Magazine Fundraising Allows Repeating Revenue
For some non profit groups, magazine fundraising is a perennial favorite. Some schools, churches, booster clubs, charities and other non-profit organizations sell them every year with consistent results.
One reason magazines are such good fundraisers for non-profit groups is that most households already subscribe to at least two. Since they will have to renew their favorite subscriptions eventually anyway, they might as well renew it from someone who is promoting a worthy cause—like yours.
Magazine fundraisers also work because of the tremendous variety of magazines that are available. Most people will be able to find at least one periodical that interests them and they're usually a lot cheaper than the newsstand price.
So it's an easy sale. No pledges, sponsorships or donation soliciting (begging) required.
So many choices...
There are magazines for nearly every topic under the sun. In fact, some companies provide subscriptions to over 650 different titles that your customers can choose from including news, sports, science, fashion, lifestyles, hobbies, home improvements, and many more. There is truly something for everyone. There are even a number of magazines for kids. What a great way to spark a child's interest in reading.
Magazine fundraisers are also easy to run. There's no product for your fundraising group to buy, so your volunteers just show the magazine brochure to family, friends and neighbors, and then fill out a form. That's it. You don't even have to deliver the magazines when they arrive since the post office takes care of that. It's simple. No inventory and no product delivery.
Now it's even easier since the whole process can be done online.
Why I like magazine fundraisers
What's even better is that these same customers will likely order from your magazine fundraisers again each year when they renew their subscriptions. Magazine subscriptions also make great gifts.
You're not limited by geographical area either. Your fundraiser volunteers can expand their customer base to include all their friends and relatives across the country.
