Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can I reserve an e-blast?
As a customer of CaFE, you may reserve an e-blast as soon as your call is open and accepting applications.
Do I have to write the e-blast ad?
Your ad is already written. We use your call’s short description, logo, and other call-ready details to create your e-blast content. Or we can work with you if you have a revised version.
How many artists do you reach? Can I see the list?
With over 106,000 artists and counting, CaFE artists opt-in to receive targeted opportunities from hundreds of arts organizations using CaFE. To comply with our privacy policy, we do not share this list directly with organizations.
Can I send an e-blast to a single state, region, or country?
Yes. You may choose to send your e-blast to one or multiple states, regions, or countries. You must only choose one geographic type, however (for example, you can only send to selection of state(s) or region(s), not both).
What days can I send an e-blast?
Reservations are accepted for Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays (excluding holidays). To keep your e-blast exclusive and emailing artists to a minimum, only ONE e-blast is sent per day.
Can I include an attachment?
CaFÉ will automatically include your logo but no other attachments can be included.
Can I purchase more than one e-blast?
You may purchase and send any number of e-blasts for the same call or for additional calls.
How do I know how many emails were opened?
Engagement tracking is not available at this time.
If there are typographical or grammatical errors on my e-blast, can I resend it at no cost?
The e-blast will be sent with the exact copy displayed in the proof. It is the responsibility of the organization requesting the e-blast to proofread the text prior to sending. If you wish to resend, you may purchase a new e-blast.
What else should I know?
As with all services, additional terms may apply. If you have a special request or additional questions, contact us at cafehelp@westaf.org.
