Why Advertise Here?

"That's my favorite show! I wish I'd know they were putting it on, I would have auditioned, or at least bought a ticket! - from the posting boards

Since its start in January 2010, Backstage Utah has experienced rapid growth in visitor traffic, showing an increase of over 9000 visits per month. These are regular visitors, who look to this site as their primary resource for all information on upcoming theatrical productions.

If you are putting on a show, your audience demographic will always include theatre enthusiasts. When you advertise on Backstage Utah, you're advertising directly to a large portion of your audience.

Advertise My Show

An ad for your upcoming production can display in the advertising banner on the right of this screen in the "Now Playing" rotator, in addition, your ad will also display on the Now Playing Page in a wider rotator. The ad acts as a link and will drive traffic directly to your website or ticket page when it's clicked. This advertising is purchased and posted on a per-production basis, and will run from date you send it until your final performance date.

IMPORTANT Sample

All graphical advertisements should be set at 200px wide by 300 px tall and at 72 dpi.

The rotator will force the graphic to the specified width and height, but to save on server space, we ask that all graphics be set at those parameters.

Since you're likely shrinking your poster from a large print size down to 200 x 300 x 72, it's recommended that you check that your design doesn't become unreadable once it's rendered. The example on the right shows a design that fits the parameters, but doesn't lose either its graphical quality, nor is any of the pertinent information left unreadble.

Backstage Utah can recommend a graphic artist who can help you create an ad from your current artwork at a reasonable fee. Click HERE for more details.

Rates

The advertising rate to have your ad displayed in the bar at the right, as well as on the Now Playing page, is $25/production. Your ad will run for the length of your ticket sales.

To have your playbill displayed only on the Now Playing Page is $10. As above, your ad will run for the length of your ticket sales.

Can I still post my show announcement for Free on the Now Playing message boards?

Yes, that's still free (you don't even have to register to do it), and will display as a text link on the Now Playing page. However, that will be a text link listed with all the other text links for all the other shows/auditions that have also posted. A graphic ad for your show, displayed on the right of every page as well as above the text links, will have more people click it.

Sounds Great! Let's Do It!

Advertise my Business

A graphical link directly to your business can be displayed in the advertising banner on the right of the screen in the "Our Sponsors" section. The image will link directly to your website or to a designated landing page. This advertising is purchased and posted on an annual basis.
