Florida's Source of Information on Live Jazz & Blues Continues Rapid Expansion



Florida
January 25, 2013

Jazz & Blues Florida, Florida's online guide to live jazz & blues in clubs, concerts and festivals, reports today that their internet presence continues its rapid climb in all areas of its platform components. With combined impressions now exceeding 3,000,000 annually with world-wide distribution, Jazz & Blues Florida has established itself as the central and most popular source of information on this niche entertainment market in Florida.

"This month has been outstanding in all aspects of our business. Not only is the January edition of Jazz & Blues Florida the first edition of our fifth year of being totally online, but record high levels of internet activity and traffic have been reached in all areas of our promotion placements, and a record amount of new and continuing business has been generated to match this growth," reflected Charlie Boyer, owner and publisher.

Jazz & Blues Florida's main site, www.JazzBluesFlorida.com, exceeded a quarter-million banner views and reached over 16,000 page views in the trailing month. The associated news blog, jazz-bluesflorida.blogspot.com , exceeded 11,000 page views in the trailing month and now numbers over 165,000 lifetime views. Almost 5,000 Facebook members with similar interests in live jazz and blues music are reached through their presence in that social media platform and an additional 6,600+ contacts are reached directly by email through a continually developing permission/subscription based data base.  Youtube views of their on-site clips taken over the years have now surpassed 47,000.

As is their standard practice, Jazz & Blues Florida posts detailed reports generated by third-party analytic programs to their website for public inspection to verify the numbers they report. The report can be seen at:  www.JazzBluesFlorida.com/Reports 

Jazz & Blues Florida extends a heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to every customer and every user that has brought the scene in Florida to this level of awareness.

Charlie-
….Blues bands, fans and venues are alive and kicking in Florida.  I wouldn't say all is well but it is better than it has been the last few years. No one is getting rich but jazz and blues are live from Key West to Pensacola.  JBF has been a big part of that and I thank you for all you do.
Keep up the good stuff!

Peace, brother.

Good morning my friend nice speaking with you while at NOLA Jazz Fest .. Just a quick note .. As I told you Footsteps my non-profit is doing a Jazz Concert featuring Ira Sullivan . I have worked with an awesome man Charlie Boyer from JazzBlues Fl who has helped us promote our event.. works all over the country .. The reason I want to intro you two is I have had awesome results with his help and major professional, quick , affordable and easy . So awesome that I started receiving phone calls within 30 minutes of his emails.. even the local Newspaper her picked up on it and contacted him for more info..
Anyway my friend regardless think you two may have lots in common.. as he said when I asked if her knew you ..
Jazz Blues Florida started out as Hot House Florida, a child of Hot House New York, the jazz bible up there.

Charlie,
Met you once at a Four Freshman concert in Ft. Lauderdale.  You were still publishing Heat Beat (Hot House) as I recall.  Just want to thank you for putting this online and for helping me keep up with the South Florida musicians since I don't get there much anymore even though I still have an apartment in Miami.  And though I never expected it, your addition of jazz news from all of Florida will allow me to visit a Panama City Beach jazz night this month--we have 4 timeshare weeks in PCB but rarely heard about jazz venues or festivals for last few years.  We live in San Antonio, TX where we have 5 big bands playing straight ahead jazz every month and we have a full time jazz radio station.  Aren't we lucky!
Thank you again.
N Terry
