THE CONCEPT THAT WORKS

At Take-A-Break, our goal is to be the most read and popular weekly community publication while providing a low cost and effective medium for advertisers to reach their specific targeted community markets. As a Take-A-Break licensee, you will be generating ongoing weekly revenue by booking advertising in each issue. Depending on the quality of your Take-A-Break publication, your production costs and the advertising fees you charge, a Take-A-Break Licensee can see a Return on Investment within 3 to 6 months with a consistent positive cash flow thereafter. Also - depending on the number of licenses and territories an associate may own, the amount of weekly revenue generated can be substantial. The key to success is your initial leg work and drive to establish Take-A-Break in your community by maximizing advertising efforts and distribution points, and in establishing the distribution network complemented with effective advertising costs, maintaining the quality of the newsletter, retaining a loyal readership and promoting the benefits of targeting specific markets within the immediate community. Advertisers can elect to advertise in full color editions or black ink editions depending upon their budgets.
