During times, other than, during the Carnival season, times were, that an estimated 21,725,000 visitor's visit the Gulf Coast of the U.S. During Carnival season, that number swells to more than 56 million as the celebrations begins to get underway. The locals, that either want to attend or actually do attend, varied venues and neighborhoods celebrations from Treme' to areas along St. Charles Av. in New Orleans, to the Strand in Galveston Isle, to the beaches of Panama City Beach, Fla, and wharfs of Tampa Bay, are all looking for places and people that can tell them where they can see a REAL piece of Carnival. Mardi Gras in action! They find it in, Second Lines, Mardi Gras Indians, Brass bands, fundraisers, practices, and other events that are of interest to tourist and locals alike. Since Katrina, the events are still taking place, but at a much reduced rate. We will cover the damage to these venues and other areas not covered by the national media and watch these areas regain their footing. Visitor's and displaced evacuees, that seek to participate in these events, are literally starved for some source of information, that is industry and locale specific. They are indeed looking for a printed source, that covers these events, businesses, and especially the people, that keep this culture alive and thriving. This small digest, will now cover these venues and so much more!
To answer the calls for an industry wide, business to industry, as well as a, business to public periodical that looks to disseminate valuable, time saving, cost saving, information to the industry as a whole, and, to it's fan base, we now present the grass roots publication, entitled,
This New Carnival / Mardi Gras Magazine Journal, was proposed by some inside leaders of the industry as a badly needed component, a communications vehicle, to perform certain duties, such as, put out the call for volunteers, alert vendors to new opportunities, new products and to read reports from others, who seek to identify and resolve issues and offer working solutions, to actual and/or long standing problems. Just as the reveler's have, the infamous, Mardi Gras Guide as their program, to the two week celebration in New Orleans, this magazine would be for the captains, presidents, and board members of any krewe, or any organization that has the celebration of Carnival as it's main purpose, to allow them to exchange ideas on what's happening, known industry problems, and the solutions that are working for them, that can be used on a Gulf wide region basis as well . Not only that, this new Magazine is primarily an opportunity, to provide timely information, provide essential articles, provide exposure and substantive discussions and editorials, about the Ball Only organizations, the Social Aide & Pleasure Clubs, Indians tribes, Brass bands and other often overlooked elements, such as the many obscure walking groups, dance teams, marching bands and more that are out there. Of course, there will be the occasional update and reports from those krewes, who do keep us abreast of coming events in their preparations for not only, the upcoming Carnival season, but all their yearly events.
Also our other target audiences, small and large vendors, businesses that need to prepare, and of course the local & city governments out there. We'll carry information about the hotels, and motels on the gulf coast. We will strive hard to let incoming revelers know what's new and what they’re getting for their hard earned money in the upcoming season. (Mardi Gras accommodations are usually up to 60% sold-out by this stage - so the magazine is a must-read), The digest will help industry business and clubs concentrate on planning , so your members can have access to the best accommodations, see and do more, and totally enjoy their time! There are approximately 100,800,000 plus+ US and international revelers, club members, vendors, and yes, sponsors out there who may want an opportunity to get involved with the fundraisers, practices, the dances, the crawfish boils, and much more. This is also a terrific opportunity for advertisers to get ahead of the game, expand their domain, and be seen in other markets, they also will be able to maintain a year around connection with those, who needs to know, who to see, before, during, and after, the festivals in all major markets. So, don't just sit there fiddling about what you could or should know or trying to think how you can reach, much less get to know all the people who put on Carnival. Sign up for the magazine and stay visible, all year and keep potential clients informed, by showcasing your new products, new employees, or the latest methods, and other business news so you can earn a larger share of the Carnival market.
