Benefits

PAGE Cooperative was originally formed to save its members money and that goal still holds true today.

By joining together with other independently owned newspaper companies, PAGE Cooperative members earn significant volume based discounts and rebates on consumables, equipment, and services from over 100 PAGE Suppliers. While saving money may be the biggest advantage of PAGE, it isn’t the only one.

Other benefits include:

• A multitude of Networking opportunities with other similar members
  • Learning best practices from other newspapers
  • Asking questions from others in the industry with similar issues
• Online Information sessions such as webinars and member-only or member-supplier Forums
• Printed newsletters providing information and addressing many Cooperative and newspaper company related issues
• PAGE Symposiums and supplier sponsored educational “how-to” meetings
• Opportunities to buy/sell used equipment
• Knowledgeable Cooperative staffers who are always available to respond to technical and administrative issues/problems
• Being part of a not-for-profit, member owned newspaper and multi-media cooperative which returns any “profits” to its member-owners
  • Annual distribution of Patronage Dividends

Our Suppliers

PAGE Cooperative Suppliers offer up-front discounts to members based on purchasing agreements. Additionally, some items receive special rebates from Suppliers based on purchasing volume in a given billing period. These rebates are then disbursed to the members based on their total purchases for the item during that period.

Return On Investment

Since PAGE Cooperative is a “true” cooperative, any dollars that remain at the end of each fiscal year are returned back to the members in proportion to the purchasing through the Cooperative. This is called the Cooperative’s annual Patronage Dividend.
