As Laborliss Magazine continues its courageous journey to become a “well-oiled machine,” fighting many non-believers and other small business demons along the way, it still somehow manages to keep a continuous distribution of 10,000 throughout the Tempe area, and growing. The creator of Laborliss Magazine, entrepreneur, and my odd-ball, massage therapist, real-estate-selling roommate, Brandon, is constantly trying new things to bring new viewership and new advertisers to the project. His latest endeavor has consisted of a direct opt-in email campaign to which his message was broadcast to over 4 million people’s inboxes (not SPAM boxes). His first message looked like this; yes, format and all:
Need something new to know about? Socially Acceptable presents Laborliss Magazine, a lifestyle magazine from the fictitious town called Laborliss. Open one page and be consumed by what is socially acceptable in this outrageously bizarre and creative display of human behavior.
The edgy, “make you think” type stories combine humor and intellect with nonsensical graphics creating r-i-d-i-c-u-l-o-u-s stimulation for your imagination. Laborliss is life-changing, allowing your mind to think the unthinkable. Have you ever considered what would happen in an epic battle of lawn grooming tools? Or really thought about whether playing with a banana or a hammock would be your best use of entertainment? Perhaps you just need tips on how to take a mental vacation….but readers be warned, you’ll probably get addicted. Since making its debut 27 issues back as a black and white flier written by mastermind Brandon Mullan, Laborliss Magazine has become a Phoenix phenomenon. People can’t get enough of the comic book meets newspaper that reaches people of all ages. Get yourself some new reading material and share it with your kids or your coworkers or your parents! Become a reader of Laborliss Magazine by going to
www.sociallyacceptable.org and clicking on the Laborliss Magazine tab. Be entertained for hours!
Excerpt from Issue 21:
How to Choose a Dentist on Looks!
Do you want an ugly guy staring into your mouth? Heck no! Only hot guys should get to poke at your teeth, which is why we want to help you choose a HOT dentist!
It’s Absolutely Vital That Your Dentist Has Long Arms
How much of your dentist you can see depends on how long his arms are (if he has long arms he can stand further away from you when he has his hands in your mouth and you’ll be able to get a better look at his whole body). So make sure he’s long armed and sexy!
After the surprising success of this first 1st, albeit rusty, campaign, he decided to ask me to design the next one. The following will be emailed to 10 million people over the next several days. We’re excited to see what interest it will spark and what the stats will say.
