Theater Special Alert - Week of May 5, 2008 - StageMagazineOnline.com

Friends,

1. Next Season's Theater Subscription Marketing In Full Swing?!

I've noticed that several theaters are announcing next season during their final production of the 2007 - 2008 season, even before they have their marketing materials in the hands of their strongest supporters.

Some are even offering "better than early-bird" specials to get people to sign up during intermission.

So… have you:

- Contacted your present subscribers and strongest supporters about next season?
- Listed next season here on StageMagazineOnline.com?
- Found a way to "touch" your audience at the final performance of THIS season? Afterall, they are IN your building and know how to get to you - don't let this opportunity pass by!

2) Ritz Theatre Company Presents: Video of Cheaper By The Dozen!

Following on their earlier use of video to announce the transformation of Bruce Curless for their production of The Importance of Being Ernest, The Ritz Theatre Company in Haddon Township, NJ is again using video to market their production. You can see it here:

3) Facebook - You know that I strongly support Social Marketing?!

StageMagazineOnline.com has its own Facebook Page and will be expanding on social networks over the coming months.

The Players Club of Swarthmore has just started a Group on Facebook. You may join it here:

4) Spotlight on Actors OFF The Stage: Amy Lewis!

Many people know Amy for her witty and charming reviews here on StageMagazineOnline.com. She has submitted more reviews than any other single person and we often receive requests from theaters that she be the one to review their latest production.

Well… did you know that Amy was in Rocky Balboa, the latest in the long history of Sylvester Stalone movies?

In a new series started by our Member Advocate, Kate Winward, you can read all about Amy's adventure in our new series: Spotlight On Actors OFF The Stage:
