"Bringing
Art To Its Audience"

After thirty years in the entertainment business, I know that the biggest
expense an artist or entertainer incurs, after their training and education, is marketing and self-promotion.
Over the years, I have tried various types of marketing only to be disappointed again
and again. The return on my time and the money spent, was often, as most of you know, beneath expectations.
I felt that there had to be a better, more affordable way to reach prospective clients but unfortunately, I never
found it.
In later years when I turned to producing, I came up against another side
of this problem: Difficulty locating unique, engaging and talented entertainers for my shows. I knew the
performers were out there, but apparently they couldn't afford to reach my production company, the same way,
that in years past, I couldn't afford to reach all the producers, planners and booking agents responsible
for hiring talent.
I wanted to put together a directory that would give artists and entertainers
maximum exposure for minimum cost. I set out to design a publication in which the annual listing fee
would not be wasted if the entertainer received just one booking.
Today, thanks to the suggestions and guidance of hundreds of professional
performers, we have grown to serve artists and entertainers in eight states with ten more states to be added in
the coming year.
We hope that you will join us in this innovative new approach to marketing
and promotion in the entertainment and special events fields.
