Open-ended subscription sales have benefited from the development of the new marketing mix launched in 2014. The contraction in fixed-term subscription offers and the books, merchandise, audio and video range reflects the reduced level of prospecting on these product lines in a challenging environment. The growth in other offers primarily factors in the development of marketing services for third parties.
