PROMOTIONAL GUIDE


  
 

 

The most successful promotion efforts are when we as the band and you as the promoter combine our work to help reach out to as many people as possible.  In our experience, doing a few creative tasks can really help create awareness for your event.  We have seen many creative promotion ideas be successful, but you know your market the best, so do what you feel will be the most effective. Facebook advertising is the most effecting and cost effective advertising on the market today. Remedy Drive is a very effective facebook band and we encourage you to use Facebook to advertise.

Generally, some of the most effective marketing ideas include:

  • Involvement of a radio station with advertising or helping us line up an on-air interview - management can help with the interview.
  • Involvement of your local press – reach out to a newspaper or a music magazine to line up an interview/article. We recommend you do not buy advertising in papers/rags.
  • Offer special ‘Group Ticket Pricing’ to area youth groups (buy 10 get 1 free)
  • Free Tickets to Youth Pastors who bring their groups
  • Distributing our videos and music to area youth groups (get the video played in youth meetings)
  • Email Blasts – working with local churches/communities to get them to send an email blast to their email lists promoting the concert
  • Opening Acts – sometimes putting a local opening act is a huge benefit to ticket sales if a band/artist is available
  • Posters and Flyers in churches/youth group rooms, area schools, coffee shops and community event boards
  • Facebook Events - The band's management sets up a facebook ad for every event - talk to them about inviting people to it.
  • Facebook Advertising - Select the button below that works for your event to view the instruction document.

These specific promotion ideas and can help guide you but immediately we would like to see if you could put us in contact with 2-3 motivated volunteers who can dig-in and promote the event.  These volunteers will help us with things like creating Myspace and Facebook events, as well as circulating our video to their friends online.  Once you have gathered your volunteers, please email me their email address and phone number. Please email blair@earlymorningmusic.com with their info.
