Network participants to receive dividend checks
With the close of the 2006 MPS fiscal year now behind us, member newspapers participating in the Mississippi Classified Advertising Network (MCAN) and Mississippi Display Advertising Network (MDAN) will soon be receiving their dividend payments.
Checks should be mailed by the middle of October.
Staff members have been reviewing final affidavits and calculating dividends this week following the close of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.
Through MPS, member papers in MCAN/MDAN are paid annual dividends based on money in the network pool that builds through the year.
Members also can earn substantial commissions and bonuses by actually selling ads into the networks. In some cases, one or two network sales per month can equal or improve upon more labor-intensive local promotions and special sections.
For more information on the networks, contact coordinator Linda Caldwell, lcaldwell@mspress.org; to inquire about network sales training for your ad staff, contact marketing executive Sue Sessums, ssessums@mspress.org. Or call the MPS office directly at 601-981-3060.
