Q: How can I get more information about DTS newspaper programs?
A: Complete the Contact Us form and submit it. One of our program specialists will call you to set up your organization account and answer any questions you might have about fundraising or combination sales programs.
Q: Do I have to input subscription orders that my members sell?
A: That will depend on the size and/or complexity of your fundraising or sales program. Your group’s program administrator may have to handle subscription order input on the personalized website that DTS creates for your group. Your administrator can assign other people in the organization for "data entry" (order input), but each assigned user in your organization must have a username and password to log on to your personalized website.
If it is decided that DTS will input your group or organization’s subscription orders, your group must deliver all subscription order forms and check payments to the DTS office in Covina, CA (see address below) on a periodic basis
Q: Are there any costs to these newspaper subscription programs?
A: Absolutely not. These programs are free to public and private organizations.
Q: When should I run a program and is there a specific time frame?
A: You can start either program at any time. We recommend implementing a program at least twice a year, based on your revenue needs. A fundraising program that runs longer than four weeks might not be able to sustain interest among your members who will be selling newspapers.
Q. What is a valid newspaper order?
A. Newspaper subscription orders must run for a minimum of 28 days before they are considered valid orders and before your group or organization can earn its commission. Also, all new subscription orders must be prepaid by check or credit card. We discourage the handling of cash. If a customer insists on paying cash for a new subscription, please note that on the order form.
Q: Where do we obtain order forms for either program?
A: The DTS management team will provide you with all the sales material you need to start either program, including order forms. Once your organization is set up, anyone can print order forms, instructions and sales sheets from your personalized website.
Q. After input, where do we submit new orders and the payments?
A. For fundraising programs, input the subscription orders onto your personalized website as soon as possible. Then deliver (or send) new orders, along with accompanying check payments to the address below.

Attn: Newspaper Subscription Fundraising Program
912 E. Puente Ave.
Covina, CA 91724
For combination sales offer programs, DTS will make arrangements with each participating organization to expedite order processing
Q: Should members of my group go door-to-door to sell?
A: For safety’s sake we advise against your group members selling door-to-door. The fundraising program can be more successful if there’s a “relationship” between the seller and the buyer. Your group members should target family members, relatives, friends and neighbors in their newspaper subscription sales efforts.
Q: Can group members who sell newspapers in the fundraising program earn rewards?
A: Yes. We have an incentives program in place that rewards your members, based on the number of valid newspaper subscriptions they sell during your program. When your members qualify to earn incentives – after a new subscription runs at least 28 days -- they will receive an email that directs them to our incentives website, where they can select the incentive(s) they want to receive. Fulfillment of incentives may take four to six weeks after the promotion ends.
Q: How much commission will my group receive for each new valid newspaper subscription sold during either program
A: For fundraising programs, your group receives a 100% commission equal to the subscription payment collected at the point of sale for each new valid newspaper order. Please do not divulge your commission rate to customers, as Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) guidelines prohibit this. ABC does not want the generous commission to be the main reason (or inducement) a person subscribes to the newspaper. A subscription order should be sold solely on the merit of the product. The program’s objective is to sell newspaper subscriptions to customers who not only want to help your organization, but who also want to read a newspaper.
For combination sales programs, the commission paid to an organization for each valid new order is at the discretion of DTS.
