That’s it from me for 2018! Look out for the next edition of Pro Mobile in January, but until then – and throughout the Christmas party season – keep ‘em dancing! Welcome to the final edition of Pro Mobile for 2018! (Where has that year gone…?) I’d like to start this issue’s introduction by thanking everyone who visited the Pro Mobile stand at the new BPM DJ Show in Solihull back in October. And I’d also like to thank our stand team – Carl Hirst and Steve Honeyball – for all their hard work over the weekend.
The atmosphere at the show was fantastic across both days and, as always, it was a pleasure to meet so many readers of the magazine face-to-face. We also signed up lots of new subscribers at the show, so – if this is the first edition in your new subscription – welcome to the Pro Mobile family! There’s a photo report from BPM starting on page 30, so if you weren’t able to make it you can get a feel for the new format of the show and if you did attend you might even find yourself pictured!
As another year is coming to an end, you’ll also find our annual Reader Survey in this edition of the magazine. At Pro Mobile we’re committed to making sure that everything we do fits in with what you, our readers, are looking for from a mobile DJ Reader Survey 2 018 in association with As 2018 draws to a close, it’s time for the annual questionnaire polling Pro Mobile readers. The survey is intended to help the magazine editorial team better understand our readership so that we can ensure Pro Mobile’s content remains interesting, relevant and informative.
It also allows us to produce national statistics on mobile DJs that help our advertisers to better serve the readership. Please take the time to fill in the survey; it should only take between 5 and 10 minutes to complete. We have tried to make it as straight-forward as possible, while covering all of the areas that we feel are relevant. The survey is for everyone; if you’re reading this magazine we’d like to hear your views, it doesn’t matter if you’ve been a subscriber since the beginning or if this is the first copy you’ve seen.
