Dear Carrie:

It is my pleasure to inform you of anew and exciting opportunity for Matador Records to deliver their messages "where the action is" -- in schools.

We are a company serving the school community as a business partner. STAR Broadcasting, Inc. provides a music service interspersed with advertising messages that enhances the environment of the school -- relaxing students, relieving stress and providing an enjoyable atmosphere.

STAR Broadcasting, Inc. would very much like to have Matador Records be a part of our broadcast medium that has been carefully conceived and poised to deliver solid results against a specific demographic. Never before has a broadcast medium combined a commitment to scholastic development with entertainment and commercial enterprise.

The sole purpose of the STAR Broadcasting network is to reach the nation's student audience in a totally unique way that benefits both business and public education.

The STAR network has several benefits, these are just a few to keep in mind:

  • STAR delivers real consumers with incredible product decision making ability and buying power.

  • STAR reaches students when and where no other media can reach them -- during their free time in school

  • Matador Records messages and support cannot be missed. The level of competitive noise is lower than other media.

  • On a per school basis Matador Records has the opportunity to distribute promotional materials (coupons, products, brochures, etc.).

  • Capture their attention with a mixture of contemporary music interspersed with messages from your company.

  • STAR supports America's schools and its students in a monetary and educational way that is vital to your company's image.

  • You are assured of audience delivery as promised. And, as a front-end supporter, you get preferential treatment in access, availability and rates for the 1996-1997 school year.
The audience Matador Records will reach is pure in that you will have a targeted listener specific to the school market. Unlike other forms of media where the shotgun approach is utilized in order to reach a desired audience, often wasting advertising dollars on an unwanted listener.

STAR Broadcasting, Inc. is prepared to assist you in developing a plan specific to your needs and maximizing the results of your marketing budget, targeting an audience to your exact specifications.

We're excited about STAR Broadcasting, Inc. And we think you will be too, I am confident we can provide outstanding results for Matador Records both through the use of our network and because of our marketing knowledge of schools. I would like to talk with you as to how we can be a part of your media plan and make STAR Broadcasting work for you.

Sincerely,

Scott Plum
Marketing Director
