1043.0. "please help" by DBCIC1::RUSSELL () Thu Apr 30 1992 12:41

    Hi,
    
    I dont know if this is the right conference for this note...but here
    goes anyway....8^)
    
    I am trying to establish a small business which will provide
    certain services and I need to advertise in certain Newspapers
    in the U.S.A.
    
    The community I am aiming for is the Ethnic Irish Community. I need
    to get a list of the most popular papers read by Irish People in the
    USA.
    
    I presume Boston and Chicago would be the biggest, can any of you tell 
    me of other cities I should advertise in, and what Newspapers to
    target?
    
    many thanks for any assistance rendered......
    
    cheers,
    
    TAdhg Russell, Digital , Dublin.

    New York Too!
    
    Maybe a library could give you the information you need.  Trinity might
    even have some consulting services.  They have a business program there
    I understand.

1043.4input...input!DBCIC1::RUSSELLFri May 01 1992 12:4113
    thanks, guys!
    
    addresses would be much appreciated (of papers that is!)
    
    what sort of circulation sizes would these have  (100,000+???)
    
    Would these papers be more aimed at the recent emigrant? I would also
    be very interested in targeting the more 'mainstream' established
    Emigrants who left Ireland 20-40 years ago...
    
    thanks again.

1043.5Well actually ....CTHQ2::COADYFri May 01 1992 12:519
    
    Actually the Irish Emigrant is a News letter from Galway thats sent to
    all Irish DECCIE ex-pats, plus a few 1000 more Irish people, who have
    access to electronic mails ( other hi-tech companies, universities) and
    indeed go knows how many hardcopies get around.
    
    Its not really a news paper --- just much better.
    
     
1043.6More portar sirTALLIS::DARCYFri May 01 1992 14:2848
    Tadhg,
    
    Don't forget the following other sources:
    
    1) Cara - Aer Lingus inflight magazine (older following,
          around 20,000?)
    
    2) Ireland of the Welcomes - pictorial magazine on Ireland
          (larger subscription base than Cara - I think around
          90,000 - mostly older emigrants and 1st + 2nd
          generation Irish Americans)
    
    3) The Irish People - for your die-hard Republicans + spies.
          (subscription base several thousands)
    
    4) Inside Ireland - informational newsletter from Ireland
          (I think based in Wicklow - subscription base in the
          tens of thousands)
    
    As Kevin mentioned:
    5) Irish Echo (probably has a slightly higher subscription base
          then the Voice - around 100,000?)    
    6) Irish Voice (more liberal than the Irish Echo - has better
          color in their pictures)
    
    Other places you could easily advertise for their "Irish" base
    would be
    
    	Boston Globe (probably hit about 300,000 Irish Americans
    		although not the die-hard types)
    	New York Times (bigger base than Globe)
        San Fransiscan Chronicle
        Chicago Tribune
        Philedelphia Eagle?
    
    And finally you could dish out some money for USA Today newspaper
    if you were so inclined.  If any of these interest you, I will
    dig out the addresses.  You could also try Irish American radio
    stations.  There are many many of them (in the hundreds).  The
    best ones would be in Boston (WNTN, WBUR etc.) and New York.
    Good market I'm sure.
    
    May I ask what your selling?  It's not Claddagh shaped door knockers
    is it?  Only kidding ;v)
    
    Sl�n,

1043.7ok , I'll tell ya!DBCIC1::RUSSELLMon May 04 1992 06:1621
    re -1
    
    George,
    
    now THAT sort of information is what I'm looking for...addresses would
    be great if you can post them here also, thanks.
    
    Claddagh shaped door knockers....ha ha!!!  No!!! Will I tell ya???
    
    Ok...I have come into possesion of some small to heavy arms from
    the formers USSR....bought them in an Azerbijani chipper here in 
    Dublin....so I figured that the Irish Community in the USA would like
    some of these as protection against this wave of rioting.
    
    One question....how much does one charge for a long range ICBM??
    Its cluttering up the back garden and I'm afraid the kids might break
    it. 
    
    cheers,
