QSP

THE SCOOP ON PUBLISHER COUPONS!

Any magazine that includes advertising has to have its circulation verified by an auditor. In plain English, this means publishers who supply magazines insist that subscriptions be sold at "list price" and not discounted (e.g., with coupons)

Publishers might have "looked the other way" in the past, but now watch that all companies sell only at the price shown in a published catalog - no coupons allowed

Major publishers have vowed to stop doing business with any company accepting coupons. The list includes
- Time Inc. -- the biggest single supplier of magazines to QSP AND the publishers of Time, People, Sports Illustrated and 32 other magazines
- Reader's Digest/Reiman - supplier of Reader's Digest, Everyday with Rachael Ray, Taste of Home, The Family Handyman, and 12 other magazines
If another company promises to accept coupons, BEWARE! They are doing so against the magazine publishers' wishes. Your groups' subscriptions may not be honored by the publisher.

QSP constantly compares the prices in its catalogs to the prices publishers charge at newsstand, through direct mail, and through other special offers. We make sure that QSP prices are in line with what your customers will see. If they are not, we go directly to the publishers and push for change.

Do you see a substantially better price frequently offered in your community? Let us know. Because of our size and our close, long relationships with publishers, we can often convince publishers to match the offer.
