Background Press Information
THE
GAY to Z DIRECTORY
- over 8000 visitors a day
Many
people thought that the need for a gay telephone directory -
where you find goods and services from gay and gay-friendly
organisations - would disappear once we achieved an equal age
of consent. But in fact demand has never been higher.
And
with it has come a raising of standards, especially in areas
such as hotels, where gay owned businesses now compete openly
with bigger chains, especially for the American gay traveller.
In the last couple of years the internet has taken off in the UK, and the web version of the GAY to Z Directory has come into its own. Already nearly 300 lesbian and gay organisations are advertising, with over 13,000 listings which can be searched by name, region, key word or type. The system shows opening times, addresses, telephone, fax, email and web addresses, and even a map of the venue you're heading for. In 2006 we received searches from over 3 million visitors.
As
well as aiming to list every LGBT organisation in the UK, the
GAY to Z Events Guide provides a useful calendar of gay pride
and other events worldwide. And there is a free Classified service
where visitors can place a free advert for flat shares, jobs,
dating and items for sale.
The
publishers is Stephen Coote, whose background is in marketing
and PR in the health and IT sectors. The printed telephone directory
is now 96-pages, with an alphabetical section covering everything
from Accountants through to Youth Groups, plus a geographical
section so you can find local bars, clubs, restaurants, hotels
and saunas by region.
The
new printed edition of the GAY to Z is now available by mail order, send £3 to GAY to Z Directories, 41 Cooks Road, London, SE17 3NG. Or at www.gaytoz.com.
Overseas
customers send $10.
