SMU Updates Membership Options
Written by Brett Linton
February 25, 2019
As part of our process of strengthening Steel Market Update’s services, we have made some improvements and enhancements. After reviewing our subscription models, and receiving feedback from our valued customers, we have streamlined our membership options. We believe these changes will be beneficial for our members and allow for greater access to the service.
The vast majority of our subscribing companies like to be able to share the product across their teams, from sales and production to the warehouse and executive suites. So, we are now providing simple user tiers of up to 4 members and 5-9 members.
The biggest change, we now offer Regional and Global memberships to our subscribers. These new memberships offer UNLIMITED members within your company. With the Regional membership, any member of your company within North America will have access to membership for no additional fee. The Global membership provides access for any member of your company worldwide at no additional cost. These memberships will be especially beneficial to larger or growing companies.
These enhancements are available for both Steel Market Update’s Premium and Executive products. As a refresher, Steel Market Update’s Premium membership provides deeper access to our website data and additional newsletters (sent 3-5 times per month on average). The goal of our Premium membership is to provide our customers with as much relevant market data and steel-related insight as we can. This spans from macro-economic drivers to transaction data and includes from mill production to service center inventories…truly the information you need to make important business decisions!
To subscribe or upgrade your subscription, please contact me. My name is Paige Mayhair, and I am the account executive at Steel Market Update. I am happy to discuss any of these changes with you. You can reach me at 724-720-1012 or email me at Paige@SteelMarketUpdate.com to get more information and learn which of these plans best fits your company. If you are new to Steel Market Update, please call, email or visit the website at SteelMarketUpdate.com to sign up for your 3-week Premium Free Trial. I look forward to hearing from you!
