By Amy Nelson


Music is an art form. After an artist has completed their work of art, they need to get it to the masses. Art is meant to be shared. Music promotion companies make it their business to get the songs out to the public. Through these entities, one is able to reach prospective fans and members of the business side of the industry. These are the record label owners and concert promoters.

One can choose to take on the responsibility. This is mostly a decision by new entrants into the industry. It is advisable to hire a company to take over that part of the craft. However, one can do it in the first year. This will help them learn the ropes. They can still offer up ideas after they have hired a professional. Having an expert handle promotion also frees up time for the artist to make their music and make marketing easier.

Patience.Persistence.Resilience.Determination. One should not expect the professional to magically grow the fan base overnight. They should be able to survive the rejections and negative reviews of their work. Instead, they should use this to improve their work and work harder. This will not only make the work of the promoter easier but also retain the fans as well as grow the base.

The professionals will take time to sit with the artist and come up with a plan. A marketing strategy to reach the fans and keep them hooked. The parties will develop a direction that will achieve the most success. Both online and offline marketing strategies will be imperative. The professional will take the time to review the plan and ensure it is actionable. They will reach out to their contacts and get the ball rolling.

Some promoters are great with industry newbies while others can only successfully help already established artists. One should find a company that has had prior success marketing artists of the same level.

A genre fit is an important factor to consider. This is ensuring one finds a company that understands the needs of their type of music. That the company can a handle their voice.That the professional will not try to change the genre to conform to the company image. That they will find the best way to market the music as is. That the personality of the artist will be maintained.

One has to decide how involved they would like to be in managing the finer details of their career. They need to find a company that lets them get their hands as dirty as they like. In some cases, one will want to leave everything to the professionals. Therefore, the professionals must be trustworthy. They must do only what is best for the career of the artist.

The best place to start the search is by asking within the local music community. An artist will always have other artist friends among other industry personnel. These will be the best people to ask for suggestions. In some instances, the best promoters will approach the artist. One should tread carefully. They should ensure they do their homework before taking up whatever offer. All promises made must be verified and thought through carefully.
