SellingNewspapers.com (SN)
is a high-tech website that was
created to help
for-profit and non-profit
organizations (large and small)
raise
needed revenue and
newspapers to
increase circulation.
SN is owned and operated by Daley
Technology
Systems, LLC. The
SN
website allows all
active parties to input data, update
information
and track sales
results. We are committed to
providing a valuable service to all
parties and are very selective
about whom we partner with in these
initiatives.
We are also affiliated with
companies like OWL Enterprises,
Formula Drift , Joe Barter, LLC,
RadEvent, to provide great incentives,
discounts and opportunities for
participants. After a person
subscribes to a newspaper Joe Barter
can offer amazing incentives for the
person to remain a subscriber. This
really helps participating
newspapers in their retention
programs.
EXAMPLE: Participants/ attendees at
selected theme parks receive an
automatic membership to Joe Barter (joebarter.com)
which provides FREE gifts each month
when they return to the parks. Gifts
include; free sodas, paintballs,
travel mugs, movie tickets, VIP
passes and other promotional items.
(All items are based on
availability.)

How DTS can
help your organization
DTS newspaper subscription programs
can generate additional revenue for
organizations that partner with us
while producing a much-needed boost
in paid circulation for newspapers.
Presently, DTS offers two newspaper
subscription programs:
1)
Newspaper Subscription Fundraising
Program
DTS fundraising programs award a
100% commission equal to the amount
of the newspaper subscription
payment collected at the point of
sale to participating public and
private organizations.
Members of organizations engage in
face-to-face sales, targeting their
families, friends and neighbors, so
a seller-buyer personal connection
is already established. Sellers earn
rewards and incentives based on the
number of subscriptions they sell.
The goal is to motivate every member
of an organization to sell at least
one newspaper subscription.
In addition, organizations can
utilize a DTS interface to submit
news and information about their
organization directly to their local
newspaper for publication in-paper
and/or on the newspaper’s website.
These special sections provide
another reason for community members
to subscribe to and read the
newspaper.
DTS is also developing an incentive
program to reward new subscribers
over the term of their subscription.
This program should have a positive
impact on new subscriber retention.
2)
Newspaper Subscription Combination
Offer Program
DTS combination offer programs allow
organizations to promote the
value-added inclusion of a newspaper
subscription (typically an 8-week
Sunday only subscription) as part of
the regular admission or service fee
that customers are required to pay
to gain entrance to an event or
access to a service.
Customers can choose to pay the
regular admission or service fee,
including an “opt-in” newspaper
subscription offer. Or they can
choose to pay the regular admission
or service fee.
DTS compensates the participating
organization for the promoted cost
of the newspaper subscription, plus
DTS pays the organization a
commission for each “opt-in”
newspaper subscription.

program, please e-mail us at

What we believe
Daley Technology Systems (DTS)
understands that the popularity of
the Internet as a source of news has
led to a decline in newspaper
readership nationwide, particularly
over the past decade.
Because newspapers generate most of
their revenue from display
advertising (with rates based on the
number of paid readers a newspaper
can document), the doom-and-gloom
view is that the industry cannot
survive if the number of paid
readers continues to decline.
DTS does not share that view.
Our staff has decades of experience
in the newspaper industry. We know
its ins and outs, and remain in
contact with many of our former
colleagues.
DTS believes the industry will find
its way to the future and survive.
Why we
believe
Here are some facts and figures
culled from “The State of the News
Media 2008 – An Annual Report on
American Journalism,” compiled by
the Project for Excellence in
Journalism.
- AD
REVENUE: Though
advertising revenues continued
to shrink in 2007, the industry
still generated advertising
revenue of some $49.2 billion
from print and online
operations. Print advertising
accounted for 90% of that total.
-
COVERAGE: Newspapers
cover stories that have a
greater impact on the nation and
over longer periods like the
U.S. economy, health care and
foreign news, including the war
in Iraq. This type of coverage
is not easily found in other
news genres.
-
LOCAL NEWS INVESTMENT:
Newspapers reflect and define a
community’s identity, its
interests and its aspirations.
This is an impetus for
purchasing and reading a
newspaper. Many newspapers are
considering heightened coverage
of local news as a strategic
strength.
-
PRE-TAX PROFIT: By
year-end 2007, a typical
newspaper with a 100,000
circulation still made a 15.6%
annual pre-tax profit margin.
This compares favorably with
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (5.4%) and
Exxon Mobil Corporation (17.9%).
-
READERSHIP: On an
average day, roughly 51 million
people still buy a newspaper and
124 million still read a
newspaper. Readership of
newspapers, traditionally higher
than paid circulation, may soon
be positioned as a key metric
for advertisers.
