Appealing to a broad demographic of subscribers, Broomfield, Colorado-based Mountain View Publishers produces top-rated entertainment and sweepstakes-focused publications and lists prize and contest information worth more than a quarter of million dollars every month. In early 2019, Mountain View Publishers’ popular entertainment magazine Jackpot Journal was granted periodical privileges by the U.S. Postal Service. This status is only awarded to publications that meet very stringent criteria.
Magazine publishers who obtain periodical privileges can save on their postage costs. However, maintaining this status depends on consistently meeting the standards set by the USPS. For example, advertisements cannot compose more than 75 percent of a single issue.
Publications should also be printed at least four times a year, and at least 50 percent of issues circulated must be delivered to paid subscribers. Publishers are also required to submit an annual form to the USPS and keep a record of all documentation that demonstrates the magazine has adhered to all requirements.
