Subject: fRoots May issue - copy
date imminent!
Advertising in the
MAY 2012 fROOTS
Issue 347 of the
leading folk, roots and world music magazine!
COPY DATE ALERT: Tuesday 13th March
? To book space: email - ads_at_frootsmag_dot_com
? Publication date: 19th April.
Reaches UK subscribers from around 14th April.
? On the cover,
award winning English folk singer, activist and man-about-town Sam Lee.
? Festivals! Our
giant festival issue, about to post to subscribers, is our biggest for many
years, showing the continuing buoyancy of the scene in spite of the economic
climate. Continue keeping your event in the forefront of peoples' minds in the
lead up to this year's season.
? Labels! Artists! The BBC and mainstream press are cutting
back even more on folk, roots and world music coverage. fRoots is more
than ever the main focal point and buzz creator in our community.
? Physical is best! Information in print form carries more
clout and is kept and re-read.
? For rates, technical specs and stats see: http://www.frootsmag.com/content/ads/ads-info/
FACTS FROM OUR LATEST
READERSHIP SURVEY
? They consume! Like all hard core
music fans, fRoots readers are still buying an average of 42 CDs a year,
and they're buying nearly 120 paid-for downloads on top of that.
? They respond! 95% of fRoots
readers buy CDs and 72% go to live events as a result of reading about them in fRoots.
? They're everywhere! 70% do their
main buying online, and 40% are outside the UK. There are no barriers to
directly reaching them from and to everywhere! If you're an overseas label, you
don't need a UK distributor.
? We've got them! The maximum
readership cross-over with any other music publication is still only
29%. With fRoots you reach the long-term committed folk, roots and world
music audience and opinion-formers that no other magazine gets to.
THE DIGITAL EDITION
? More digital subscribers than UK Vogue
(according to UK Press Gazette figures)!
? No extra cost. All adverts are carried in
identical form in our digital edition with free web links.
