Many people do not realize that their organizational work does not end with forming the band and making music. Until and unless they are signed up by a recording company, which will promote their band, the guys in the band have to do it themselves. You are not expected to be experts in knowing how to promote your band. Read the useful tips below and you will get a fair idea how to go about.
One of the most important things for the band to get noticed in the initial stages is to be in the public eye continuously. You should make it a point to be present in all the shows and events that are held locally and regionally and be seen playing.
One cannot ignore the social networking media and the power of communication that these sites have. You should use twitter, you tube, face book and other similar sites to your best advantage to spread the word around. Besides make sure your ids are printed on all other promo materials as well as CDs. People will pick up the thread and start talking about your music.
Giving access to people to down load one of your latest numbers or famous tune could go very well with public. You will get response from very many who will download and listen to your music and give you good comments. If they like your music, they will start listening to your songs and buy CDs and attend concerts. This way you will build your reputation without having to spend too much of money on promotions.
Along with free downloads, you should communicate with your fans and urge them to share your music with other friends and family. You will then be able to generate lot of interest in your music and the public opinion starts building up too.
One other way to increase your fan base could be to give away the CDs at cost and encourage people to share it with others too. Print all your IDs on the CD label without fail. They can burn a copy or rip the music and share it with friends and family. This way your music can reach a larger group very fast.
There is yet another important thing that you could do. Host your music on the You Tube and while music is playing, put up some videos and pictures of your band too. You can invite people to your next show or event here. Do not forget to ensure that your ids of the various social networking sites are up along with your listing.
Always check out the scene with other bands and competition. They could be doing something new to promote their band, in which case you can pick up and improvise on the same idea too or they could be doing the same thing that you are doing too. But then you will always get more ideas to develop.
