Dear La Vie Claire Subscriber,
When I decided to launch La Vie Claire in 2004, my goal was to create the most visually beautiful magazine ever published about inspiring women following their dreams and living lives with passion. Based on the overwhelming response we’ve received through your letters, national awards, and strong newsstand sales, I would say we’ve succeeded.
As we begin our sixth year of publishing, we’ve decided to make a few changes that we think will set La Vie Claire farther apart from most traditional magazines. Your next issue of La Vie Claire will arrive in December and will set the standard for the seasonal issues to follow. Here’s what you can look forward to:
-	MORE STORIES {each issue will be 24+ pages longer}
-	LESS ADVERTISING {traditional advertising will be replaced by a limited number of sponsors—partners of La Vie Claire}
-	SAME PRICE {while single copy prices will increase, subscription prices, which include 4 issues annually, will remain the same}
-	SAME QUALITY {book-a-zine format, same glossy paper}
-	BOOK DISCOUNTS {La Vie Claire subscribers will receive special discounts on books produced by the editors of La Vie Claire, such as the recently published Women and The Sea and our upcoming book featuring cottages and gardens by the sea.
We will simply be giving you more of what you love for the same price! We think this is a great way to start the new year and hope you agree.
As a thank you for your support and patience during this transition, we’d like to extend a 20% discount on gift subscriptions to La Vie Claire (1 year, 4 issues: $19.96) as well as a 10% discount on the recently published Women and The Sea; Hearing the Siren’s Song—great gift ideas for the upcoming holiday season.
