Getting Your Products in UpBeat Daily is EASY!

Here's How:

• You must be exhibiting at NAMM tohave press in UpBeat.
• Send press releases to editor@upbeatdaily.com
• Deadline for Winter NAMM 2008 press submissions Nov. 21.
We accept releases up to and even at the NAMM Show, but your chances of getting them published decrease dramatically after Nov. 21.
• Submit copy in basic word processing formats.
• Include JPEGs, TIFFs and PDFs whenever possible, 300 dpi.
• Call (630-941-2030) or e-mail Frank Alkyer, publisher, at editor@upbeatdaily.com to ensure that we received your press releases.
• If you wish to post your releases to our FTP site, please see the specs here. Upload editorial files to the "Upbeat Editorial" directory on our server. Upon completion of your upload let us know that the files are up. Contact Andy Williams with question or problems with the FTP site.
• Please do not send us links to your FTP site. As you can imagine, we deal with hundreds and hundreds of companies. It is simply too time consuming to go to someone else's FTP site to retrieve photos and copy. E-mail is best. FTP to our site is second. Mailing a disc is third.

FAQs

Q: Do I have to advertise to get press into UpBeat Daily?
A: No. We work hard to create as even a playing field as possible for NAMM Show exhibitors. Our priorities in publishing UpBeat are the following: 1) Big news rules. 2) Take care of our advertisers. After publishing the top news of the day, we will make sure our advertising clients are covered in the magazines. 3) Include as many other companies in the Dailies as possible. We know that tomorrow's big companies start with humble beginnings. Our goal is to expose retail buyers to as many new products and companies as possible.

Q: If I miss the editorial deadline, can I still get my press into UpBeat?
A: Yes, but with each passing day after the deadline, your odds of being covered dwindle. Our advice is to submit product releases as they become ready, instead of preparing everything and sending it in one package or e-mail. That strategy makes it easier for us to deal with a few last-minute releases.
