Cash Monies!

By timXP | Published: May 4, 2010
To make this project work, and get 500 full colour 12 page newspapers it was going to cost us £500 and, obviously, we don't have that kind of money kicking around so we had to get it another way. We decided the best way to raise the money we needed was to sell advertising space in the magazine. We asked several Universities if they wanted to put an advert in the paper, as it would be a good place to advertise given that it would be distributed to students. We also asked the Junction because we know them and have worked with them before, and Simon had some left-over cash, and could use the advertising.

Our total outgoings were £511.40:

500 newspapers - £500
P&P - £11.40

Our total income came to about £655 due to adverts and sales.

The Junction gave us £350 for advertising space
Lincoln University gave us £100 for advertising space
OCR gave us £100 for advertising space

This alone came to £550 so we were already £50 in profit. Score!

Gurnsey Grammar School bought 20 copies for £10
Reigate School bought 120 copies for £60
Islington bought 40 copies for £20
Netherhall bought 30 copies for £15

This is about £1o5 so we are now £155 ahead!

We kept about 50 so we could have one each, moderaters and stuff needed them etc.

We still have 260 copies to sell, and Jenny is advertising it on OCR teachers week this week so we should be able to make some more cash!

This is how the MediaMe accounts look so far...
Outgoings

500 copies from newspaperclub £500 inc VAT
postage for first three orders £11.40

Income

advert Junction £350
advert Lincoln £100
advert OCR £100

Guernsey 20 copies £10
Reigate 120 copies £60
Islington 40 copies £20
Netherhall 30 copies £15

free samples and copies for group members, moderator etc (50 copies - £25 off profit)

still to sell 240 copies

With all of this information taken into account, we have already made £115 profit and still have 240 papers to sell, i am very confident that we will sell these copies with in the next week. 240 copies will be a further £120 making our total profit about £220 once postage has been taken off.

I am very impressed with myself and Alex for securing the adverts and making so much money on this project. This was the first time we have ever done anything like this and it has gone very successfully. At the start we were told that the printing was going to cost £500 and that we had to find a way of paying for it ALL our selves. we thought this was going to be hugely difficult but it has turned out really well.

Initial reaction is that we can't wait to use it in the classroom -
could be a few more bigger images in there...
We'll use it with students next week (weds) and email you some more

Feedback for the Newspaper

By Philippa Extended Project | Published: May 4, 2010
Mary Berrisford from Islington Sixth Form replied with this message when we were asking 
for feedback from the newspaper;

“We've just put the underground
map on the wall and are fighting about who is on the coolest line
(that's teachers not students by the way!)

feedback”

Jenny Grahame from Media Magazine gave us this message when supplying us with some
feedback for the newspaper;

“MediaMe looks great.  Works really well with the colour, etc. Mega
achievement.”

Brian Mulligan from Reigate Sixth Form 

"- Good on section 1
- Methodical systematic and detailed
- Very concise to the point
- Very clearly expressed
- Wordsearch page blurry
- Wikipedia game Already played by lots of class good  -article- less obviously useful 
than others
- Useful - better than a textbook
- Great format
- Tube map great
- Format handy
- Teacher prefers online to print -students like print far more
- Layout really good
- Is point about TV  not needing a licence true?"


For 500 copies of the newspaper - £500 which inc VAT and postage for first three orders 
would be £11.40.

Our overall income from the newspaper;

advert Junction £350
advert Lincoln £100
advert OCR £100

Reigate sixth form - 120 copies - £60
Islington sixth form - 40 copies - £20
Netherhall sixth form - 30 copies - £15
Guernsey Grammar - 20 copies - £10
Total income so far = £655

free samples and copies for group members, moderator - 50

240 copies of the newspaper still to need to be sold.

It will cost us £511.40 to pay for newspaper in total and so far we have made £655 so we are 
already in profit and we have still got 240 copies of the newspaper to sell.
