FANS…

 

Fans are the greatest form of advertisement for an artist, entertainer, small business and more.  When you connect, intrigue, capture the attention who turns out to love what you do or have to offer, build a sincere connection with them…I still believe that word of mouth is still the most effective way to grow you audience, consumers, and true fans.

 

I know that I come from a different generation of fans, where we would get on the phone and talk about meet up at a location, show, concert, or venue.  Now we are supposedly more connected through the internet, yet I feel we are more disconnected because the social medias control the algorithm and there is so much going on with social media that I know that I miss a lot and others miss what I post.  I do still think that social media is important when it comes to promoting but this is when I believe we need to get creative and utilize the people that like and appreciate what we have created to help us spread the word. 

Back in the day, there used to be what we called Street Teams—They would help to do the leg work in spreading the word—through handing out handbills to putting them on telephone polls and cars.  Those people were huge in spreading the word and would get free entry to the event, acknowledgement through shoutouts and other signs of appreciation. 

But those that love what you do and have to offer are your best people to build relationships with to help you spread the word amongst their friends, family, network and social media following.

 

What could you do to create real relationships with those that love what you do? 

• Shoutouts at the event and or social media
• Product, such as T-Shirts
• Seated in a VIP section at an event
• Create An Incentive

Build your own Street Team and encourage them to help you grow your audience and or consumer by them telling their “Why” they support you to their people. 

 

Get Creative!  Your FANS are your BEST form of Advertisement!
