What is standard commission pay rate for print advertising sales reps?
I have a small, free distribution, newsprint sports event (i.e., running races) calendar publication, and have been doing it all by myself since I started 9 months ago. I want to look at bringing on a sales rep to help. My prices are very low in relation to other options for advertising events in print publications. Ad prices rage from $250 - $800. There's probably not enough potential to make it a full time job for someone, so I'm considering a commission-only structure for a freelance type sales rep. I'm worried that my advertising rates aren't high enough to provide enough revenues to make it worth the time of a sales rep. If I need to raise rates in order to be able to reasonably compensate a sales rep, I worry that I'll price myself out of the market.
I'm guessing that I'd need to pay 20%-40%. What is the range of commissions that other publications pay their reps? Is a publication like this using freelance, part-time, commission only sales reps very common mode
For commission-only advertising sales reps, with a product priced like your's, it's pretty standard to pay your rep 30% for new business and 20% for renewal business. But because your advertising is so inexpensive, don't expect to get too many experienced sales professionals applying for your position. You might want to target stay-at-home moms and dads to sell your advertising. Good luck!

Aluminum Sports Bottles is the Trend in Promoting Your Business
Instead of using pens and mugs to promote their business, more and more companies are turning to other means of promotional items and now, the use of personalized aluminum sports bottles as promotional gifts is growing into the latest and most popular trends. Though pens and mugs are great promotional gear and are still used, these items are suitable for indoor events--events that are more corporate and where the use of pens and mugs are needed. Sports bottles can be used for outdoor events and cater to a larger audience since sporting events attract a larger crowd.
Aluminum sports bottles are probably the most popular around and most people prefer aluminum compared to plastic bottles. After an exhausting session, many sports enthusiasts would reach for an invigorating drink and this makes their bottles of refreshing drinks a "must have" item in their packs. Promotional aluminum sports bottles are the newest trend if you want to avoid liquid spills. Since sports bottles have become a trend, sports enthusiasts are on the look out for one that could be both useful and attractive.
Sports bottles are a huge trend for several reasons apart from their being a utility. These sports bottles are affordable to the customers or end users as well as companies who want to get personalized aluminum sports bottles. Using sports bottles as your chosen promotional items will not burn a hole in the company's advertising budget since the price of a sports bottle range from 99 cents to about $1. By utilizing affordable promotional products, the company will be able to reach out to more people thus attaining a wider and far reaching marketing campaign with a fraction of the cost.
Aluminum sports bottles are also all the rage because of their versatility. From trade shows to road shows, concerts to sports events, these bottles work great as they keep water cool, it looks great and it quenches your thirst. Sports bottles are designed to fit well into your pals, hence carrying them without slipping is not a problem at all. Some even come with slings so you can strap them to your back pack or just sling it over your wrist and can be carried anywhere and everywhere.
These custom aluminum sports bottles are also reusable and durable. Aluminum lasts longer and is more durable than plastic and if a brand or logo is imprinted on it, it can be seen very clearly and the company message will be relayed to the target audience for a long time, as long as the bottle is being used. Unlike newspaper and radio advertisements, once the newspaper is read and the radio ad is aired most people would forget the company and its message--unless of course the advertisement is a memorable one.
Custom aluminum sports bottle are perfect for promotion purposes as it gives the company a larger printable surface compared to mugs and pens. Include not only your logo but your marketing slogan, contact details and other important information on the bottle.
