However, there are times when you can take one of their ideas (or an idea from a related entertainment industry) and give it a small-scale spin.You know how the major film studios promote their new animated features by tying into fast food chain kid meals, such as the McDonald’s Happy Meal. Most likely, you won’t be able to land a nationwide Happy Meal deal. But you might be able to do something cool with a local deli or restaurant.I know a couple of radio disc jockeys in my town who have sandwiches or special meals named after them at certain eateries. Why couldn’t you do that? Especially if you perform regularly at a particular coffee shop, bar or restaurant.For example, if your band is called Sweet Potato Sunrise, approach a manager with the idea of offering a Sweet Potato Sunrise omelette, or a Sweet Potato Sunrise latte, or a Sweet Potato Sunrise daiquiri?You get the idea. The special name would get you exposure at the establishment whenever it’s open (hopefully, you’re item will be listed on the menu). Plus, you can use the unique promotional angle to get mentions in the local press.

Let your mind be free when surfing your favorite bands, etc. Think about the 80/20 Rule – 80 % PREPARATION / 20% PERSPERATION… Please don’t chase your tail here… - How to find relevant places to market? Where are these people I want to buy my music, where are they hangin' out, where are they going online to meet up with others just like you... And lastly, where is my target market buying their music, etc? The place / tools and easiest place to find them are Community / Social Sites such as twitter, facebook, MySpace, Reverbnation, YouTube, Blabbermouth.net, and on and on... You need to work these online marketing tools constantly and on a daily basis. Become known in your genre of music... Be innovative in the way you warm folks up so they’ll want to HOP ON OVER to your sales landing page. It could take up to 8 times to get people to your landing page before they buy something. In the meanwhile, you need to be collecting information and that starts with an opted - in email address. Dec 4, 2009, Highly respected blogger Louis Gray explains three steps towards building a robust social media marketing strategy:Highly respected blogger Louis Gray explains three steps towards building a robust social media marketing strategy: So business people are typically reluctant to change. It is the nature of the business to be conservative and to have some tendency to not adopt the latest and greatest items that are out there. Social media has this opportunity, for those who do it right and do it early, to step ahead of the competition, regardless of size. However, proceed with caution. You would want to make sure that you do it in the right way, that you approach the right people, and you say the right things. And so I always say there's really three steps. The first step is listening. You listen and see what people are saying about you, about your brand, about your industry. Second, you engage. You go through and try and talk with customers, and you participate there. And third is you try and show an ROI. How much activity took place? How much effort was there? Was it doing the right things, and did you get the results that you expected? Social networks might be free, but they do take some time and some effort. You clearly need to be active in each of these areas where your brand is being discussed. So whether that's on FriendFeed, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. You need to have the availability to know that these conversations are taking place, and then go there to participate. There are free tools online which help monitor for you. So you can set up your search terms. You can get alerts on Twitter. Alerts via email for comments that are set around the blogosphere. And that can be delivered directly to your email box. When you find these things, you can go and participate, instead of having to monitor around the clock to find out if your business and your brand is being mentioned.

Nov 28, 2009, Creativity in Artist Marketing, part 1Creativity in Artist Marketing, part 1by Brandon Green in Misc3 Comments »
You know what really grinds my gears? (You can ignore the Family Guy reference if you like.)
I feel like the striking majority of musicians these days are not embracing their creativity – not in the music itself (there are some phenomenal independent artists and bands breaking these days), but the marketing strategies used to promote their music. To be more specific, I’ve noticed quite a bit of resorting to the now-standard social media networks, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and the like. Using these tools presents a band that is completely transparent to its fan base and the media, but in doing so, you have to ask yourself:
1) Is publicizing your every move what you really want to do?
2) Is it going to help you stand out?

Nov 23, 2009, Lynch Mob is finally back for the attack with “Smoke and Mirrors” Listening Party Preview
Nov 11, 2009, Mortiis will be unleashing their collective demonsFREDRIKSTAD, Norway - Mortiis will be unleashing their collective demons on Holland and Belgium during a four-show jaunt to continental Europe.
"We're all looking forward to going back to Holland," said band namesake Mortiis. "We haven't played there in a long time and we always had a great time there. We're also doing a couple of towns there we haven't played before, so that will be interesting as well."
Following the three Dutch shows, the band will head to Belgium for the Hermes Project Event, where they will play with Clan of Xymox.
Mortiis has been putting the finishing touches on "The Great Deceiver," the group's long-awaited follow-up to 2005's "The Grudge." Tracks from the record can be heard - and seen - via the videos for "Doppelganger" and "Zeitgeist" on Mortiis's YouTube channel. Mortiis also promises to preview several new songs during the live shows.
"We're gearing up to release 'The Great Deceiver' at long last, and it felt like it would make sense to do a few shows before 2009 comes to an end," Mortiis said. "Shake the dust off and get back into the 'live mode,' so to speak. We obviously plan on coming back to Holland/Belgium and as many other countries as possible during 2010."
Live dates are as follow:
12/16/09 Wed. Zaandam, Kade - NL 12/17/09 Thu. Basement, Watt - NL 12/18/09 Fri. Leeuwarden, Gloppe - NL 12/19/09 Sat. Hermes Project Event, O C DeVonke, Heule - BE
