Virtual CD Release Tour is a CD sales event!

Virtual CD Release Tour is a CD media event!

"What if you could use one unique event to connect with your fans and help you get even more fans?"

Virtual CD Release Tour is an interactive fan contact event!

Setting up a CD Release tour can be expensive.

So, why not fund the tour or your new recording from the comfort of your own home?

Why not talk to all of your fans while they are in the comfort of their own homes?

Why not make your CD Release Tour a Virtual one and create a unique event that your fans will talk about to their friends and help you build new fans?

You've worked hard to build your fan-base.

Now let's put your mailing list to work for you using a new strategy that will get their attention, cost them nothing to participate and make it even easier for them to buy your new release-immediately.

It's an Interview

Virtual CD Release Tour gives your fans access to you in an interview-style event that is specifically set up to sell your new CD directly to your fans.

Virtual CD Release Tour plans your fan's experience.

Multiple, advance invitation emails are designed to create an excitement to sign up for the event, directs your fans to a special event details page and then reminds them about the event with strategically timed follow-up emails.

The customized detail page offers your fans a chance to:

  • Submit questions they've always wanted to ask
  • Link to any special offers or give-away gifts
  • Link to CD Sales Pages on your site or your CD sales site.
  • Link to Song Download Sales Pages or Sales Sites

Each event is customized with your unique audience in mind. We consider your target or niche audience and plan their experience for their age, interests, occupation and concerns.

The key to your success is our marketing know-how, to connect you more directly with your audience, so you sell more CDs prior to, during and after the event.

The Benefits of Virtual CD Release Tour:

  • Sell more CDs
  • Create a unique event for your audience
  • Eliminate non-recoupable travel expenses
  • Eliminate competition: you are inviting YOUR fans
  • Include band members, producers, engineers, guest performers in the interview, from their own homes
  • Invite your media or booking contacts to a unique media event-sure to get them talking and writing about you
  • Use your Myspace, FaceBook and other social networking sites to drive new fans to your event; your site; your mailing list; your sales page
  • Stream the audio replay of the event on your websites or blogs for even more sales after the event

Your Virtual CD Release Tour in 5 Easy Steps

  1. Plan the Event and Set the Date
  2. Compile Your Mailing List of Fans
  3. Create the Email Messages, Set up the Event Page
  4. Send the Emails
  5. Attend the Event

Let me ask you-how many people are on your mailing list?

Do you have 33 people on your mailing list that would buy a CD from you?

Of course you do! 33 people to buy 1 CD each at $15-That's all it takes to have a Virtual CD Release Tour event!

Did you get out your calculator? What did you come up with? Check it again. Still came up with 33 x $15?

Where can you buy this kind of marketing, sales and promotion for under $500?

Unbelievable! And we do all the work! You, your band, your guests just dial in and show up and your fans can either call in or just listen online, right on the event page.

Did I hear you laugh? You have how many thousands on your list? Great! After 33 people buy those first 33 CDs you are making money, profit, in the black! Could this be the easiest CD Release you've ever done?

Okay! Let's Review!

  1. Plan the Event and Set the Date
    Together, we plan the event, set the date and talk about your fans and your target audience to maximize your connection.

  2. Compile Your Mailing List of Fans
    You gather your email lists from your social networking sites, your database, your email services and we decide which service we'll use to send our strategic invitations. I have some services I can recommend that may make your future email campaigns easier and more cost effective. Or we can use your email service. I help you prepare the mailings for maximum results.

  3. Create the Email Messages, Set up the Event Page
    I write the email invites and follow-up messages. I set up the event, the details page, create and plan the links to sales pages, downloads or special offers. (We may need your web designer or mine for some pages.)

  4. Send the Emails
    I send the emails and follow-up messages at specific intervals to maximize the response and attendance.

  5. Attend the Event
    You, and your guests who might be speaking at the event, call in to a special phone number. Your fans and media contacts call in to a guest phone number.

    Up to 200 people can dial in OR up to 2000 of your fans and guests can listen online, to the live event. (We can increase the numbers for an additional cost if many more sign up in advance.)

    The event will be recorded. You get the recording to stream on your website, your Myspace, YouTube, Facebook or StumbleUpon and any other pages or blogs, to help drive more fans to your site and your CD sales page.
