The PennySaver also operated in Rochester, NY, as far back as the 1960s or 1970s.
There were and still are publications like Penny Saver all over the place and they do and can be money makers. But what’s killing them is not so much the cost of print production but the costs involved in distribution.
The most sucessfull are free, do include news and reading matter of a local nature in them.
Many rely on leaving free copies at local small businesses in the area they are concentrated in, rather than use the USPS. But if you look around anywhere you reside. Be it a neighborhood in a major metro population center or a rural area. What your seeing are closed shops and for rent signs.
In addition the high cost of distribution passed on by the USPS for saturation house to house delivery added to their costs . Even those that set up their own saturation delivery systems have had difficulty dealing with passing on those unpredictable variable costs . That federal protection prohibiting “dumping” onto a local mailbox doesn’t help either .
