Q: Why does selling newspapers make a good fundraising campaign? A: No money is required up front. You don’t have to buy the product and resell it and you never actually handle the product.

Q: Are door-to-door sales required? A: No. You can succeed with this program just by asking family, friends and neighbours to purchase their newspaper subscriptions to help raise money for your cause.

Facts We support literacy programs in B.C. through the Newspapers in Education and Raise-A-Reader programs.

The newspaper is a great source for in-depth local news, sports, entertainment listings and consumer awareness of local retail and travel deals.

Our newsprint is made from three main sources of fibre: recycled newsprint; leftover woodchips (efficient waste from the sawmilling process); and low quality, defective logs unsuitable for B.C. lumber manufacture, maximizing precious resource.

The Vancouver Sun and The Province support local communities by providing a way for schools and sports teams to raise money selling daily newspaper subscriptions. Every sale will generate a $30 profit for your fundraiser and the whole program has been developed to be quick and easy.

How The Program Works Your team will be provided with subscription order forms. The sales support information needed to close subscription sales is on page 2.

It makes the selling process simple:

• Showfriends,familyandneighboursthe FundraisingSupportInformationSheet(page2.)

• Subscriberprospectsselectthenewspaper subscription they would like receive

• Thevolunteersfillouttheorderformwiththe purchaser’s applicable information and collect $42 for each new subscription purchased

At the end of the two-week campaign, your team captain will collect the orders and tally the total number of subscriptions sold. Your team captain will then contact us and the newspaper subscriptions will be started within 8 business days. Once all orders are started, we will issue the fundraising group a cheque for the money raised.

Fundraising Returns For every new daily subscription sold, your fundraising group turns a $30 profit, more than a 71% return.

A: Two weeks. Once the orders are finalized we’ll issue you a cheque, usually within 21 days.
