Advertising in the

OCTOBER 2012 fROOTS

Issue 352 of the  leading folk, roots and world music magazine!

 

 

FINAL DEADLINE ALERT!  Friday 17th August

 

 

 

 

? If you didn't already do so, book space now! : email - ads_at_frootsmag_dot_com


Publication date: 20th September. Reaches UK subscribers from around 14th September.

 

? Why is fRoots the readers' & opinion formers' first choice? fRoots is hugely more comprehensive than any other magazine in its field, carrying more than double the in-depth feature content, nearly 50% more news, more reviews and more original commissioned photography than its nearest competitor, comparing current equivalent issues! 

 

? With less and less mainstream media coverage for this music, fRoots remains the 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

 

? With venues putting more onus on artists and their labels to promote their live dates, this is the ideal issue in which to promote autumn tours and CD releases.

 

 

WOMEX ISSUE ALERT!

 

The following issue - copy date 11th September - is our massive annual November/December special Womex double edition, which once again will have a greatly increased print run to reach everybody attending Womex in Thessaloniki and the Association Of Festival Organisers conference in the UK - included in all delegate bags. Adverts booked into both the October and November/ December issues not only get a series discount, they also don't incur a double issue surcharge. Double win!

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.
