The best tool yet to pitch house concerts to your fans?

I certainly hope so!
As gas prices continue to rise, and true listening rooms disappear
left and right, house concerts are becoming more important than ever.
The smart artists are sharing resources, embracing their fanbase, and
finding ways to connect with their fans on a deeper level.
What if every CIYH artist turned just ONE of their fans into an
active house concert host this year? (The average host does 5 events
per year, and the average house concert creates about $400 of income
for the artist.)
500 artists X 1 host each X 5 shows per year = 2500 new gigs
2500 gigs X $400 = $1,000,000
That’s right. Together we can create an additional MILLION dollars
PER YEAR for our artists. Oh, and also have a great time, save money
on hotel, and meet some nice people… 8^)
However, I’m sure you’ve noticed that many people “don’t get it” when
you try to explain what a house concert is. So here’s a new tool we
just added to help you illustrate and sweeten your house concert
pitch.
An intro (video) to house concerts…
Add this video to your emails, your website, and your myspace page.
You can embed it, or just include the link in your emails. (If a new
host tells us they were referred by you, we’ll add an extra month to
your artist listing after they host their first event.)
Our next project is a “how-to” video that will fully explain the
details of how to put on a house concert… stay tuned!
