The videos below explain what a franchisee should expect in their monthly reporting from the Towne Post Network. All receivables, payables, and shared costs are collected and paid by Towne Post throughout the month with a monthly reconciliation conducted for each territory. This reconciliation is called our Monthly Reporting, which comes with several detailed reports and a deposit to your bank account via ACH. Below is a listing of Reporting Dates by Territory each month:
15th of the month
16th of the month
17th of the month
18th of the month
This is updated monthly and shows how each of your territories is doing financially, showing you your Net Profit per month.

When other franchisees sell into your territory, they are paid a 15% commission. This spreadsheet details who was paid and for which advertisement. Commissions are paid monthly upon invoicing, not when paid.

Writers and photographers are paid by Towne Post as well, and your share of those editorial fees is detailed out in your Editorial Payments Report. If a story is shared amongst multiple publications, each magazine pays their equal share of the total cost. This applies to stories that have in previous months as well.
