Frequently Asked Questions

Plain-language answers about the Marketing Sled and the Trend Sled — pricing, content, refunds, and how to cancel. If a question here doesn’t cover what you need, write to the editor and a reply comes back within two working days.

Pricing

How is the publication priced?

The Marketing Sled is free. The weekly briefing lands in your inbox on Wednesdays and stays free for the foreseeable future.

The Trend Sled is a paid, gated product. Both monthly and annual memberships are available, so you can pick the cadence that fits how your team reads research.

Early subscribers lock in a launch discount on the annual tier. That window runs through 15 September 2026; after it closes, the annual rate moves to its standing price.

Memberships are purchased on the Ghost site that hosts Trends-Led Intel. Once you’re a member, everything you read on this site stays free and open.

Content

What’s the difference between the two products?

Two publications, two cadences, two audiences. Most readers start with the free weekly and step up to the Trend Sled when they want the deeper briefings.

Deeper-dive trend intelligence for fintech marketers, bank strategists, and capital-markets innovators who need the working frameworks, not just the headlines.

Refunds

What’s the refund policy?

Billing for paid memberships — annual and monthly — is handled on the Ghost site that hosts Trends-Led Intel. This site does not hold your payment details and cannot process refunds directly.

If you need a refund, sign in to the Ghost account you used at purchase and request it from the membership or billing page there. The Ghost team works through refund requests on their own timeline.

Cancellation

How do I cancel?

Cancellations are managed on the Ghost site that hosts Trends-Led Intel, in the same account where the membership was purchased. There are no Polsia-hosted account settings to cancel from — the Ghost site is the source of truth for your membership.

Sign in to your Ghost account, open the membership or billing page, and end the membership there. Your access ends when Ghost processes the cancellation; we don’t sit between you and that flow.

If you cancel and the change doesn’t appear, write to the editor and we’ll help escalate it with the Ghost team on your behalf.
