WHY ADVERTISING WORKS ON A4D
"Answers4dancers attracts an audience of dancers, choreographers, students, and teachers," says founder Grover Dale. "Most arrive in search of something they need. 95% of the time, the need is career-related. Where’s my next job opportunity? How should I present myself at auditions? What can I do to show the choreographer I'm the right dancer for the job? "Surveys reveal," adds Dale, "that members and visitors arrive ready to take action. Is there a better environment for advertisers?"
If a demographic of career-driven 14-26 year-olds (85% female) is right for your products or services, a call to our Ad Rep Mark Schneider (310-271-1921) may be in your best interests.
