Monday Morning Memo 4/3/06

I have been exchanging emails with several clients today and the following is a random "To Do" list of ideas discussed:
  • Create a discount coupon (10% - 20% off) the total purchase of your CD, DVD, or band merch.
  • Offer a free downloadable single.
  • Produce a single with 2 alternate mixes.
  • Record a five song EP.
  • Record a live performance and stream it on your website.
  • Donate a reasonable quantity of your CD to a charity.
  • Perform at a benefit concert.
  • Schedule an acoustic in store performance.
  • Start booking spring and summer festivals.
  • Put together plans to release a Christmas song or full holiday CD.
  • Create a new item of merchandise (other than a T-shirt).
  • Manufacture "Little Black Books" for giveaways at your shows. On page 1, have your contact info and web address.
  • Go retro -- release a collectable 7 inch vinyl picture disc.

Hopefully, these ideas will create a little stimuli for you. The alternative to jump starting your brain -- drink an extra large Starbucks House Blend coffee and book a 30 or 60 minute consultation call with me.
