Concert promoters, publishers, tour operators and suppliers of other relevant services and products use our Direct Mailing Service as a way to get their message to our audience of music makers and lovers.
How it works
Simply download and complete the order form, return it to us with a cheque and a sample of your mailing piece, and we will provide you with address labels for the mailing you wish to send (please note that we must see a sample mailing before we send you the labels).
The address details provided will be those of our members who have opted in to receive selected, relevant third-party marketing communications.
