By Sarah Campbell


When it comes to music, many fans have no idea how hard their favorite artistes work in order to get recognized. While simple performances in night clubs are the order of the day for many bands, few actually know about the money making potential that performing in corporate events has. For your band to become a favorite among event planners, you ought to change your strategy among other things.

A vast majority of event planners have a preference for established bands when looking for talent. If you are part of a band that remains unknown after many years in the industry, you may be taking the wrong approach towards getting noticed. Thanks to the internet, there are tons on sites that specifically deal with event bookings.

Look for one that you think is legit and post your portfolio on it. In this case, you may record a video demo and upload it. When looking for performers, planners hired by corporate organizations may see the value in what you are offering.

Another important thing to do is ensuring you create an active presence on social media for your band. If you are fully convinced that you have followers who adore your work, ask them to follow the updates you give online. The hype surrounding your work will eventually reach event companies. Also ensure you post new videos on popular streaming sites regularly.

Furthermore, you should not find it hard to judge the preferences corporate personalities are likely to have. With the ambiance generally casual, a company event stands a high chance of hosting several reserved people. If most of the songs you sing contain lewd lyrics, it might be beneficial to change them. What you choose to sing should be appropriate for all people regardless of age. You can start by recording some lively uplifting tracks. These are guaranteed to get people active in a reserved manner.

To get bigger gigs, you ought to start from somewhere. There is absolutely no way you can become an instant success. If you have friends who plan to hold their weddings soon, ask them to allow your band to perform at their ceremonies. Once you start performing at such events, you build your portfolio in a gradual manner. In the process, never forget to ask your clients to review your performances.

Set up a website for your group as well. These days, setting up a website and paying for hosting is relatively easy. As a matter of fact, some hosting service providers host websites for free. Once your website is up and running, get your fans and clients to post their reviews and testimonials on it. This is what you will ultimately use to market yourself.

Your site should also appear professional. Be sure to create sections for your audios, clips, reviews and photos. Also set a section aside for bookings. If you do everything right, your group will become massively successful. In the end, you will not struggle to get well paying clients.
