How To Promote Music Event
Music event promotion is not limited to selling event tickets online on specialized websites. It is more about a big splash that you are able to create around your event.
It is necessary to use all possible tools and create a good ad campaign. Prepare quality bios, photos, video materials, printed and digital posters for your band or promo group. Ask graphic designers to assist you with visual content, coz your look is as important as your sound.
In order to reach media, releases on the event should be included in event planning. Plan ahead by resolving exactly who you want to reach and how you want to reach your target audience. Build a promo package and send to local newspapers and radio stations that advertise local events. Provide all needed including location, time and ticket price.
As the show comes closer, keep communication with the press open. Send a few emails to your mailing list reminding of the event. Send some messages on social media and see if you can get a local journalist interested in writing about the show.
One great way to engage journalist to your show is to offer spots on the guest list. Let journalist in even if you can't convince them to run a review of the show in advance. Good reputation builds more than in one day.
