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.

Ted DeDee, CFE
Executive Director Schermerhorn Symphony Center
Nashville, Tennessee

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.
