How To Use Bandsintown To Reach Your Fans For Free
As the world's most popular concert discovery app, Bandsintown delivers info on live shows to more than 100 million music fans each month. Impressive numbers, but the burning question is how do you reach your fans?
Fans "track" artists on Bandsintown much as they follow them on social media or by signing up to an email list. Assuming you've uploaded your tour dates to Bandsintown, those "trackers" will be automatically notified every time you play in or near their home city.
Unlike most streaming services and social media, Bandsintown also offers artists the opportunity to message their trackers at no cost – not just about tour dates, but about new releases, a merch sale or even the drummer's birthday.
Free Geotargeted Posts To Fans
Just last week, Bandsintown made these free "post to trackers" even better by allowing messages to be geotargeted (sent to fans in a specific location). The feedback on this new feature from musicians, music marketers and fans has been nothing short of amazing.
