2008-2009 Season Playbill Advertising

Our patrons make up one of the largest premium target groups in our region. 

According to research, this group has:

 

  • Higher education and income levels than the average consumer
  • Twice the tendency as the average consumer to travel and dine out
  • More discretionary income to spend on cars, housing and luxury items
  • More free time than the average consumer for shopping, entertainment and recreation
  • Extremely high interest in financial products such as stocks bonds, mutual funds, insurance, etc.

    

Advertiser Benefits:

  • When you place an ad in our season playbills, your ad receives high visibility. Over 35,000 playbills are distributed to our audience members througout the season, and attendees typically take home their playbills, which expands uncontrolled circulation exponentially.  In addition, special performances are added throughout the season at no extra charge to our advertisers.  Performances that are added translate into an increase in your ad distribution above the original amount scheduled and means that advertisers will receive a substantial amount of FREE advertising.
  • Our patrons come from 6 states.  The Center regularly draws people from a 150-200 mile radius in Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Indiana, and Arkansas (more than 25% come from outside Kentucky).
  • Our shows are diverse, so our audience is diverse - that means your ad will target decision-makers at all levels. Your ad will also target people interested in broadening their horizons, in trying new things, and who will be likely to try new products and services. This is your opportunity to make sure the service or product they try is YOURS.
  • We offer a convenient monthly payment plan upon receipt of your contract and deposit amount.  Both deposit and balance payments may be made in the form of check or credit card.  You may share ad space with another business, a parent company or a supplier. (known as a “co-op ad”)  Please keep in mind that the deposit you pay to reserve your ad space is applied toward the total ad price.
  • Place your ad early and get last season's published prices.  Send in your contract and deposit by Tuesday, July 1, 2008. (Prices will increase after July 1).
