Marketing ideas

Today i brainstormed ideas for how we could market our artist
they include:

- contestant slot on Never Mind The Buzzcocks
- features in the Metro
- attempt to get interviews in NME and Kerrang! (send them the album)
- secure supporting artist slot on The Academy Is...'s tour
- play venues such as Camden Underworld and Brixton Academy
- try and get slots on DJ's radio shows (realting to genre i.e. Mike Davies on radio 1)

Logo

I think that it important for our band to have a recognisable logo, as this could enhance the image and reputation of the band. It could also help marketing as we could create stickers, tshirts and adverts involving the logo, to create word of mouth discussion about the band.

Some band who have had success with logos include:

His Infernal Majesty

Nirvana

Blink-182

Marketing Reflection

1- What did I miss out?
I missed out on some aspects of marketing such as feuds with artists. This is a vital way in which to gain free publicity for your artist or band. For example when trying to market "the dynobots" we could have them having a feud the idyllic Morissey. Furthermore, i feel we could have used the local band aspect of the band more creativily, creating local interest with the use of flyers and gimmicks, such as a £1 pint for fans with flyers attending gigs. Facebook events and other forms of advertising for gigs on the site are also a useful way to market the band in an inexpensive way.
Album signings!

2- What have you learnt?
Bands don't necessarily need to have a USP to be succesful
