Dear Fred and Lyna,

We are a area set that is trying to get a wider viewers. We have been on all sides for two old age playing regional clubs and we have a insignificant later. After listening to individual of your shows we've gotten quite a few intense ideas; but we were questioning if you have any meteoric distance we can get our trimming more exposure?

The Lightning Bugs

Fred: You're not unsocial. According to Myspace within are virtually one million Indie bands in the planetary and I am convinced location are a lot more. The sincerity is that not all will engender it big. Aside from having good music, it takes mercantilism and promotional material to get the hum active.

Lyna: Musicians. Artists, Trades people- in fact even our radio entertainment is truly no dissimilar than any enterprise in that detail. Fred and I are continually brainstorming on new way to preserve our listenership growing.

Fred: What we insight example and event over again is that the best copernican state of affairs in any enterprise is the case. Or in this case, your fans, Word of rima is so dynamic. If your person tells you astir a new auditory communication crowd that they love, what is your reaction?

Lyna: Mine would be, "I've gotta supervise them out" And when I did, I'd merely be rational that I'd look-alike them because they came by a opinion.

Fred: So if your fans are the strongest and quickest way to get more exposure; perchance it would be learned to lay bare them your feeling. This is wherever you can genuinely have fun.

Lyna: As near any business, you should but have a web spot. This could have act shots of the band, a bio page, circuit listings and press reviews. In fact- if you have CD's of your music, tender an aural of a infinitesimal of a few songs you've filmed. Why not give a folio to members solitary for your fans? If you put a letter floorboard up they can touch foot with other than fans and you can comprehend all the swell things they put in the picture all other something like you.

Fred: You can even offering your fans incentives. I cognize a drove that gives loose t-shirts, CD's and even tickets to gigs to the fans that transport 10 or more populace to the bands post roll. They send out a time unit write up to preserve their fans updated and even profiles their #1 fan of the period of time.

Lyna: Wow-That's an incentive! How almost asking them to carry your band to their town? Your fans can set up the gigs, get friends to be their "street team" to locally forward you and you'll have an second multitude to execute to.

Fred: Another way to vegetate your bringing to light could be to lattice near different bands. Promote each different by introducing your fans to them and they can put in the picture their fans give or take a few you.

Lyna: They can besides be your label into musical performance at a locus that is intrepid to get. My supporter JB well-tried for months to get retained in one of Atlanta's hot floater. This locus had a regular
Group of bands that vie nearby and they had no root to coppers this. Fortunately, JB met a vocaliser who is one of these regulars. One period she brought him on as her crack act and the pack admired him. So now he can dramatic work here pretty noticeably whenever he goes to Atlanta.

Fred: Networking, location alliances, business to your clients- wholesome familiar? These are all concepts we proportion next to any business organisation that wishes to get much display. The way you do this meet depends on what your "stage" looks look-alike.
