Amoral Street Team
What is it?
The main idea of the Amoral Street Team is to spread the word in different areas through local people, mainly by hanging posters, passing flyers etc. In this kind of music all kind of promotion is appreciated and an efficient street team can make a big difference in making a band known in a specific area.So how does it work?
Basically, we're looking for people who dig our music and are willing to make a little effort to try making Amoral better known in their home town. If you decide to join the team, we'll send you posters and flyers to be spread around the town. Places like record stores, tattoo parlors, skate shops and other places of that sort, places where potential metal fans spend time are good for this. You can also drop some flyers at your local clubs/bars, maybe even take some posters to the club we'll be playing in the near future. Using your own head and imagination is more than preferable, we're always looking for new ideas.A street team works on a fan-basis, which means we're not able to give straight compensation for your effort. So what's in it for me then, you might ask? Well, if that's the main question in your mind then maybe street teaming isn't for you. Even though we'll do our very best to come up with some rewards for the hard-working street teamers from time to time, that's not the point. The idea is to spread the word on one of your favourite bands, and by that hopefully make them big enough in your town to make it possible for them to come over for gigs as often as possible. Hopefully, as time goes by, the street team will become our "inner circle", and we'll make new friends around the world that way.
So, if you're interested, contact this e-mail address with your thoughts and ideas included, and let us know which area (town/city) you could look after: amoralteam(at)gmail.com
Things to do:
- Distribute flyers, etc. at local gigs (it is generally a good idea to ask the club first for permission to pass materials out if you are planning on doing it inside). Here's some SYC flyers for you to print out.
- Hang posters up in various locations:
- Pubs, Local colleges, Internet café's
- Wherever you can find places that might catch other metal fans' attention. Put them on post office bulletin boards, in bookstore windows, all over town. Visit the little stores as well as the big chains.
- Bring your own stapler and tape. Most stores will want you to put up the posters yourself.
Please remember some stores or venues may have rules against handing out materials on their property. There may also be some areas where it is against the law to affix stickers/posters to public property such as telephone poles. You may wish to check first to make sure you are allowed to put anything in these areas.
Things to do online:
- If you have a MySpace profile or a website, include one of our web banners on it. Here's one that you can link to http://www.amoralweb.com:
- Put links (to a new video, song, album etc.) in your signature in e-mail.
- Some other signature options: include your favourite Amoral lyric in your signature, along with a link.
- Put links in your signature of any message boards, message forums or chat rooms you are part of that will allow a signature.
- Search online for websites that have upcoming gig listings and make sure Amoral's upcoming gigs are there.
- If you find a place online asking for reviews of CD's, send them a review of one of Amoral's CD's for them to add to their site.
- E-mail local newspapers, magazines, college papers, etc. and have them post listings of Amoral's upcoming gigs in their concert sections, including gig info, address, times, ticket price, etc.
- Promote Amoral in Newsgroups, Forums, Message Boards, and Mailing lists.
Please let us know if you come across websites you think Amoral shoud be part of. And of course, if you have any other ideas, please let us know!
