Magazine Fundraisers -
Your Number 1 Fundraiser

Magazine Fundraisers are definitely one of my most favourite Fundraising ideas! They can be so rewarding and easy to set up!!!

So how does it Work?

Just like Inkjet Fundraisers, magazine companies and newsstands will pay commissions for subscriptions that you have referred to them...

And some of these commissions can be very lucrative!

Statistics say that the average household subscribes to between 3-5 magazines a year...

So even if you only market this idea to your current supporters it should still be very rewarding and profitable.

An added bonus is that some companies will pay you lifetime commissions on subscriptions you’ve referred to them. Meaning that you will earn that commission for as long as the person you referred subscribes for.

It just keeps getting better and better, doesn’t it!!!

So How Do You Set It Up?

Your best option would be to sign up to a fundraising company that provides thousands of different magazine subscriptions!

You'll receive 40% commission on all sales for over 1000 different popular magazines. All you have to do is set up a customized sales page on their website and then direct supporters to it to subscribe to their favourite magazines!

This is of course an American company, so if you are from another country I would suggest you do a simple Google search below to find magazines, newsstands or fundraising companies that you'll be able to represent, and that will pay good commissions.

(A Tip: Use the following search query including the plus signs: +affiliate +magazines)

Another option would be to look around backend providers like commission junction to find magazines and newsstands to represent. You may find some great magazines that fit perfectly with your cause and its supporters!

Once you've set up your unique magazine subscription page or found decent magazine affiliates to represent, all you'll need to do then is market your magazine fundraiser...

And Market Your Magazine Fundraisers?

• Start by setting up a link or webpage on your website directing people to your newsstand. Be creative about it, encourage people to subscribe to magazines through your link explaining how it will help raise funds for your cause!

• Look to recommend specific magazines that you think your supporters will be interested in!
• Email and post out letters to all your family, friends and supporters informing them about the Fundraiser and encouraging them to subscribe to their magazines through the link on your website. Once again recommend specific magazines of interest!
• Include info about the magazine fundraiser in your regular newsletters.
• Send out emails before and during major holidays like Christmas saying what a great gift a magazine subscription can be!!!
• Look through the ideas on the fundraising website marketing page and the visitor retention page and see if you can use any of those... Like what about using social networking sites!

Remember, the key is to be creative and proactive... So use these ideas and brainstorm your own!

I’m sure you’ll find some excellent ways of making this great Fundraiser really successful and rewarding.
