Magazine subscription management

[pictogram]

Hi,

I searched across this website but I didn't found the exact answer to my questions.
I manage the subscriptions for a monthly based paper magazine with yearly paid subscriptions.
I'm looking for a tool that with allow me to manage online this job, taking in consideration :

• that some subscriber will renew offline and paying by check and some will renew online with CC or Paypal
• that I must export every month a listing of subscribers who should receive the magazine (for physical shipping)
• that I must export every month a listing of subscribers who should renew their subscriptions 1 month and 2 months before subscription termination
• that some subscriber are sponsored by another person. I should then be able to export a specific listing of these sponsors to inform them that their sponsored person subscription needs to be renewed

So my simple question is: Will I be able to do that with CiviCRM ? If yes, is CiviCRM already able to do that or how much tweaking is necessary to make it work as I need ??

If CiviCRM won't be able to do the job, would you be kind enough to lead me to other solutions, even paid ones ??

Thanks

CiviCRM should be able to do most of steps 1- 3 with a minimal amount of tweaking. Step 4 (sponsor) will require a fair amount of tweaking

your best bet will be to contact one of our service providers: http//civicrm.org/professional/

Thanks Lobo for your quick answer,

Could I work something out with the relationship options for the sponsor feature ?
If I associate a subscriber with someone else with a custom relationship, would I then be able to sort these sponsors/subscribers according to the subscirption date ?? Is it possible to associate more than 1 subscriber to only 1 relationship ?

I want to consider the most I can before going further.

yes, you potentially can do that. But that in turn will introduce some complications to the online payment and renewal

You can do your own sort/search by building a custom search for your needs. Yes you can have more than 1 relationship
