International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA) Convention 2006 October 19 – October 22, 2006

ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITY FOR IGRA ASSOCIATIONS Howdy! SMRA would like to offer you an opportunity to contribute to the success of IGRA’s Convention 2006 by purchasing ad space in several Convention-related publications. Two advertising options are available! Option One – Advertise in the Convention Program. The Convention Program will be distributed to delegates and participants representing IGRA Associations from throughout the United States and Canada. Directing an advertisement to this audience has many obvious benefits in addition to helping SMRA with the printing cost of the program. Option Two – Advertise in the Convention Program PLUS a Newspaper Insert that will appear in the October issues of both Out & About Newspaper and insideOut Nashville in addition to the Convention Program (Three publications!) thus reaching a much larger audience! *Non-Profit Organizations receive a 15% Discount on this option only! Out & About Newspaper has the highest circulation of any of the Nashville and Knoxville gay publications with a minimum of 12,000 copies per print run (while not audited, a print order will gladly be shared). Their most recent reader survey indicated an average of two readers per household, with 25 percent of their readers spending an hour or more reading O&AN , and more than 45 percent spend 30 minutes with each issue. With 30,000+ readers, they are Tennessee's largest GLBT publication. insideOut Nashville is Nashville's oldest and arguably most trusted GLBT publication, designed to capture the essence of Nashville’s GLBT nightlife. Originally published under the name Xenogeny, iOut made its debut in October 1994. Xenogeny/insideOut Nashville has been published under the direction of Linda Welch since the spring of 1995.
