You need to create a striking website, share engaging content on social media, and attend music events. You must also promote your music-producing business constantly. Don’t know where to start? Here are five great strategies for marketing your recording studio.
Identify Your Target Audience
Not everyone will be your ideal client, so the first thing you should do is know your target market. This could be bands, rock artists, rappers, or vocalists. Targeting the right audience will ensure you get a good Return on Marketing Investment (ROMI). Targeted marketing also attracts high-value leads and builds brand loyalty. Read marketing resources to learn more about targeted marketing. If you’re too busy to market your business, outsource the work to a marketing agency.
Offer Artists Discounts and Perks
Just like you, artists are also in it for the money–not just the fame. They want to get a great deal that benefits them. The way you price your services from the get go will play a significant role in determining whether you will secure clients or not. If you’re just starting out, offer discounts and stimulus to get your first clients. These will, in turn, market your beat or sound. Give referral offers, Black Friday coupons, free beats for bulk projects, and other goodies to entice artists.
Create a User-Friendly Website
Your recording studio is a business like any other, so it needs a website. A website offers loads of benefits, such as helping build trust with prospective clients and advertising your outfit. A search-engine-optimized website puts your recording studio in front of potential customers.
Create a user-friendly website or hire an expert to do it. You can also use search engine marketing (SEM) by paying for ads to appear on top of search engine results pages. Add engaging content regularly to the site–such as videos, blog posts, photo galleries, and podcasts. These will position you as an expert in your field.
Attend Music Events and Network
As the saying goes, “Birds of a feather flock together.” The best place to meet new clients and network with other industry players is at music events such as music shows, festivals, community drives, and music competitions.
At these events, you may meet established acts who might give you a shot and record their next project with you. If that does not happen, connect with upcoming artists who curtain raise for the bigger artists. You have a better chance of signing novices and have the opportunity to nurture them.
In case you need to get a loan for buying a luxury house to host high-profile events, get an affordable one. You can use a mortgage calculator to estimate the monthly payments for your preferred housing. A luxury home will help you make a great first impression.
Use Social Media to Your Advantage
Over 3.6 billion people use social media today, and your next client might just be on Facebook or Twitter. Every music producer needs to build a strong social media presence. Choose the best social platforms and create engaging content that attracts followers and converts them into clients. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are the most loved apps by musical acts, so make the most of them.
