Why Magazines?
The average American household spends over $60 a year on magazines. Only 2.1% of these magazine sales originate from school plans. Most subscriptions are purchased directly from the publishers, through advertising, through direct mail (sweepstakes), or through telemarketing. When magazines are purchased through these avenues, family and friends are sending 100% of their money out of town.
By ordering through schools, customers can order magazines at the same, often lower, price and keep a major portion of the money in the community. Schools that repeat the sale year after year after year have seen sales and profits grow as communities become aware that they can reorder their favorite magazines through the school. Additional benefits include:
- No products to handle! Without storage, delivery, damages, shortages, or leftover inventory to deal with, there is less work for the school.
- Magazines offer the community a true dollar-for-dollar value. Customers do not pay a penny more when they order through the school.
- Magazines are a popular source of learning for all age groups, providing up-to-date information on a wide range of topics.
- Money is collected with orders, giving schools quick access to profits.
- Each subscription is covered with an absolute customer satisfaction guarantee.
- Every customer is provided with a toll-free customer service number.
- JH Distributors can send an on-site service person to assist you with your sale.
- Expanded market potential through telephone sales to friends and relatives located anywhere in the country.
- 95% of schools repeat magazine sale programs every year because they are profitable and easy to run.
