantly grow our gift programs. Their breadth of experience – from traditional direct marketing to digital marketing – has been highly useful in guiding many key aspects of our consumer marketing strategy.
    Content sales are the single most significant contributor to the success of our business model – and PWX Solutions has been a critical, key partner in delivering profitable, sustainable subscription growth.

  • PWX Solutions has delivered incredible success in retention and gift programs across Hoffman Media’s special interest titles. By introducing best practices and new pricing models, our holiday campaign subscription revenue tripled in three years. By strategically changing key drivers of renewal revenue, we were able to increase renewal prices while maintaining response rates. These changes transformed our circulation business model and allowed us to innovate, create and launch new titles, continuing the company’s steady and remarkable growth.

  • America’s Test Kitchen has a diversified revenue model encompassing television, digital memberships, ecommerce, books, and events that have grown from our initial print magazine platform. Magazines remain at the heart of our business model, and PWX Solutions has been integral in optimizing this channel for profitability as well as a vital source driving lifetime value across our portfolio. Our relationship with PWX Solutions launched during a time of change at ATK, and their partnership has been invaluable in moving our business forward in an environment that is certainly challenging for print titles.

  • Having PWX Solutions manage our production and print management for Garden & Gun has worked out even better than I expected. As a single title publisher, we would have not been able to rationalize the investment in talent across all facets of the production process that we are now able to leverage. I know that the PWX Solutions team has me covered from book makeup and ad trafficking to vetting my print and paper bills.

Strategic Planning


Any new client relationship begins with a comprehensive review of your current business, pinpointing immediate needs, challenges, and goals. We study your recent successes and obstacles, identify methods to best meet your objectives, and then rigorously test those assumptions. Once clear goals have been outlined, we create a customized plan and regularly review progress to ensure we remain on target.

Strategic planning may include the following:

  • SWOT Analysis
  • Annual Review of Goals and Objectives
  • Predictive Modeling
  • Budgets and Financial Planning
  • Test Planning and Evaluation
  • Research and Competitive Analysis

Acquisition and Retention


At PWX Solutions, we understand the multi-faceted approach needed for an effective and comprehensive marketing strategy. For maximum success and revenue growth, we focus on both new business acquisition and retention marketing to help our clients reach profitability and longevity.

Driving New Business

New business acquisition is key for growing and maintaining your business. From the top of the acquisition funnel, we assist clients with identifying their target audiences, communicating effectively to prospects, and converting those prospects into paid customers or donors. Investing in a robust new business strategy will ultimately pay off over time, leading to increased ROI and profitability.

Maximizing Customer Retention

While new business feeds the funnel, a solid retention strategy is essential for revenue growth. Strong retention rates indicate satisfied customers, which is always our goal! Nurturing and engaging with existing customers is vital – replacing a customer is much more costly than keeping an existing one – and thus contributes to long-term profitability. Our marketers are experts at managing subscription and membership businesses, optimizing retention rates and maximizing overall net revenue.

Multi-Channel Marketing


A comprehensive marketing plan includes outreach across numerous channels to achieve the greatest possible results. We understand every client’s needs differ and provide customized offerings. PWX Solutions draws from expertise across digital and brick-and-mortar channels to recommend tactics to help clients exceed their goals.
