Below, are ten alternative unique actions that you can take now to begin tripling your CD sales overnight. A. CD Gig Sale Co-Op I've mentioned this one in a previous issue, but it bears reiterating. Basically it works this way: Arrange a cooperative agreement between your band and B. Distribute Samples At Genre Nightclubs Here, you will contact club managers in your area whose deejays either play your genre of music or host live bands in your genre. This works best in clubs that specifically have deejays and do not have live bands. You ask the club manager for permission to distribute your samplers to club patrons. Even better, is if you agree to pay the club a small fee for allowing you to do so. On the sampler, simply include approximately 2 minutes C.

Flea Markets There are some incredibly large flea markets that are open to the general public on weekends. And, there is the likely chance that, at least, one exists in your area. Contact the management and offer to play for free as entertainment in exchange for management allowing you to sell your CDs. I have been to many large flea markets but I cannot recall ever seeing a band performing. This could be a great start in exposure and sales for you and fellow bands. J. Customized ID Checks Offer radio stations a free customized station ID check for them to air. If you have a fairly good area following, this will work even better. Station ID checks sound something to the effect of… "Hi, this is John Thomas from The Stinging Lizards.
