Ways to Promote Your Band Using Stickers

For many, becoming a musician is the dream. But while you can make the best music ever, it won’t matter if people haven’t heard of you. The importance of branding in the music industry cannot be understated. Bands need to be able to market themselves and attract fans to get sales. The more known the band is, the better the chances they have of catching the eye of a record label. If you are starting, you may not know where to start. There are many approaches that you can take.

Stickers are one of the most impactful ways to generate excitement and build buzz around your band. While social media promotions are undoubtedly essential, the versatility and appeal of stickers are truly unmatched. If you’re ready to embrace this powerful promotional tool, it’s time to arm yourself with all the knowledge needed to make it a success. In today’s blog, we’ll dive into the most effective ways to promote your band stickers and take your branding to the next level. Let’s get started!

Here we go.

 

Start Handing Them Out at Shows

This one will seem really obvious, but it’s an effective way to get people to remember you. Before you start giving away your stickers, be sure you’ve got a nice and memorable logo. You’ll want to make a great first impression on people who come to see you for the first time. As you get more and more recognized, people will be proud to start using your stickers. Another approach you can take is to include your fans in the marketing effort. Please encourage them to stick your logos around town and get yourself more.

If you want to make the most out of your stickers, then we strongly suggest you use ones made out of vinyl. These are made of strong, durable materials that can withstand the effects of UV rays, weather, and general wear and tear. With a higher quality sticker, your fans will appreciate the great merch you’ve given to them. If you don’t feel like giving them away, you can also include these in your albums and other promotional materials to boost exposure even more.

 

 

Have You Heard of the Sticker Bombing?

Also known as sticker art, sticker bombing is a fun way for you to show off your brand’s unique style and creativity. If you are new at this, what you need to do is really simple: first, you need to have some stickers with you. Be sure that you’ve got different kinds to break the monotonous look apart. It would help if you had different stickers that stand out. Next, you want to select a location that has heavy foot traffic (make sure that you aren’t placing them in illegal places. You wouldn’t want to get in trouble with Johnny Law.) and start sticking.

When you do this, you want to create something unique with your stickers. The goal here is to be as memorable as possible. You want people to know who you are and what you are all about. If you want to spice things up, include a few QR codes in there. Use these to lead new listeners to your band’s Spotify, Soundcloud, or other platform your music is on. These can also be used to have people easily follow your social media accounts once you get things going.

 

 

Start Using Them On Your Merch

There is no better advertisement for a product than using them yourself. Before you give your stickers away or start selling them, you should give your fans a preview. Place them on your instruments, laptops, water bottles, and other personal belongings. Once you’ve gained attention, you can start giving the stickers away. Having some personal branding is always a great thing to have for a band.

The design ideas that you have will matter a lot here. You should look for different concepts that match the image that you are trying to go for. Once you’ve got the idea, start printing the logo or designs on several things that you have. The earlier that you decide on your logo, the faster you can start working on your promotional plans.

As you work on making your music and living your dream, you should make sure that you are doing everything you can to get noticed and find people to support you. Stickers can be what helps build a strong relationship with your fans.
