MANAGEMENT
We offer management and all that encompasses it. Be sure the check out our individual management services unless you’re interested in full artist management.
ARTIST DEVELOPMENT
You may think you know what you’re doing, but if you’re interested in taking the RIGHT steps into becoming a succesful band, we’d love to work with you! Financial solutions, booking, marketing, creative development, merchandise management, distribution, networking connections to the right individuals - it’s all part of our Artist Development program. We want to help make you a better, stronger, smarter band.
BRAND/THEME DEVELOPMENT
Before you take your band or business to the “next level” or before you begin to “market” youself, you need a strong, original and aesthetic brand. You need to look professional when conducting business online or when promoting your band or business. We specialize in Branding and Creative Development which ranges from a simple logo design, to applying a common “theme” throughout your entire media (website, print work, business cards, promotional media, etc.)
MERCH MANAGEMENT
Do you know where some of the most popular touring bands make all their money? Do you know where some of the smallest local bands make all their money? Not from promoters or venues. Not from online cd sales. Not from their tip jar. MERCHANDISE!!!! TEES!!!! HOODIES!!! STICKERS!!! BUTTONS!!!! TOTE BAGS!!!! POSTERS!!!! ETC! Merch sales are where you make your money! You can’t have enough merch at a big show.
Pricing, merch trackers, style of merch, brands, promotional media to grab the fans attention… This is where so many bands fail and don’t capitalize on all the money they could be making from their merchandise! Let iMINABAND help you get your merch table in order and start making some money at all these shows you’re playing!
BOOKING
It’s not easy to book a tour, every band knows that. It takes years of experience and tons of connections to book a succesful tour whether it’s for 1 week or 6 months! Aside from booking it, you have to worry about travel expenses, housing accomodations, gear, food etc, etc,. Let iMINABAND book the tour for you! We have those years of experience and those connections all over the country. We’ve booked week long tours for un signed artists, and 6 month college circuit tours for signed artists! We know how to book a successfull tour where you’ll see profit in the end.
MARKETING & ONLINE PRESENCE
In todays “Minute to Minute” culture, the way you market your band or business is extremely important. Someone surfing the internet has about 5 seconds to convince themeselves to check your band or business out, then they’re off to the next profile. iMINABAND’s services are directly related to all types of Marketing and Online Presence Solutions so we know first hand how to help you out. From popular networking websites, to the way your band or business appears online, to simple techniques to keep in touch with your fans or customers - we know it all and we know how to make it happen for you.
RETAIL & DISTRIBUTION
It’s so easy to sell your record online. It’s not easy to sell your record in stores around the country, or online internationally. We have the capabilities to make this happen! Whether you’re simply looking for an online release at all the major online retailers including iTunes, CD Baby, Rhapsody, Amazon etc., or if you have an album you want to push in stores locally or around the country.
RADIO PLAY
Think everyone listens to ipods and myspace and that the radio is dying?! THINK AGAIN! Radio play is still the #1 boost in the careers of recording and touring artists. No amount of myspace friends or tours booked comes close to the importance of radio play in the eyes of major labels and industry reps. We can help you with that!
PRESS KITS
One of the many services we offer to bands/artists are CUSTOM PRESS KIT MAGAZINES. Custom - because each band, artist or company requires a different approach to the design and layout of their press kit which will be representing them - but all the press kit’s we design are generally similar in specifications. 8.5” x 11” folded and stapled (magazine style), full color, gloss and full bleed. An actual page or panel is 5” wide by 8” tall. We can send you samples if you’re interested. For each press kit we design, we also supply the customer with an online PDF version of it so they can send a link to potential buyers or reps. Similar to an EPK or Electronic Press Kit.
