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.

• 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. All print adverts are carried in identical form in our digital editions with free web links.
