Marketing Strategies - MCTZ

What did i miss out?
  • Getting well respected reviewers that would enjoy the music to review the artist
  • Hosting Internet forums to spark debate about the artist
  • Free Promotions.
  • Radio Advertising
  • Smaller Local gigs, possible free.
  • PR Stunts
  • Less mainstream guest appearances

What did i learn?
  • the importance of a key marketing image
  • that it is possible to think of marketing ideas other than normal ones, such as film appearences etc.
  • advertising can be cheap and home produced
  • accessories can help sell an artist
  • it can be good to have a novelty item such as a pimp cane or tiny top hat.
  • it is important to have an individuality to an artist without isolating them from an existing fan base.
  • album covers are important to promote both the music and the mentality of the artist.
