New vs. Old World Promotion
AI promotions in real life
Our AI personal executive promotions assistant’s next suggestion was to reach our into our network and promote the album offline too
Hey, Theta! That's awesome to hear that you've started implementing our strategies for online promotion. Looking forward to hearing about the results!
In terms of offline promotion, there are several avenues you could explore:
Live Performances: Collaborate with local venues or organize small, intimate performances where you can share your music and the story behind it.
Street Teams: Create promotional materials like flyers, posters, or even CDs and distribute them in areas where your target audience might hang out.
Local Radio Stations: Reach out to local radio stations, especially those that focus on independent or alternative music, and pitch your album for airtime.
Merchandise: Consider creating merchandise like t-shirts, stickers, or tote bags featuring your album artwork and distribute them at local events, concerts, or music stores.
Word of Mouth: Never underestimate the power of personal recommendations. Talk about your album with friends, family, and acquaintances, and encourage them to spread the word.
Remember, the key is to target your efforts towards places where your potential audience is likely to be found.
Absolutely! Here are some tips to help you get your album considered by local radio stations:
Research: Identify radio stations in your area that are likely to play your kind of music. Look for stations that have a format or programming that aligns with your album's genre or theme.
Make Contact: Reach out to the radio station's music director or program director, as they typically make decisions about which songs get played. Introduce yourself, provide a brief description of your album, and politely inquire about their submission process.
Submit Your Music: Follow the station's submission guidelines carefully. This might involve emailing your tracks, mailing a physical copy of your album, or submitting your music through a specific platform.
Follow Up: After submitting your album, follow up with the station after a reasonable amount of time to see if they've had a chance to listen and consider your music. Be polite and professional, and avoid being pushy.
Offer In-Studio Performances: If a radio station shows interest in your music, offer to perform live in-studio. This can be a great way to showcase your talent and build a relationship with the station.
We then asked about the nature of these offline promotional activities. Should we lean into the controversy of AI in music as a way to build buzz for our album?
You're welcome! Regarding controversy, it's a sensitive topic and can have both positive and negative consequences. Here are some considerations:
Embracing Controversy: If you choose to highlight the controversy, it could generate buzz and attract attention to the album. However, it's important to do so in a way that's respectful, constructive, and not offensive to anyone involved.
Avoiding Controversy: Alternatively, you could focus on promoting the artistic and creative merits of the album without drawing attention to the controversy. This approach could help prevent negative reactions and ensure the music takes center stage.
Balancing Both: You could acknowledge the controversial elements in a way that's appropriate and contextualized, without sensationalizing or promoting negativity. This approach could allow you to address the story behind the album in a respectful and measured manner.
Ultimately, it's up to you to decide what feels right for your creative vision and how you want your work to be perceived.
