Peter Tanham of Amp Music Marketing writes, “When we start working with any musician, two of the most important goals we start with are:

    1.) Build a strong mailing list
    2.) Build a popular Facebook page

Fans are going to be more comfortable interacting with the artist through these mediums, and they are also the ones that drive the most sales.”

Highlights from this article include:

  • The importance of Facebook Ads

  • Implementing effective Facebook Ads

  • 1.) If You Like Those Guys…  it’s called a “power play,” pick musicians that are similar to your style and pay to be played to their fans.

    2.) Building A Good Landing Page: make sure your Facebook ad redirects them to a customized landing page which will encourage them to click the “like” button with some incentive to hear or get your music. Make sure it is the most similar sounding music to the artist you referred to in the “power play.”

    3.) Target Your Ads… and run multiple campaigns!

    4.) Ask Questions. Encourage Clicks and Likes - (reference pseudo ad image on the left).

    In brief: “The West Beach Music & Arts Festival 2010 will be a 4 day celebration of Music, Arts, & the California Beach Culture. The festival will host 2 days of multi-stage, fun-in-the-sun activities at Chase Palm Park at the beach, 4 days of multi-venue nightlife activities and concerts in downtown Santa Barbara, and 2 days of multi-vessel sunset cruises and concerts on the pacific ocean, out of the beautiful Santa Barbara Harbor.

    The festival can only accommodate less than half of last year’s attendees. Unfortunately, with many fixed-costs associated with the festival (Fencing, Stages, Equipment Rentals, etc), ticket prices will have to be increased from our desired pricing of $45-$55/ticket to $55-$65/ticket.”
