Major cities in the States have newspapers and magazines that constantly dedicate some of its pages to advertise concerts and write critic reviews to performing artists. In Florida the music section of the weekend arts-and-entertainment supplements are devoted to rock, blues, and sometimes jazz. Hence, we have created an Email Reminder Notification Service to notify interested concertgoers about classical music, jazz, theater & dance performances taking place around Florida. We are committed to enhance and nurture the appreciation of The Arts in the South, Central and North Florida communities.
Recent studies have shown that HTML email gives better response rates than text email. Catchy graphics, attractive formatting, varied text style (color, size and font), and other factors make such messages appealing to the eyes. In today's world, less than 1% of email users are unable to read HTML emails.
Our list from the Central Florida community currently includes more than 2000 emails, and keeps growing everyday. The list includes contact emails from educated, sophisticated and high-income financially secure families, connoisseurs of the arts, students, teachers, artists, music critics, media, and concertgoers who are subscribed with us. Note: On these email reminders, individual names will never be exposed and the e-mail list will be 'invisible', never to be published, sold or exchanged.
Is there any discount for concert series events and/or non-profit organizations?
Yes, non-profit organizations with annual operating budgets of $150,000 or less are eligible for a small discount, concert series within a season will also get a special contract price to advertise with us. Please contact us for more information.
What is an omnibus/seasonal flyer?
It is a single flyer announcing all or several events of an organization usually within a season. They can be posted and e-blasted to our mailing list, but most customers have found very effective to display the flyer on our website for the whole season and e-blast individual flyers from all their events.
What if I do not have a flyer but I still want to advertise my concert?
We can create for you a professional-looking flyer for a very low competitive price. Please visit our Advertising section for more information.
What are the specs for the flyer? Can I post it myself?
You can post a flyer by yourself. If you do, then make sure the document is in JPEG format, the recommended width should be 700 px wide, and the document should not be larger than 280 KB. If you prefer to email the flyer to us, any size (larger the better) or format will be ok, however it is recommended to send PDF or JPEG documents.
Is it required to pay online? Do you accept checks?
It is not required to pay online, unless you are posting your flyer on our website by yourself: You will need to register and then log in. Website login software provides protection for you on the Internet. Our Website accepts payments using PayPal, which is secure and uses state-of-the-art fraud prevention.

Our list includes hundreds of media contacts that will be notified, at your request, by email and social media. We are aware of how beneficial a good review could have an effect on developing a performing career, especially to young artists. We understand that newspaper coverage for the performing arts is rapidly disappearing. We are committed to inform and bring art/music critics, when available, about your event. Go to the Advertising section of our website to get more information.
Will I certainly get media coverage using your media relation service?
Dealing with the media presents unique challenges in that the news media cannot be controlled — they have ultimate control over whether events pitched to them are of interest to their audiences.
Your concert will be webcast through the Internet, so anybody in the world can listen to your performance. The Internet address will be given to you in advance so you can inform your family, friends or advertise it on your website.
Banners are located by area, South, Central and North Florida Calendars. Your banner will only be displayed in the area of the State where you are advertising. We do have, however, an option to make banners visible in two or all three calendars if that is your wish.
