Subject: fRoots' big Aug/Sept
summer double issue - copy date imminent!
Advertising in the
AUG/SEPT 2012 fROOTS
Issue 350 of the
leading folk, roots and world music magazine!
COPY DATE ALERT! Tuesday 12th June
? To book space: email - ads_at_frootsmag_dot_com
? Publication date: 19th July.
Reaches UK subscribers from around 13th July.
? This special summer double issue comes
with another of our famed compilation albums, fRoots 40, and will be on
sale at many major summer festivals including those for which we
are official media partners like WOMAD, Sidmouth, Towersey etc.
? With
venues putting more onus on artists and their labels to promote their live
dates, this is the ideal issue in which to start promoting autumn tours and
CD releases.
? We're having an English summer! For the three issues published around our 33rd
anniversary, we've been celebrating three icons of English folk, concluding
this month with a cover feature on the legendary Nic Jones, who
returns to performing this summer after many years away. But inside each issue,
of course, our continual wide world music coverage.
? This will be our 350th issue - and
every single one published on time! We're not modest: we'll let you support us
with some congratulations!
? With less and less mainstream media coverage for
this music, fRoots remains your essential grass roots folk,
roots and world music guide - more
than ever the main focal point and buzz creator in our community. You'll
invariably read about it first in fRoots.
? As the internet information overload gets ever
bigger, physical is best! Information
gathered together in print form carries more focus and clout and is kept and
re-read.

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.
