Discount Magazine Publications

How and where to sell magazine subscriptions?

At our school we are trying to raise money for our trip to go to camp for a week. We are doing a fundraiser where we sell magazine subscriptions. How should I sell them and where? Please no outrageous answers! I will be going door to door, but with someone. So I will be safe.

1. Selling magazines is tough, but it can be good experience for you. Try to be creative in your selling approach and offer things that people want and need, rather than what you want. Even though people will be nice if you tell them that your school is raising money for a trip, they really couldn't care less. But, if you see somebody working on a nice flower garden and offer them some ideas to keep their garden looking great with less work, and then offer them "House and Garden" magazine at a discount ... you're likely to get their interest and will be much more likely to make sales. Be observant, look for clues as to what their interests and needs are and approach them from that point of view. Once you "sell yourself" to the people it will be easier to have a conversation that will help you discover which magazines you have that will be of interest to them.
