DO YOUR PART TO PROMOTE CABARET!

Take a few minutes today to do one special thing to promote cabaret. It's quick, simple, and costs nothing. Every e-mail program I know of has a "signature" preference. If you could just put the words "MARCH IS CABARET MONTH" as part of your signature for the next 10 weeks, through March 31st, every piece of mail you send will cause folks to think about cabaret - it might even cause some to write back to you to ask what it means, giving you an opportunity to "proselytize" for cabaret. Let's take back the word CABARET!

DOING A SHOW IN MARCH? LET US HELP YOU SPREAD THE WORD

If you are presenting a cabaret show or event during the month of March, 2010, our MARCH IS CABARET MONTH promotion gives you a chance for extra promotion at no extra charge: a second listing of your show on the MARCH IS CABARET MONTH website! All shows presented in March that include the phrase "MARCH IS CABARET MONTH" in their release materials will be included on the special website - and on that website the events are listed is special geographical page sections so folks in various parts of the universe that visit the website can easily find an event playing in their area. The event listing will appear as usual on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website in the DIARY/DATEBOOK and in the newsletter as well.

And if your March event news item gets to me by February 20th we will include your event in a special MARCH IS CABARET MONTH EVENTS press release that our press rep Don Schaffer will be sending out to all cabaret news journalists and publications on his rather comprehensive press list. All you need do is include the slogan "MARCH IS CABARET MONTH" in your release and we'll include your info in ours!

EVERY DAY, IN EVERY WAY, I TRY TO MAKE IT BETTER AND BETTER

The very first sponsor donation that came in for MARCH IS CABARET MONTH was used to purchase a new "suite" of computer programs to enable us to work more efficiently - I have been hoping to make this purchase for over a year. It will allow us to take CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE to a new level. Computer programs take a while to learn, and we've been coordinating the use of this new set of tools into the several ways we currently try to promote the art & artists of cabaret:

- our twice-a-week newsletter - Mondays & Thursdays
- our weekly MEMBERS' ONLY newsletter every Saturday
- our membership program providing show discounts, CD sale pages, blog & YouTube links, ad discounts/rebates and other benefits
- the 7200+ page website ( http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/ ) with its listings, articles, reviews and message board
- the blog ( http://cabarethotlineonline.blogspot.com/ ) with up-to-the-minute messages and bulletins
- the special website for songwriters ( http://www.CabaretSings.com/ ) where songwriters and composers can promote their musical creations
- our 4 twitter accounts that allow us to keep in instant contact with our "followers"
- our MARCH IS CABARET MONTH promotion
- our 3 annual shows: MARCH IS CABARET MONTH GALA, BIRTHDAY PARTY and CDs FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

Stay tuned: you ain't seen nuttin' yet! Every day, in every way, we're promoting cabaret!
