WHY?PRINT STILL MATTERS!
? Quality print magazines are enjoying a
rennaissance, the preferred tangible way to read, enjoy, assimilate and
store in-depth writing, photography and information.
? Whilst on-line advertisers are increasingly up
against Ad
blockers and fears of fraud, nobody can invent an Ad blocker for print
advertising!
WHY?fROOTS?
? With less and less
mainstream media coverage for this music, fRoots remains the
essential grass roots independent 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.
? fRoots is hugely more comprehensive than any other
magazine in its field, sometimes carrying more than double the in-depth feature
content, news, reviews and original commissioned photography than its nearest
competitor!
? 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.

? All fRoots print
magazine subscribers also have free access to the digital
editions.
? We have desktop,
laptop, iOS and Android tablet and mobile
phone versions.
? NO EXTRA COST.
