What Is Indie Promoter?
Filed Under | Leave a Comment
Indie Promoter is a music publicty service that will pitch you and your music to over 400 music magazines, newpapers, fanzines, ezines and blogs with the objective of landing reviews, features, and interviews. We sincerely feel that Indie Promoter is the best service of its kind for independent musicians trying to promote their music on a limited budget.
How It Works
The Following is a step by step breakdown of how Indie promoter works.
1. Once you have purchased Indie Promoter your publicity campaign will begin. You will be assigned a publicity agent who will contact you via email within 24 hours. Your agent will be in direct contact with you throughout the campaign, a “real person” who will be happy to answer questions and guide you through the process.
2. While we guarantee we will pitch your music to a minimum of 400 publications, Indie Promoter has an enormous database of over 2000 publications spanning every genre imaginable. You will be asked to answer a few questions about your music so that we can tailor your campaign to be genre specific.
3. Next we will provide you with several examples of professional pitch letters. Using these examples as your template, you will be instructed on how to write the first draft of your query letter. Once you have done so, email your draft to us. We will then review and edit it. Once we are both happy with the pitch letter and you approve the final draft, we will submit your letter via email to hundreds of publications that review independent music. All emails will be sent via a dedicated mail server under your name and email address. If you do not want to write your pitch letter we offer a pitch letter writing service as well.
4. You should start to receive feedback within 1 – 2 days, sometimes even hours, from music editors and journalists who are interested in reviewing your material. You should have press kits (CD, bio, press clippings, etc) on hand and ready to be sent out to all interested parties immediately. A digital press kit is an additional way to expedite the process as well as save money on supplies and shipping. If you do not have either of these, a web site or even a Myspace page will also work. If you are unsure about what to do, that’s okay. We will guide you through this step. Additionally we also offer a press kit design service.
5. Finally you will receive conformation that your pitch letter has been submitted along with a list of all the publications that your letter was sent to. You are advised to promptly follow up with all interested parties, sending any material to those who request it, answering questions, etc.
As we all know, music is subjective and as such results will vary. That being said, we feel that Indie Promoter is a tremendous value for the price and many clients have achieved incredible results with our service. We will be available each step of the way to answer questions and guide you through the process. We are musicians too so we know what you are up against. Let us know how we can help.
