What are the demographics of the folks that are already coming to your dance? As I remember from when I called for the Rochester dance this summer, you already have at least some of 20-34 year old folks -- by the end of the evening we probably had at least 20 or so in that age range. At least that particular evening, the band and caller were all in that age range too. Would it help to point that out to them, and let them know that you're hoping to increase that by advertising in their publication? Jack Mitchell Durham, NC At 09:53 AM 9/20/2009, you wrote: I was a bit frustrated by a reply I received from a MetroMix editor, regarding the advertising of Rochester NY's Weekly Thursday Contra. "I received your note and wanted to tell you that we excluded your listing feeling that it's not appropriate for our target demo of 20-34." Has anyone experienced this sort of rebuff? What is the appropriate way to deal with it? The advertising is free, so the only way I can think is to get the person to a dance.
