People love bands, and they love stickers too. There’s no better way for fans to show their love for their favourite groups than through band stickers. This is the reason bands use them to promote their music and build an audience. If you are thinking of getting stickers, below are some of the ways on how to use them in promoting your band.
Band Name should be Legible
The vinyl stickers must feature the band name and the URL of their website that can be read easily. While it might sound simple, some bands seem to ignore this tip. A lot of bands tend to overdo the design of their sticker. It should be as simple as possible. Logos and bright colours are recommended. Acronyms should be avoided unless it is the brand that the band wants to be known as.
Use the Backside to Promote Shows
The best thing about band stickers is that both sides can be used to promote the group. Bands can use the backside of the sticker to promote upcoming shows, their social media accounts, new album, and any other stuff they want the public to know. It can serve as a business card that displays the band’s contact information that will allow people interested in booking the band to get in touch with them. The backside can also be designed as a postcard that will allow the band to mail the vinyl stickers to their fans.
Stick Vinyl Stickers on All Band Items
Another way to use band stickers is to place them on all band-related stuff that includes cases, vehicles and instruments. It is the best way to promote the band without having to spend a lot of money.
Stick Band Stickers in Public Places
You can also stick the vinyl stickers in places where a lot of people can see them. This includes telephone poles, newspaper boxes, front door or foyers of businesses, street signs, or the bathroom of the club you are playing at. Just makes sure that you get permission first or else your band might be banned from the premises.
Give Vinyl Stickers Away for Free
Fans love freebies and band stickers are perfect giveaway items. While they do cost money to print, it is still a more cost effective way of promoting the band. Giving them out will be profitable in the long run.
You can give your friends and fans some stickers, and ask them to help you distribute them. You can also leave some stickers at venues, coffee shops, or local record shops. If you are selling some merchandise during shows, you can give a vinyl sticker to anyone who buys an album or fans who asks for your autograph. These are just some of the ways that vinyl stickers can help promote your band.
