A New Year's Resolution - Support the KD Magazine Agency
Happy New Year!
Resolve to make this the best year yet. Purchase/renew magazines that will help you reach your goals...
Buying Magazines is Easy!
Buying magazines has never been easier or more fun!! Lisa Duke, Richardson/Plano, Texas, alumnae chapter member, tells her success story:
"I just placed my first magazine order over the net. That was really easy to do! I wish everyone else would realize how easy it is. Mike wanted the Southwest Art magazine subscription, and he brought me home one of the cards. It was 12 months for $32. I told him I wanted to order it through KD. He said, 'but it's only $32 here.' I told him 'but it's only $27 through KD.' He was impressed."
For most alumnae, magazine ordering has changed greatly from when they were in a collegiate chapter and has become easy and efficient and most of all, reliable. QSP has created a SHORT video that shows just how easy this is. To view click here.
Give it a try today—you will be pleasantly surprised! And if you renew a subscription, you could be eligible to win a $500 cash prize. See below for details.
RENEW, RENEW, RENEW--Wouldn't you rather have your money go to Kappa Delta?
This year the focus in the magazine agency is going to be renewals. When you renew your existing subscription through the Kappa Delta Magazine Agency, nearly 50 percent of the proceeds of your subscription money goes to the chapter house fund. If you renew directly with the publisher, all of the money goes to the publisher, and Kappa Delta gets none of it. If you are paying the same amount of money either way, wouldn't you rather have your money go to help Kappa Delta?
Studies show that the average household spends $200 per year on magazine subscriptions. If every KD alumna renewed her subscriptions through the Kappa Delta Magazine Agency, it would help Kappa Delta immensely.
Important point: You did not have to purchase the initial subscription through the Kappa Delta Magazine Agency in order to renew through the Kappa Delta Magazine Agency.
QSP has a wide selection of magazines. They have more than 750 magazine, book and music titles to choose from and it accepts Master Card and VISA. Because QSP is the largest publisher clearinghouse in the United States, it can offer more choices and lower prices than any other vendor.

JUST ANNOUNCED—RENEWAL CONTEST
Last year, the 2008-2009 magazine campaign resulted in 6,152 renewals. This is great, but we can do better. We have set a goal to increase that amount by 500. So, here is where the contest comes in...
If the Kappa Delta Magazine Agency hits the magic number of 6,652 renewals or above during the 2009-2010 campaign, each KD renewing subscriptions herself or selling a renewal will have her name entered into a drawing to win a $500 cash prize!!! The prize will be distributed as follows: $50 to the lucky KD and $450 to her KD group of choice — collegiate or alumnae chapter or the Kappa Delta Foundation. Each renewal will receive one entry, so multiple renewals increase your chances of winning!
The important part is that we must reach our goal of 500 additional renewals or more in order to trigger the contest and the $500 prize. So...renew, renew, renew...it's easy to do!
Sales tip: Are you a doctor? Married to a doctor? Family member a doctor? Neighbor a doctor? Go to a doctor? Doctor’s offices (and other health professionals) are great sources of sales and renewals as we all peruse their magazines in the waiting room. What about hair/beauty salons? Same thing...they are great sources of sales/renewals.
Any professional who has a waiting room is a great person to approach about renewing subscriptions through the magazine agency. Then, once they see how easy it is to do, you can just give them a reminder each year to renew.
