In October, we launched our 55,000-listing on-line media directory, Contacts On Tap™, the 1.0 module. Someday we'll share a few of the many comments we've received from delighted patrons. For the thousands of folks who requested more functionality and distribution -- well, it seems like thousands, anyway -- do we have a Christmas present for you!

Our programming elves are working night and day building Contacts On Tap, the 2.0 module. Level 2.0 will allow subscribers to download data and create labels and letters on your own system. It will also allow you to build, save, and send to customized distribution lists directly from Contacts On Tap 2.0.

So if you haven't tried Module 1.0, sign up today. Remember, we offer a fully functional 15-day Free Trial, along with an in-depth Product Tour and an excellent assortment of FAQs. If you're holding out for Module 2.0, email us your name and contact information so we can get in touch when it's ready in mid December.

Contacts On Tap 1.0 is $395 for an annual subscription. Try getting the other on-line directories to talk to you for $395! You can't even purchase a print directory for less money and more contacts.

Contacts On Tap 2.0 will be $695 for an annual subscription. Current subscribers will be able to upgrade to 2.0 if you need the extra functionality.

At that rate, our pricing moves from incredibly less expensive than our so-called competition to merely enormously less expensive. The $395 Level 1.0 product will remain available for patrons who don't need the extra features.

About The Author

Richard B. Barger, ABC, APR

Richard B. Barger, ABC, APR, is well-positioned as CornerBarPR's Chief Curmudgeon; he's our version of Andy Rooney -- loves words, particularly loves to complain about idiocy.

In his spare time, Rich runs the inventively named Barger Consulting, where he conducts strategic communications planning and research, and gives people advice whether they want it or not.

Through the years, Rich has tricked unsuspecting folks into giving him positions as managing editor of the public relations division of a 180-person agency, and as a wire service editor, an economic analyst, a federal investigator, and, bless his little muddy boots, a farmer. Really. He fancies himself a pretty fair country editor and at one time was famous among about half a dozen people as "The Voice of IABC."

At various points in what passes for a career, he's done time as a member of IABC, PRSA, and NSPRA, as well as the Gifted Association of Missouri, the University of Missouri Alumni Association, the Council of Better Business Bureaus (as a Senior Arbitrator), and a handful of church choirs.

Known as "Boom-Boom Barger" in Marching Mizzou, Rich refuses to answer the phone during University of Missouri football or basketball games, plays a hard-edged game of bridge, and is married to a woman he doesn't like to talk about much, because she's smarter and much nicer than he is.

Barger's motto: "Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once."
