What is the Albany Buzz?
Events are a central part of 229 Life’s focus across South Georgia, and that’s why we’re proud to announce the Albany Buzz – an events focused printed publication for the Albany area.
229 Life has partnered with 25+ popular and high-traffic locations across the Albany area for distribution. Visitors, shoppers, diners, and guests will find the latest issues of the Albany Buzz at many of their favorite places around town.
Each monthly issue is made so people can pick up a copy and take it with them while on the go. Check out the full list of places down below.
Why do this?
Great question! The goal is simple: help people stay in the know about events happening around Albany. Online resources and social media are no longer enough to get the word out for events coming up, especially when organizers are looking for a good turnout.
There are still plenty of people who tend to say things like, “there’s nothing to do around here.” That’s why the Albany Buzz is working to help close the gap of people who don’t realize or don’t have access to as much about what’s happening from month to month.
How do I participate?
If you have an event coming up that you want to promote, you can apply to be included. As long as there is space, you can secure a spot for your event. Each month’s events are first come, first served until sold out.
How much does it cost?
As a printed publication, the Albany Buzz is free to pick up around town at our partnering locations. Promoted events are very low cost and limited in availability. If you would like current pricing for available space, just contact us for more information.
When is the deadline?
This is an important question. The deadline for submissions and payment for each issue of the Albany Buzz is the 22nd of the prior month. For example: if you have an event to promote for the November issue, you would need to have everything submitted by October 22nd.
When do new Albany Buzz issues come out?
New Albany Buzz issues are delivered to partner businesses around the 24th and 25th of the month.
