WE HAVE THE BEST
READERS!
? They consume! Like all hard
core music fans, fRoots
readers are still buying dozens of CDs a year.
? 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. If you're an overseas label, you don't need a UK distributor.
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. Digital remains a useful addition but not a replacement for our
serious music addicts.
? 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, always
carrying more in-depth feature content, news, trusted 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.
? Not only do you gain all the
obvious benefits of print advertising, your much appreciated support helps
ensure the continuing existence of this major resource for our community. With
less and less mainstream media coverage for this music, fRoots remains the essential grass roots
independent folk, roots and world music guide.
