I just had the April issue of SACnews printed this afternoon and it will go out
in tomorrow's mail. Using the latest database from Charlie, we print a total of
33 copies each month. Of the total, 22 are complimantary and 11 are mailed to
paying members.
The postage costs for the member's newsletters: $4.51 monthly; $54.12 annually.
The postage costs for the complimentary copies: $9.02 monthly; $108.24 annually.
The printing costs are donated, but represent an expense of about $20 annually
per copy.
This translates to an expense of $220 annually for members and $440 annually
for the complimentary issues.
Add in the postage and it's about $275 annually for the member's newsletters
and $550 for the comps. Assuming we have a membership totaling 100, this
represents roughly 9% and 19% of our annual income respectively - more than a
quarter of the budget.
My question here is why we print and mail any complimentary copies. Wouldn't
emailing the link to the current issue be sufficient? I can think of better
uses for this money.
Any comments?
Peter
