We have been sent good ideas and valuable resources from marketers, gurus and others on WF such that we think it makes sense to throw everything we know about our new objective on the table and let people who know this subject discuss it and find a solution.

The idea to do this has also come about from what we heard in the messages we received which is a genuine interest to help us. We have budgeted $3,350 with which we will compensate those who participate if we are successful, paid out in proportion to what each person helps us achieve.

We understand this may be a bit unorthodox and may not suit everyone. But we think it sounds kind of fun, we believe in the power of collaborative effort, the Internet and think working this way we may be able to find a way to accomplish what hasn't yet been accomplished: massively accelerate the rate at which the largest advertising agreements we provide are sold.

First, if you don't know us, here's a little of our story: Our Company produces The Reader Magazine, one of the largest circulation free community print magazines that large, mid and small businesses use to reach 300,000 people in 9 SoCal cities, to influence the buying decisions of a readership which earns about $8 billion annually.

Unlike many of our competitors, when the financial crises came, we were prepared financially and operationally to navigate the choppy economic waters and have emerged an even stronger business.

If you've read DSJ's "The Power of Pull", you won't be surprised by a company of our size making this post. You will know precisely why we are "going to the edge", and WF is aptly described as the edge, in order to access and attract people, resources and knowledge to achieve an objective and share the reward of achieving that objective with others, according to the effort they contribute.

We are posting this on WF to create a new network of people and resources who collaborate with us each month, and reach the objective of the sale of two "Full-Page, 4-Zone, 1-year" advertising agreements, and share the reward of $3,350.00 for each of these agreements sold, paid at the time of sale, which is about $6,700 per month in available reward money. You can get more information as to how our advertising is priced on our website: Reader Magazine: SoCal's Leading Advertising Solution.

For December, to start off with a bang, we want to sell two of these agreements between today, December 13 and December 24.

We've created a virtual "creative space" here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/...9ofasLmC3yfgKWsUY/edit?hl=en&authkey=CNeOsrkE which will begin to have links to viewable and editable information that can be used in knowing more prospective buyers and other data that can help anyone contribute to accomplishing the objective. Feel free to edit the information, or send questions to us directly or post them at the site.

Recap of the Goal:

• Sell two of the largest advertising agreements available over the next nine business days (December 13 to December 24).
• Those advertisements are full-page, four-zone advertising agreements that provide an advertiser 40,000 mailings per month for 7¢ per mailing, or $2,800/mo for 40,000 mailings per month.

A little word on how much value advertisers get with The Reader:

If you've ever done any direct mail advertising on your own, you know that the costs quickly add up: postage at 25¢ to 44¢, printing at 10¢, data, design, labeling and handling at 30¢ bring the final cost to about a buck per mailing. On the other hand, in terms of effectiveness, an incomparable sign of direct mail's long term power is this: Since Advertising Age started keeping track of what US businesses spend the most on to advertise (they started in 1927), every year (including 2009) US businesses have spent more on direct mail than any other form of advertising, including TV, newspapers, the Internet, everything.

Everyone can blab and blab about how great their form of advertising is, but only one form can accurately be designated by what is an inarguable trait of relative superiority in terms of effectiveness-- ad spend-- and that form of advertising is direct mail .

Well, if you want to know why we've grown, instead of a business paying a buck to reach a prospect, with our publication, they can get a full-page, full-color ad designed, printed and mailed and included in one of the most popular magazines in the area for 8¢. When large businesses reach 40,000 households a month, and sign up for a year contract, the price goes down to about 7¢, or about $2,800/month for 12 months.

In November, we published the largest Reader Magazine in our 10-year history.

Finally, if selling isn't your thing, you may still collaborate with us to achieve the objective. You may be able to provide access a great database of leads in Southern California we've not thought of-- maybe you're adept at email marketing, or using the web to research, or maybe you know of a way to accomplish our objective we've never thought of.
 


Is this a really long, drawn out way to say you wish to hire a sales team who works on commission?
