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.

? We have desktop, laptop, iOS and Android tablet and mobile phone versions.
