Here's the Pitch.. ...It's a Home Run!!
Ok you've got the perfect song and you and your friends are sure
this is the next big hit, so... now what? While there's know one
sure way to get your song in the right hands. There's certainly
some things to consider before you promote your song.Pitching songs
to record labels and/or publishers can be as challenging as hitting
a home run in a major league baseball game. Ok so you've got your
mixed and mastered song in hand, Now your ready to start pitching.
First things first you have to know who your pitching to, If your
a explicit metal rock band you wouldn't want to pitch to the disney
channel. So do your research and find the music publishers that
distribute and promote your style of music. Next you have to find
away to make your marketing package standout. If your sending your
package via email, then make sure you choose pictures that are eye
poping and grab the attention,usually rich colors like red, green,
gold will to the trick.For physical mail you should call first and
find out what the A&R or Music Director likes to snack on and
present that along with your package.
You really have to be creative, remember your one of hundreds
each day, so besides having a really great song you have to work
twice as hard just to be heard. It's also a good idea to mention
that you will be sending your material and tell them when to expect
it,every bit counts and while your at it get the name of the
person you speak to, this is a great way to get yourself ahead.
Inside your package make sure all of your contact info is in plain
view and easy to read.Be consistent but don't be a pest, call once
a week to check on your material and include a return postage
(S.A.S.E) for critiques. It may take a while to hit that home run
but it sure feels good when you do and all the frustration you
felt striking out goes away,so batter up!!
Thanks for reading see you next time
