Do It Yourself Ideas For Band Recognition

By: Kris Ann

The music industry is tough. If you have a band and you love to play then maybe all you need is a little more attention. Wherever you want to go with music you have to start with that love of playing and keep that close to your heart. There are local places to play and get paid if that is what you are after. Playing for parties and in night clubs can lead to bigger things. You need to have something that fans can hold on to. If you created your own line of promotional products then it would get you a lot of publicity.

There are tons of items that you can have customized for your band. If you are buying primarily to sell to fans then you will probably want something for people to wear. When you have your picture and your logo on some clothing it gets seen by other people. That is a good marketing plan. You sell the shirt or hat to cover the cost and then you get the free advertising. If you look online you will find some promotional type company's. They will tell you what they need from you to create products for you.

A great way to get new gigs is by giving out promotional flashdrives. They can be made with your logo or whatever you want on the outside like any other promo product. On the inside you can store and show off whatever you like. No more tired CD recordings with a picture stuck in the front. You can show the footage of an entire concert if you want to on one of these. You could sell these to fans as well. When the club owners see this they will know whether or not they are interested in your band.

If you don't have a lot of visual recordings yet, don't panic. With the cameras of today it is a cheap option. All you need is someone with a steady hand to do some recording. If you have a computer geek close to the band, like a brother or sister, they can edit what you record to keep it from being too static and boring.

You can use these ideas to get more band attention and to make more money. Playing music is awesome and even better when you get paid for it. The more that people see your band name around town the more familiar it will become. If you have a regular gig at one bar you could ask them to team up on some products to get costs down. Whatever works!
