 Songsalive!
Promotional ideas for coordinators
Contacts:
Head office email
Online Help email
*
Create a press release
(Showcase
template here /
Workshop template here). Most of you do this as part of routine, but just
a reminder!
*
Send to HQ for
approval
!!! before promoting.
Email it to Gilli at gilli@songsalive.org
Only if it’s your first time.
If you are a regular event
coordinator, go to step 1.
*
Spread the word,....
as follows.
Send your press
release out for several weeks leading up to your event.
1. EVERY MONTH Send to
Dave at
online@songsalive.org – at least 1 week before the event,
so we can send out to our new Master Email list (just to your region). This is
the FIRST priority
2.
Send to contacts
you know,
including songwriters, music industry reps, fans of music and local media.
3.
Send to our
discussion list eNotes.
4500+
songwriters from around the world. Email
songsalive@yahoogroups.com. This is moderated and distributed (released)
every Monday night. Your press release can be sent there any time during the
week, but note the release day. We suggest sending this for about 3 weeks
leading up to your event. (i.e 3 Mondays).
If you are not subscribed to eNotes, send a blank email to
songsalive-subscribe@yahoogroups.com, or go to
www.songsalive.org/community to subscribe, then you can Post.
4. send
to other lists,
yahoogroups, and online PR groups.
Need help? I have media and group listings. Just email me at
gilli@songsalive.org
5. Use your
Myspace page
blogs and bulletins
- If you have a Songsalive! MySpace page, be sure to spread the word. If you'd
like a Myspace page for your chapter, email Dave at
online@songsalive.org and Download this
Songsalive! MySpace set up page.
Other tips
We suggest you
send us a
list of emails
you
have on file, also, to add to our master email list so they get the press
release when we send it out. We do not share the emails with any third party.
It's just to promote your event.

Be up to date with what Songsalive! is about. You
can read about us here, or click on the file below to
download a doc.
* Make sure
our website
is up to date
with your event.
www.songsalive.org/chapters and click on your city. Make sure we've listed
your event properly on the calendar
www.songsalive.org/calendar.
Email Gilli with any additions or changes.
7. Check
the calendar is up to date.
Go to
www.songsalive.org/calendar and remind yourselves of the events so you can
be prepared, support and uplift. Make sure the calendar is accurate, and if not,
email
Online Help to change it. Your event should also be on our
eNotes calendar (different to what you see on the website, but it's mirrored
from the
web calendar). We have it set to remind the
eNotes subscribers 3 days before your events. If your event is recurring (eg
last sundays), we will have set that up for you in advance. The calendar
reminders do not show artist names. Just generic info for each month that is the
same. You need to
send your press release to eNotes to be accurate.
