Advertising with AnythingArts.com's Newsletter is an easy and inexpensive way to reach your target audience every other week. AnythingArts.com's Newsletter arrives by email, packed full of arts news, with hot links to take readers directly to your website.

Since our debut issue in September 2005, AnythingArts.com's Newsletter has been circulated nearly half-a-million times and has grown to a subscriber base of over 4,600 and now also includes an arts-centric social website with over 1,600 individual members and another 25,000 page views per month by members and non-members. The estimated combined (subscribers and web visitors) readers of the newsletter approached 10,000 per month. Our readers refer back to AnythingArts.com's Newsletter  an average of 4 times between issues. AnythingArts.com is recognized as a go-to arts & entertainment media resource in Sarasota and Manatee counties.

Our mission is to help get the word out about, well, anything arts related. This is a labor of love and not our “jobs." Therefore, ad rates have been developed to simply pay the direct costs associated with producing AnythingArts.com. We have purposely kept the rates low to encourage repeat advertising. After all, we don’t want to spend all of our time beating the bushes for advertisers when we have issues to write and events to see!

**Advertising Hint**
We want our readers to click through to your site, and you should too. Once our readers are at your site, they can browse your site, find out more about what you do and shop! To help promote this, design your ad or poster by keeping in mind that internet users are used to "clicking for more information" - so the ad should be eye catching and inviting the reader to find out more. Contact information should be found on your site, not on the ad.* We also need a photo to accompany the story. If special credit is due, please supply the name and a website to go with it. And, please remember to send a link to your website. *FYI this is only true for web based ads. For print ads, contact information is necessary.

*Hint* Don’t see your information in the issue?
Send all releases, links and photos/artwork for local arts related events to Press@AnythingArts.com and, please, no more than month ahead of the event date.

You’d be surprised how many press releases we get and just how l...o...n...g some of them are. Really, a 2,000 word press release with details spread out in different paragraphs is too much to read when reading dozens of them.

So, in order to help you press release submitters, and to help us keep our sanity, AnythingArts.com Newsletter has a suggestion on increasing your chances for inclusion in upcoming issues. All you have to do is to submit your information in a form that we can simply cut-and-paste. That means submitting the information in a single paragraph that contains the who, what, where, when, why and how much. After the story, not in it, include any web addresses the story should be linked to and a .jpg photo. If we can use the story as is, we will. We may edit it to take out ultra-superlatives and such, but we will make sure you get in if you help us in this way.**

If you are submitting press releases... take a minute and look at our layout and what our event stories look like. That’s what we need.

To further increase your visibility, visit AnythingArts.com and enter your event on our events calendar too.

We look forward to hearing from you. ;)

** Though we will attempt to include every story submitted, we reserve the right to not include things that are too far a departure from “arts." We also concentrate on events and we don’t simply report the news. Lastly, to keep the issues from looking the same every time, we will not run recurring events in every issue nor will post things too far in advance.
