Send Holiday Shout Outs To Your Favorite Folks!

 

Hey, are you looking for a unique and economical Christmas gift for those special music fans on your list?  Would you like to help us keep helping  to support the local music scene? 

Yeah, I thought so! 

Well, it IS that time of year once again.  We at Midwest BEAT Magazine will soon be assembling our December/January double holiday issue and will once again be dedicating our center pages to your personalized holiday greetings.    

You can share your personal holiday message with the entire Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana music community by purchasing a 2” x 2” FULL COLOR square.  Space on these color pages is limited and the cost is a measly $25 per square. 

This is a perfect way to for bands to give a shout out to the many fans that support them year ‘round.  It’s a nice way to remind our readers of new local CDs, t-shirts and other merchandise your band may have ready for holiday gift-giving as well. 

It’s also a great way for fans to let their fave artists know that they are #1 with them as well.  Parents can give props to their kids and vice versa. 

Night clubs!  Music retailers!  This is a thoughtful way to give a public “thank you” to your patrons, customers and to your employees as well. 

If you want to give a bigger shout out, than just add more squares (greeting size in this section is limited to four squares) and make your message jump off the page.    

By placing a Holiday Square (or multiple squares) in our pages next month, you help us to fund our annual “Midwest BEAT Reader’s Poll Awards.”    

As you know, every March, our publication hosts a special “Awards Bash” where the artists you –– the readers –– chose as your favorites are honored and recognized.    

Presenting these annual awards at this event gets more and more costly with every passing year [call it inflation and additional categories added with each ballot], but we feel it is very important to publically recognize the wonderful music and the musicians that rock our region.

While on the subject of this, bands and fans should keep in mind that the year-end “Reader’s Poll Voting Ballots” will also appear in our December/January issue.  Savvy bands and fans can use their greeting squares to do a little tasteful “campaigning for votes,” along with sending out their personal holiday regards. 

DEADLINE... for sending in your “Holiday Greeting Square” copy and color artwork is November 23...so get busy!   No squares will be sold after Nov. 22. 

Remember folks... if you want your ad in full color, you MUST supply us your color logo or your color photo. 

If you just want a text message, we can place your text in color ink or illustrate it with a piece of holiday art.  Payment for your square must be sent in with your ad copy and/or artwork. 

Send all your stuff by November 23 to:  “HOLIDAY BEAT GREETINGS!”  c/o Midwest BEAT Magazine,  2613 41st Street, Highland, IN  46322
