Do you find that the
use of an outside vendor for program production is helpful?

Allowing our users to do
their own programs makes them happy campers, and that’s not a bad thing!

We feel it’s beneficial to produce our program in-house and sell our own
ads. It’s pretty much a break-even process.

Yes, especially to minimize additional staff resources required to sell
to advertisers, which will be an 80+ page, four-color magazine- style
program with all events for the month included. Vendor keeps all
advertising revenue and produces programs. Editorial (for all the
events) takes 50 to 65 percent of the space, and the remaining space is
sold to advertisers. Event sponsors do not automatically get free space
in the program magazine as a sponsor benefit; they have to buy it
separately.

I’m sure it would be
beneficial if we were producing programs on a weekly basis. However, we
only produce 10 playbills a season, and we’re able to handle this
comfortably in-house.
