Hilton Park is known throughout the Northeastern U.S. for their earthy, emotionally expressive, and superbly crafted Americana, Folk, and Blues music.

Big features on a small device.

Smart Ear is a compact wireless Bluetooth ear-bud packed with all of today’s biggest tech features. While most wireless ear-buds will play music, we find they are generally designed around just one or two specific features. Smart Ear was not satisfied with that. We have designed our ear-buds to take advantage of all the latest technology trends. Whether you at work or at play, Smart Ear has a mode designed to make your life easier, and more enjoyable.

Smart Ear’s ergonomic design is so comfortable you can wear it anywhere, and small enough to be nearly invisible. And Smart Ear is completely waterproof, why you can even wear it while swimming.

Smart Ear’s Bluetooth technology allows lightning fast and crystal clear communication between your mobile device and your Smart Ear ear-buds, in a package so small, comfortable, and easy to use, you’ll never want to take them out. Listen to the music you like, or maybe your favorite audio book, anywhere and anytime. But Smart Ear’s are more than just great headsets for talking on the phone or listening to music. They are much, much more.

Just look at our long list of features:

Charging:

We know how busy you are so each wirelessSmart Ear ear-bud comes complete with it’s own stylish mobile charging case so you can re-charge your Smart Ear anywhere and anytime. And each case is small enough to fit into a pocket or a purse for your convenience.

Safe Mode:

Yes, we live in a dangerous, crazy world, and as much as we would like to drown it all out, we know that is not always the safest thing to do. Whether you are driving your car through traffic or walking down the sidewalk, it is essential that you are aware of what is going on around you. Believe it or not, the number of people who have suffered injury or death while wearing headphones has nearly tripled

In the last six years. Why? This is because most earphones block out too much noise. Wearers unable to hear approaching traffic, warning shouts, car horns, or even an approaching train have been badly hurt and even killed because the ear phones they were wearing blocked out to much sound. Many lives could have been saved if the victim had heard the warnings. With Smart Ear you can enjoy your tunes and still be safe. Simply tap your earpiece once and you can safely listen to your music and still hear traffic, car horns, or other warning signals.

Granite Coast Entertainment, corp, is asking for your help in building New England’s arts and cultural community.

Granite Coast Entertainment magazine and radio is a multi-media company promoting New England music, and sports, while providing a broad marketing platform for businesses, like you.

Communities are continually competing to get the most talented and brightest workers by selling them on the cultural vibrancy of their communities – the restaurants, art galleries, music scene, and so on. In fact, the cities that are most successful in attracting workers are the ones that have the most exciting art and cultural offerings. It’s been shown that the arts and culture sector is an integral part of the new economy.

As a business, while you may want to help, you certainly don’t want to throw your advertising dollars into the wind.

For example – How many times have you been asked to sponsor a particular artist or event? Sure it may be a great cause, but your exposure is generally limited, based on the artist, genre, or location.

Granite Coast Entertainment can give (Insert name of company) a much broader reach both in demographics and total numbers reached, and often for the same money you spent on a specific sponsorship.

By combining Print, Radio, and Social media, Granite Coast Entertainment can offer (Insert name of company) visibility through all three for the price you’d usually pay for just one ad.

Website – Over 5,000 page views per day.

Radio – 1,000’s of listeners & growing

Magazine – Print ~ 10,000 issues, Digital ~ unlimited

Good afternoon Mr. Peters,

My name is Rick Stephens, president and founding partner of Granite Coast Entertainment, Corp. I believe we spoke a few weeks back on one of Ray Freedell’s calls.

As exciting as it is to be living in Maine, the leader in micro-brewing in the states, I understand the need for existing company’s, like D.L. Geary, to protect and grow their market share. Changes in Maine state law make this ever more important as new brewers find it easier and cheaper to open up and distribute throughout New England.

I know that some of the larger brewers, like Shipyard Brewing, are embracing these changes as it benefits them directly. Big, small, or in-between, marketing has never been more important for this industry.

As you know, marketing is about visibility. Granite Coast Entertainment is unique in that we provide our partners with multiple media sources: Full color print magazine, three radio stations, web/social media, and live events. Even though our focus is regional, i.e. the six New England states, our reach is worldwide. 10,000 issues of our free magazine is distributed through retail stores and venues (many offering Geary Beer) throughout New England. The New England Music Award edition will also be distributed at the event in Foxboro, MA. A digital version is available on line. Our radio stations have listeners from around the United States and 24 countries’. Our website is currently getting over 30,000 page views per day and growing.

A Granite Coast Entertainment, “Marque,” sponsor receives visibility at all events sponsored or supported by Granite Coast Entertainment. This includes New England Music Awards and the Maine Blues Festival. Other events and festivals around New England are still in negotiation but include Portland Beer Week, and several large shows.

We are excited to announce that we are the only station permitted to broadcast live at The Music Awards.

In conclusion, I believe we would be a good addition to your overall marketing plan.
