An example of an artist that promotes their albums and tours on websites is James Arthur. He has an official web site where the first page displays his latest album ' Back from the edge'. The album is shown on the first page because this way it covers the purpose of the website which is to promote the artist and their albums and tours. James Arthur also has a page after the one that displays his album where the tour dates and other information is written. Below is an example of one of James Arthur's albums. 'Back from the edge'.
James Arthur has promoted his tours and gigs on more than one website and these include two others such as : http://gigst.rs/JA and http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/James-Arthur-tickets/artist/1635973 .
This is a way to reach out to a wider target audience and to increase the chances of fans purchasing tickets for tours and/or gigs.

Another place where James Arthur has promoted his albums is on social networking sites such as Instagram. On his Instagram he has his profile picture of his latest album. By ding this even people who do not 'Follow' him can view his profile picture , therefore see his album.
Even on Twitter James Arthur's profile pic is of his new album.
As he has put his album cover on many social networking sites he has already promoted his product to many audiences.

We'd need more examples of bands and marketing on this post to see lots of different ways bands promote themselves - this is a good start but more detail and more examples required. Screen shot the instagram and websites so we can see straight away what you are referring to. The weblinks are good to keep but not everyone will want to click on them. This will also help make your blog more visual.
ReplyDeleteIf you have chosen James Arthur's song - then you will need to re-market him in a completely different way to what has already been done - read the brief. Also, the promo you do will need to be of a very different style to anything he has already created - almost filmed like a different genre.
ReplyDeleteI shall include some examples from the social networking sites such as Instagram and Twitter.
