“How much” is a common discussion between the PAGE Cooperative and our current members, and prospective members. In many cases, it pertains to quantities of the critical newspaper materials that the PAGE Cooperative facilitates and is important for forecasting.
However, the more frequently asked question the PAGE Cooperative receives is “how much can my company save” by purchasing through PAGE?
Cost savings discussions are the most satisfying part of my day-to-day role as PAGE CEO, because I know that the savings we can deliver go straight to the bottom line of our members and prospective members. These savings can add human capital resources to reporting, editorial and advertising as our industry continues to adapt and change to the times.
Another question is “How much time is it going to take to calculate these savings?” This question is easy to answer, as our process is very straightforward.
The PAGE team will schedule a 15-minute call to examine your current suppliers and volumes to calculate your savings as well as dividend and equity for your purchases.
What is required prior to, or following this 15-minute call are your current quantities, costs and specifications of the products you currently order from PAGE partners. Your PAGE Membership also accrues the purchasing value from your orders which is returned as a dividend and increased equity at the end of the year. The more you spend, the greater the dividend.
PAGE partner/suppliers (now numbering more than 70 companies) are anxious to support our membership with optimal pricing which delivers these savings. It is easy to confirm that your current supplier is a partner with PAGE as we have digitized our six-page partner directory, which is readable on your phone, your desktop or laptop. This link can be accessed by anyone in your organization.
If you send them this link, they can check this list of suppliers and see if you can grow your dividend check and equity today. https://pageone.smedia.com.au/partnerdirectory/
You can sign up for your 15 minutes and we will email you a brief questionnaire to complete that will help us prepare for the call. Here is the link to sign up — calendly.com/savewithpage/15min
Publishers who are not currently members can use the same calendar invite and partner directory to take a fresh look at the significant savings that buying through the PAGE Cooperative brings.
