Jazz Blues Florida FYI/FAQ #1
March 9, 2020
TOPIC: Music Business Management and Operations
Providing Free Services
Question:
“Why isn’t my/that show in your listings at www.JazzBluesFlorida.com/listings?”
Response:
Jazz & Blues Florida is 100% paid content based, and
that is one of the ways we are able to stay in business. For many years (this
is our 14th year of providing promotion services) we devoted countless hours to
trying to be inclusive as possible for all genre related shows. And, it simply
didn’t provide a return, other than higher readership that came from artists
and agents using the listings to target their booking pitches. And, receiving
criticism from those we missed didn’t help us in thinking we were doing the
right thing. So, enough of that and we only provide the listing (and
distribution thereof) to clients that support what we do. And, it is not a good
business practice to use the resources provided by clients to fund promotion of
those who are not clients.
Also, we have found that the ‘natural order’ of musician and
venue success is those that believe in themselves enough to invest in promotion
are the ones that are most likely to succeed. It is important to note here that
the Premium Listing Service we offer to venues and artists at $10 per month is
only a la carte service we offer, and it has ALWAYS been the least utilized
service we offer.
