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 in-depth feature content, news 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.
• 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.
