At my uni, they dumped competition brochures outside the music reception office. I still tend to find out about these things on paper or posters more often than online or e-mail marketing.

If you specify "2014" in your search, you'll get better results.

Bricks and mortar music stores also tend to have promo material around. Check with the sheet/books section or at the cash.
