Concert Promotion
Please accept the information below as a guide offering suggestions for publicizing a concert and encourage maximum attendance and success!
Some of the recommendations may not be appropriate for your type of concert. While some of the concepts may be obvious, others may be new but worthy of a try.
I will cover the aspects of flyer/poster concert promotion and a few tips for media promotion..
Firstly, the single most importand thing when you want to promote a concert is to start delegating duties and make sure helpers know what's expected of them.
So let's start!
[Flyers and Posters]
It's importand to have a well designed, eye-catching flyer or poster. It will show people that the concert deserves their anticipation, time and money.
The artist's management may provide you with some flyers or posters to start with.
If you prefer to create your own flyer or poster, you should find a graphics professional or pronting company willing to donate services in exchange for advertising..
If it's the first time the artist is coming to your town or city be sure to include a testimonial on the flyer or poster. A flyer that simple advertises an artist or a band will mean nothing to someone who has never heard of them!
Assign volunteers to post the flyers in places likely to attract the most attention. Try grocery stores, local chamber of Commerce offices, Art Councils or other communities, malls, shoping plazas, music stores, book stores, galleries and other popular gathering spots where flyers are displayed routinely but be sure to ask for permission before posting.
Do not forget to post the flyers or posters to the concert location itself! Try to hang posters as close to the average eye level as possible..
[Media and other sources of publicity]
List the concert in community calendars, Newspaper, Magazines or radio and TV stations if possible. Radio and Tv stations may be willing to anounce events for free.
Be sure to notice them many weeks in advance. In the listing include the date of the concert, time, location, ticket price, ticket outlets, sponsors of course and phone numbers for information.
Ask promotional material from the artist's managementslike interviews, video clips, song samples, photographs etc. Try to deliver the material to the media along with the news release anouncing the concert.
Make sure you follow up by phone. Ask from the management to arrange an interview with the artist(s) if possible. Discuss other possibilities.
Provide artist's promo material (if available) to radio stations likely to air it. Encourage them to play it often especially a week or two before the concert. Have volunteers and friends telephone the stations and request more..!
If you are using an answering machine make a recording using sound clips from the artist. Advertise the phone numbers available to call in newspapaer or on the radio. Include a short message in the recordings detailing concert info.
When you are online, subscribe to any music-related newsgroups or bulletin boards. Post messages about your anticipation, plans and later, show specific information! Of course if you own a website, consider creating a special area to advertise the concert with a hot-link to the artist's home page (if any).
Ask from the media to co-sponsor (sharing in work or revenues) or to endorse the concert for publicity purposes. If they say 'YES' then make sure you include a '..co-sponsored by..' message in the flyers and other promotional material..

Promote Your Concert
How well attended was your last concert? If you were playing to an empty hall or your band outnumbered the attendees, you need to promote your concert in a big way!
Consider all the advertising avenues available to promote your concert...
On-line promotion sites...
There are many of them on-line. Do a search for "concert promotion" or "event publicity" and you will find several.
Set up your own web site...
If you don't have your own site, set up a Blogger blog. These are free and easy to use, and you have an instant URL to provide to the public. If you've got an additional 9 or 10 bucks, register a domain name and redirect it to the Blogger blog.
Provided detailed directions to the site venue. Include parking information and any traffic snafus that your audience might encounter on the way.
Make a Youtube video...
Youtube is one of the most visited sites on the planet. Even a basic video with info about the concert will work. A sneak peek of the show might pull in more fans, too!
Put up a Myspace page...
Myspace is hot, especially with young people.
Don't forget Squidoo...
Google loves Squidoo.
Issue a press release...
Try this site...
Webwire.com
It costs $19, but the big Search Engines (including Google) love it, probably because the charge keeps the junk out.
Radio stations...
A well-placed ad can be heard by more people than you might think, especially during "drive times." Your advertising budget will dictate how much you can spend and which station you can use, but don't be afraid to contact all the stations in your area. They might have some leftover air time you can pick up cheap.
Television...
Local cable stations are a bargain. Local network affiliates often feature community bulletin boards.
Newspapers...
Local papers often have a section where your event can be listed for free.
Flyers...
These are effective when posted on high-traffic-area bulletin boards, such as you find on college campuses. Avoid placing flyers in places that can get you in trouble, such as on car windshields. Local businesses might put them in their windows for you.
Word of mouth...
If your group has a lot of members, such as a high school band, challenge everyone to invite at least five people. 100 members x 5 invitees = 500 people in your crowd!
Miscellaneous...
Make T-shirts advertising the event.
Get car magnets for your vehicles.
Put a big sign on a parked vehicle in a conspicuous place.
Promote your concert and pull in a huge crowd as well as big ticket receipts!

Creative Concert Promotion
Don't know how to promote a concert? Well that's probably not unusual because there really isn't one method you can use for each concert or event. Concert promoters make a fortune doing this for a living so certainly you can't expect my humble little price of the internet to be able to tell all, but I can offer some tips and ideas.
I used to promote seminars, not really concerts but when I helped a friends band get some publicity and promotion it seemed to work. I got some new tips from a book and they seemed to help to.
First - think about who your target audience is. What other concerts / gigs / events would they go to? We gave out flyers at other gigs in the area where other bands in the same musical style played. Hence our target audience was there and an easy target. One of the bands even announced our concert for us at the end of the set.
Second - flyers. Okay, I should have made this the first point - I was just testing you!. Try to put them up / hand them out where your target audience will see them (take a hint from the first tip) and make sure you don't just litter the place and aren't posting them anywhere illegal. Make sure they will stand out, so colour is good, but expensive. You will be able to get many more leaflets / flyers out there if you buy black and white. It may be an idea to go to the local college and see if you can get a graphic design student to design a leaflet for you in exchange for free tickets.
Thirdly - get on the web. Myspace has a great music section, and it can't hurt to promote your concert here. Maybe link to a Youtube video of your band playing, or put clips from your last performance if you have a video of the event.
Fourthly - most local papers have a what's on guide or events page. Make sure you have a listing here which is often free. Is your concert newsworthy in any way? Try contacting the paper to see if they will do a write up. Are you playing for a charity or worthy event? Are there any unusual circumstances around the gig? On a slow news day the paper may just get your photo in the paper and give a small write up. Try getting a free mention on the radio as well.
Fifth - Alice Copper was played in London. To promote the gig he had a big truck drive around with an advertising board on the back. The truck "happened" to break down right in the middle of London, and caused traffic jams that made the news. People in the UK saw a big picture of Alice Cooper right on there TV screen, and soon everybody knew Alice was playing a concert in the UK. Now, I don't suggest you do this, but be creative. What about putting stickers promoting your event on coins, pasting flyers to your vehicle and leaving it parked in a busy car park where lots of people will see it. Try putting stickers on any mail you send out - you'd probably be surprised how many pairs of hands that mail goes through!
I think that is enough for know to wet your appetite. As a final thought, think about your budget. It is very easy to spend a lot of money promoting a concert if you don't know how. I've learned from some of my mistakes which is why I bought the book - I try to learn from other people's mistakes these days.
If you really want to know how to promote a concert and get the full range of techniques I suggest taking a look at the book as well.
Be careful not to lose money when promoting your concert - it's easy to lose money on advertising If you're willing to invest a small amount of money to make sure things go well I can recommend taking a look at the following resource on my blog:
