NEWS ABOUT CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
FIRST ANNUAL "AUTUMN IS CABARET SEASON" CAMPAIGN HAS BEGUN
Our first annual AUTUMN IS CABARET SEASON! campaign has begun! For the next 3 1/2 months we urge all cabaret performers and fans to help us promote the art and artists of cabaret - now more than ever, cabaret needs your support!
I have been truly touched by the number of folks who, when asked to join as members of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE (even at the $5 sustaining level) write that they simply cannot join at this time. There are stories of eviction notices, lost jobs, cutback in hours, spouses laid off of work, and for some professional performers a shortage of bookings that began over a year ago or, for others, the inability to attract audiences for their shows.
There is little you or I can do to reduce general unemployment (which still remains at nearly 10% - even more in some areas) but we can - and we must - do something to revitalize cabaret, by spreading the word about this amazing, exciting, creative and thrilling form of entertainment.
Over the next few weeks, we'll be giving you suggestions and ideas on how everyone who receives these free CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE newsletters can do their part - many of which will cost nothing! If you're not yet subscribed, just send an e-mail to stuhamstra@svhamstra.com with the single word SUBSCRIBE in the subject line (it's automatic - its free).
First off, spread the slogan AUTUMN IS CABARET SEASON! (hard to spell, I realize - misspelled it several times myself). A quick and easy way is to add the phrase to your signature line on your e-mails. That way, everyone who receives an e-mail from you will see the slogan - and when they ask what it means, you have a perfect opportunity to spread the "gospel" of cabaret!
Next, add the phrase (or either of the the orange banners below) to your website, your blog and your MySpace and/or FaceBook pages. You can leave it unlinked or link it anywhere you please!
Remember, this campaign is not about CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE - its about the ART OF CABARET. Together it is our way to get the word out that a whole world of exciting, up-close & personal entertainment awaits. It's our way to begin to re-fill those cabaret rooms, get bookings for our favorite performers, and make everyone "cabaret conscious".
This is not a fund raising campaign! It's an awareness campaign. But it will work only if as many folks as possible take part. I've already started by posting the slogan several times a day on the 4 CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE TWITTER accounts, and on my FaceBook account, as well as on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE website, and the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE blog .
Please start today - we don't have a moment to lose! To take part in the suggestions above will cost you nothing, but may mean a booking for a performer, or more seats sold at a cabaret event somewhere.
Spread the word - AUTUMN IS CABARET SEASON!
