Autumn Fest presents expanded advertising opportunities
by Melanie Jongsma, Managing Editor
LANSING, Ill. (September 16, 2019) – Thousands of people attend Autumn Fest in Lansing each year, from Lansing as well as the surrounding region. The potential for out-of-town attendees is even greater this year as a result of the increased exposure Lansing received throughout the summer concert series at Fox Pointe. The variety of music and activities brought a variety of new people to the new venue—from Crete, South Holland, Munster, and even as far as Valparaiso, Indiana.
For last year’s Autumn Fest at Fox Pointe, The Lansing Journal printed an extra 1,000 copies of our October issue, which featured a full-page ad by LACE listing the schedule of events for the three-day Fest, and a map of the venue. Copies of the October issue were placed at the Fox Pointe entrance, so as people checked in they could pick up a free copy. Not only did Fest attenders read through The Lansing Journal, they kept it throughout the weekend so they could refer to the back page map and schedule.
