Subject: fRoots October issue LATE COPY ALERT! Autumn already!
? Summer's over - official! But it seems some of you
didn't know that and were still on holiday! So we're giving you late returners
a couple of extra days to get in
THE OCTOBER 2015 fROOTS
Issue 388 of the only indispensable folk, roots
and world music magazine!
? FINAL LATE COPY DEADLINE - this Friday,
14th August : email - ads_at_frootsmag_dot_com
? PUBLISHED:
17th September. Reaches subscribers from around 10th September.
? Rates & Specs: frootsmag.com/content/ads
? It's time to get ready for the autumn and
promote those forthcoming CD releases, autumn tour dates and new season venue
programmes.
? Our cover feature, doing what we do best (and what our readers value)
enthuses about a wonderful left-field band - Oxford's Telling The Bees -
who really deserve to be on everybody's radar. fRoots supports grass
roots independents!
? Reflecting that long-time
support for artist-run labels and self-managed touring, we've recently
extended our cheaper ?small trader' rates to include the popular 1/4
page size. See frootsmag.com/content/ads/ads-info/
WOMEX ALERT!
? The following issue - November - will as usual have an extended print run to
put copies in every Womex delegate bag. You may like to book a series of
adverts starting this month so that you also get those Womex benefits PLUS a
series discount!
WHY?fROOTS?
? fRoots is hugely
more comprehensive than any other magazine in its field, sometimes
carrying more than double the in-depth feature content, more news, reviews and
original commissioned photography than its nearest competitor!
? fRoots has
always been truly independent. We're not owned by a publishing house who
call the shots and demand the same old ?big names' on the cover.
? 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, filter and buzz creator in
our community. You'll invariably read about it first in fRoots.
? Our maximum readership
cross-over with any other music publication is 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.
? Winners of the
Womex Award for Professional Excellence
WE HAVE THE BEST READERS!
? They consume!
Like all hard core music fans, fRoots readers are still buying
dozens of CDs a year, and lots of 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!
Most 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.
