NEW ARTIST CAMPAIGN

OFFICIAL RELEASE PLAN!!

State your goal, when you plan to achieve it, and how you plan to reach the goal. Give yourself a good timeline to be able to research or prepare the necessary details. Once you have narrowed this down, then everything else will fall into place.

Audience:

Next, we’ll move on to Discovering Your Audience and Market. This is a critical part of your plan, since it’s good to understand where the fans are that listen to the type of music you create, since these could be potential fans. We will narrow these down to:

• Location

• Age

• Income Level

• How do they listen to music?

This information will be important for you to know and understand, since it will help in creating tours, searching for media support and more.

You can also consider looking at similar artists as yourself and do a bit of research where they are popular. Some great tools for getting this information can be:

• Spotify to discover similar artists.

• Facebook Insights

• YouTube video statistics

• Twitter demographics

• Google Analytics

Potential:

Strengths

• Knowing your strong suits are important. This gives you an opportunity to list key past successes and milestones.

• You can add past sales, gigs, awards, etc

Areas of Improvement

• Everyone can improve on something in one way or another. It is important to be honest with yourself but don’t give it too much time and thought. Remember, the goal for your marketing plan is to achieve your goals.

• You should address each challenge that you are currently facing or foresee. Once you state each challenge, come up with a solution for each or how you are going to neutralize them.

Opportunities

• Think of your opportunities as things you can definitely accomplish. Your opportunities should be tangible but make sure you don’t spread yourself too thin.

Goals & Objectives

• Setting the goals for the next 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years is standard.

• Each goal should state what you want to achieve, when you want to, and how you will measure your success

• The best way to execute this is creating a chart or calendar where you can add all of your dates and what you need in order to achieve each.

Budgeting

• Taking your music career to the next level is very similar to growing a new business in any other industry. It takes a lot of patience, time, and money to see results.

Track your Progress

• Tracking your progress is very important. It helps you to know what you’ve accomplished so far and what you have left to work on.

Audience

• Knowing your audience is crucial. Artists who really know their audience are going to stand out. The industry is always changing.

• You may think your audience is everyone who comes across your brand and/or music but it isn’t. People who come to your shows and invest time and money are. The key things to know about your audience are gender, age, location, and income levels. It is also helpful to know how they discover new music, what other types of events they attend, favorite social network, and what platforms they use for music.

Analyze the lifestyle

• Plenty of artists are starting to dedicate more time to this concept. This concept is important because it affects all of the other aspects of the marketing plan. Lifestyle marketing makes you think about the best marketing options to get your message across to fans. It is very important to understand your fans and their lifestyle preferences.
