Word of Mouth Rules

This is why we do street teams. The best form of advertising is word of mouth:

According to a recent Nielson survey:

…while traditional media still makes its mark on consumers, the most powerful determinant behind purchasing decisions for a whopping 78% of respondents is word of mouth.

78%… that is a LOT. And that’s why street teams can be such a valuable tool to musicians and bands. Street teams put word of mouth in the hands of your fans and those fans take it to their friends and family and make other fans who take the word and put it in the ears of their friends and family and so on and so on and so on…

More about the Nielson findings can be found here:

Advertising? Forget It. Word of Mouth Reigns!

Truly Affordable Custom Websites for Bands and Musicians

I just saw a bulletin on MySpace of a group that offers custom website design at “affordable” rates for bands and musicians. I looked at their prices and was in shock! A three-page website for $750 is not what I would call “affordable.”

For those of you who aren’t in the know, Sunrise Promotions will do a custom basic website design with 6 pages (home, shows/tour, bio, music/downloads, gallery, and contact) and it will cost you a lot less: $225 (MUSICIANS AND BAND RATE ONLY). And that comes with free hosting, free custom email addresses, a news updating tool, a shows updating tool, a message board, streaming MP3 player and a Flash media player. For $100 more, you can get a Flash animated header and/or navigation added to the site.

Or even better, if you’re looking for that “wow” factor and want a site done completely in Flash, let us know, because we can do that as well (although it will cost a bit extra since building a site in Flash is time consuming).

We can also help you set up a shop on your website to sell your merchandise, CD’s and MP3′s.

And the best part? The site will not only be user-friendly, but it will also look good, too. Take a look at some of our work:

Why do we do the work so cheap for musicians? Because we know that being an independent musician means living on a very tight budget. We also think that a website is probably the most important part of a musician’s or band’s promotional efforts and want to make sure that you have the opportunity to get a good site without breaking the bank.

Interested? Send us a message here on MySpace or an e-mail to robin@sunrise-promotions.com – we’d love to build a web presence for you!
