(BELMAR, NJ) — New Jersey Stage wants to create a
network of virtual newspaper boxes across the internet to help promote
and distribute its new digital magazine. Traditionally, arts &
entertainment weeklies have placed newspaper boxes at busy street
corners to serve as distribution points. Since New Jersey Stage is a
digital magazine without any physical copies to distribute, the
publication is introducing a new program to simulate the newspaper box
approach in the virtual world. Appropriately named "Stagehands", the
program offers artists, organizations, and businesses free advertising
in exchange for helping to spread the word about the new magazine.
New
Jersey Stage blends the best features of the web with the look and feel
of a magazine. Each issue covers the arts with audio, video, and
interactive elements that help the stories and advertising come alive.
The first issue contained a poet reciting a poem within a beautifully
shot video, tv clips from the past, a short indie film, a photo gallery
slideshow of art, and a music video. Several ads even included video to
go along pop-up driving maps and links back to websites and social
media networks. Yet, the issue is designed to read just like a magazine
with pages that actually turn, whether they're being read on a
computer, a tablet, or a smartphone.
"Our Stagehands program offers a free 300x250 pixel ad on NewJerseyStage.com in exchange for helping to spread the word about our digital magazine," explained Gary Wien, publisher. "Stagehands may choose to add one of our banners or buttons to their website, add a text link to the magazine, or simply share the link to the magazine on their social network sites each month.
"Essentially, the Stagehands help form a key element in our digital magazine's distribution network," said Wien. "As a way of showing our appreciation, we have set up a special ad rotation on our website solely to run ads by the Stagehands."
There are no costs involved in the Stagehands program. Interested parties simply notify NewJerseyStage.com that they will be helping to spread the word, send over a 300x250 ad, and the ad will be put into rotation on the website. A link will also be added in a special section listing all of the Stagehands.
"By helping more people learn about New Jersey Stage magazine, the Stagehands are actually helping to keep arts journalism alive in the Garden State," added Wien. "Mainstream newspapers have been steadily decreasing the amount of their arts coverage over the years and, with so many publications struggling to stay afloat, independent arts magazines like New Jersey Stage are the answer."
