The International Horn Society offers a variety of options for individuals and businesses to reach out to our membership which includes thousands of students, professionals, enthusiasts, composers and manufacturers. These are great methods for you to use in marketing your products to a select group of people who share interest in performance, study and music for the horn. We offer both print and online advertising possibilities. We offer in-person opportunities to market your products as an exhibitor at our annual International Symposium. And, we sell our membership (snail) mailing lists to select businesses that offer products specific to the horn.
The print options include classified advertisements, and both color and black-and-white advertisements in various size options. The print advertisements are published in our journal The Horn Call, which is published three times each year, in October, January and April.

Symposium
Each year the International Horn Society works with a host institution to hold a week-long symposium. An important part of the event each year is the exhibition space, where businesses can meet one-to-one with participants. Exhibitors can market their products directly to up to 700 horn enthusiasts during the symposium. We also offer print advertising space in the program book for the event. To find out more about becoming an exhibitor or placing an advertisement in the program book at our annual symposium please contact the Assistant to the Executive Director, Myrddin Rees Davies at assistant@hornsociety.org
Mail Marketing
We also sell our member mailing list to select businesses who are offering products or events which we feel will be of specific interest to our membership. These are postal mailing lists only. We do not sell our member's email addresses. These lists can be sorted and limited by geographic region to target your marketing efforts.
