How To Promote Your Band

You did it! You found a few other humans to make beautiful music with AND you’ve got a gig. Whether it’s in your mom’s basement or an actual venue, it’s time to get ready and get people there. Here’s how:

• SPREAD THE WORD: socials are important, sure, but nothing beats real life. Post your show posters throughout the city, in shared public spaces like libraries and art centers, and in local businesses like coffee shops and other places you go. It never hurts to ask if you can post a flier — carry them with you and ask wherever you go.
  
  You can design your own fliers by hand, level up and hire one of our designers to do it for you, or find something that works for you online. Any way you choose works, just make sure to add all the details and make them eyeball-worthy.
  
  NEED POSTERS? Order those here before Labor Day or here forever.
  NEED POSTCARDS? (these are great for leaving on counters!)? Get ’em here before Labor Day or here forever.

• GET YOUR MUSIC READY: Record it at home, get your friend with some mics in his basement to hook you up, or book a studio — whatever level you choose, we just know it’s going to be great.
  
  MAKING A TAPE? Order j-cards here before Labor Day or here forever.
  PRESSING VINYL? We can print the inserts.

• DOWNLOAD CODES AND QR CODES: If you don’t want to produce a physical album, or don’t have the time, no problem. Print a small card to hand out at your shows with your band name, URL if you have one, and social handles. Business cards are the perfect size for this.
  
  NEED TO GET THOSE? Order business cards here.

Also, if you’re reading this before Labor Day, don’t forget our Summer of Specials is still going. You can save a bunch with Artist Bundles and our specials — so don’t wait. And good luck at the show!
