Do you want your business out in front of a loyal and affluent group of potential customers?

Did you know that the lesbian and gay community is well known as one of those groups who regularly seek out companies that advertise in the gay and lesbian media?

Sponsoring Outrageous!/07 can help your business get out in front of these consumers.

The Film Festival provides much-needed cultural programming and community validation to the gay and lesbian community, which represents a significant number of individuals in the City of Santa Barbara. The local gay and lesbian population is conservatively estimated at 6,200 people—approximately seven percent of the population. (As a reference point, this is approximately twice the number of African Americans that live in Santa Barbara. Reference: SBCAG Census.)

We hope you will consider joining with us this year to present the 16th Annual Santa Barbara Lesbian & Gay Film Festival.
