MAXIMUM PROMOTION
Ask us (Markus)for an offer to learn how much the maximum customized promotion is going to cost.
If you accept, place your order by following the same steps shown above about the common medium promotion, with the exception of placing an 'X' on the maximum promotion option (see form above).
In this case your material will get the same treatment of the common medium promotion +
-More interviews will be arranged with other magazines.
-Half of your CD will be downloadable from our website at the links provided by our aggressive marketing newsletter to increase the buying incentive.
-A contest will be set up to win one of your CDs (in this case you need to send us 3 CDs instead of 1)
-A key marketing service will supply national and regional rock, metal and alternative press with copies of your CDs.
This is the most effective way for bands with a serious budget yet currently without a deal (no fear: our prices are way more reasonable than our competitors'). Such promotion requires a lot of time and experience, as complications and delays are always around the corner; unfortunately not many bands are able to do things properly and efficiently on their own for different reasons. Myspace, Youtube, etc. and the bands' websites are a good starting point but achieving the press, the hard radio stations and getting a review or a stream has become a more complex process today than years ago.

NOTE: In any of the aboe-mentioned cases your band/label will take part of the list of promoted bands/labels/etc. for an undetermined period in our older promotion pages, so anybody will have the possibility of visiting it whenever they want.
