Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly ($25) has no commitment: stop whenever you want, from your account. Yearly ($250), you pay for 10 months out of 12.
Can my team use it too?
Yes. Each colleague is $25 a year: they get the same access as you and manage the same company profile.
Is it available in English?
Yes. Baron Mag covers the food and beverage industry across Canada, in English and French. The directory, messaging and tools all work in both languages.
I'm not a tech person. Is this for me?
Yes. It all starts with an email in the morning: click on what interests you. A guide walks you through your account, and the help button on every page answers right away or writes to us directly.
