MusicHosting.net market by market research
Customized services to fit your music and career:
How does it all work?
Radio Promotion
Unlike college radio tracking services which lure
you with the exaggerated promise of airplay on hundreds
of stations that can't generate any sales for your
CD, Tim Sweeney & Associates only focuses on "Priority"
college and commercial radio stations that impact
the cities where they broadcast.
At the beginning of your campaign, we will specifically
target the impacting radio stations in your home city,
neighboring marketing, home state and region, where
you can tour on a monthly basis to not only support
it but benefit from it.
Publicity
Several years ago major labels instructed various
publications and writers that they would define the
artists on their roster in the following way.
Non-Priority artists could be identified by having
a press kit of their promotional materials. Priority
artists would be identified through Artist Profiles.
Tim Sweeney & Associates will create for you,
a personalized artist profile to replace your press
kit and specifically target the daily newspapers,
alternative newsweeklies and music publications in
your target markets, instead of the national publications
who will ignore you at this stage of your career.
Distribution Options
As you know, distributors as well as record stores
are closing faster than ever before. In your campaign,
we will help you get your product placed into the
stores both online and off-line that are most impacted
by your radio airplay, press coverage and touring.
Internet Marketing
The internet has not lived up to anyone's expectations
as a means of selling thousands of CDs. Endless amounts
of independent artists like yourself have been discouraged
by MP3 sites, internet radio stations and online record
stores, all promising exposure to millions of people.
Tim Sweeney & Associates only focuses on the selective
sites that constant record buying consumers regularly
visit and not the thousands who offer false hopes
and dreams.
Artist Development
including market by market research
When using the promotion and marketing services
outlined, MusicHosting.net always provides expert
artist development services along with our comprehensive
market by market research, to provide you with the
tools we will be using to help develop your music
career.
Our artist development service begins with the creation
of your new Artist Profile along with the redevelopment
of your website.
Consulting
Tim Sweeney or his staff will offer you one on
one in person or over the phone, hourly or monthly
consulting starting at $300.
Now that you are familiar with our various services
customized to your music and career, you are probably
wondering what does a typical campaign with Tim Sweeney
& Associates look like.
Working with MusicHosting.net
While every artist that MusicHosting.net works with
receives a personalized and custom designed campaign,
below is an example of how a typical campaign flows
with our company.
During the first month you will be working with Tim
Sweeney directly. He will personally help you create
the elements of your new Artist Profile. Also during
this time, you will be working with our staff, who
will be coordinating the development of your market
by market research. Toward the end of this first month,
you will have all the elements of your new Artist
Profile completed and be asked to mail out to specific
clubs and alternative venues along with specific internet
sites after the redevelopment of your website.
Month two begins with the coordinated efforts to
help you with the booking of your future performances
in these venues along with the follow up to the specific
internet sites you mailed to previously. Next we will
ask you to mail out to the targeted market impacting
priority college and commercial radio stations along
with, the press publications in your target markets.
In month three, we will help you coordinate the placement
of your CDs into impacted retailers in the target
markets. Next we will start the tour support coordinating
with the radio stations and publications in the cities
you will be performing in. During all this time, we
will continue to coordinate the booking of alternative
venues for even more future live performances.
Upon the completion of month three, we like to review
with the artist the current results of the first three
months of the campaign and discuss what adjustments
and expansion of the campaign we will be targeting
in the future.
