Street Pulse is a non-profit organization that works to identify and address homelessness and social issues by empowering marginalized voices; providing direct, concrete avenues through which homeless and low income individuals can help themselves and promoting communication and awareness throughout the Madison community. Much of this work is achieved through the publication and sales of Street Pulse Newspaper. Homeless people themselves contribute many of the articles, stories, editorials, art and poetry. The paper is distributed on the streets by homeless vendors, who keep 75% of the sale price ($1.00). The opportunity to sell a quality paper allows our vendors to gain valuable self-worth as it offers them not only easy employment, but also a chance to function as a part of the Madison community in a positive manner. As the organization expands Street Pulse hopes to improve organizational efficiency and streamline our financial development through fund-raising, thus allowing us to better serve the community and offer broader opportunities to our clients.
Advertising is a crucial source of income for Street Pulse. We are looking for a motivated and outgoing volunteer to focus on cultivating and expanding our commercial advertisers (primarily small businesses). The Advertising Sales Coordinator will create and implement ad sales protocol. This is a part-time position, and the volunteer will be required to work off-site; phone, internet and office space will not be provided by Street Pulse.
This role covers the entire gamut of sales, including account management. More specifically, your activities will include:
