Bama Hip Hop Promotions
Bama Hip Hop is an Alabama based performance opportunity network helping unsigned Hip Hop and R&B artists and independent labels in general get seen, heard and connected in Alabama and surrounding areas though a program of open mics, showcases, record pools, nightclubs, festivals, special events and promotional campaigns.
What can we offer to you?
Bama Hip Hop Promotions and Marketing can offer you a coordinated campaign for establishing awareness of your product or service brand, artist recognition, music promotion, sales and performance opportunities. We are about putting you in front of people who can make a difference in your fanbase and your business.
We are able to do this through:
Magazine advertising and publicity
CD Compilations and Mixtape placement
Video/DVD movie advertising/sponsorship
Television appearances and advertising (local & multi-city)
Record Pool Promotion & DJ Networking
In-the-club spins and on-the-streets product and flyer distribution
Nightclubs, Festivals and other special events appearances
Email and text message blasts
Venue lease brokering for holding your own shows
Internet promotions
Sponsored Tour Packages (colleges, strip clubs, sports events)
Retail representation
Creative marketing concepts
Contests

What do we need from you?
We are like a delivery service. We primarily deliver your message into the hands, in front of the eyes and into the ears of the music loving, party going and retail buying public. To start with we need an outline of your promotions and marketing needs. What do you want to do? If available, a complete promotions sample package from you including (at least 1 item each), CDs, flyers, posters, press releases or press kit, magazine or newspaper articles and reviews, merchandise samples (t-shirts, key chains, sweat bands, etc), business card and any other materials you feel will give a good sense of who we are working for and what we are working with. Send what you do have. What you don't have and want to get we can discuss that with you also.
What is this going to cost?
One size does not fit all. Almost every individual campaign will be custom tailored to include some or all of the above according to your goals, interests and budget. There are some basic standard packages offered, such as email blasts, which can be expanded by tagging on other services. Certain specialty programs such as the college tour have a fixed budget rate. Most programs will run 90 days, some longer, some less. Let us know what your goals are and how much you expect to set aside for your budget. You will be given a written budget by us before you commit to any agreement to commission us to carry out your campaign.
How do I get started?
Send an email to Ali Shabazz [email protected] with information about yourself and outline your campaign and goals for your company or artist. We will work for labels, artists, producers, DJs, booking and talent agencies, entertainment venues and event organizers.

When they keep getting thrown away!!!

Are you spending 175, 200, 300 dollars for 5,000 card flyers to get your message out to the music industry and the public?

Are you sometimes frustrated by people in the clubs turning your flyers into drink coasters?

Are you sometimes frustrated by the number of flyers thrown away by store owners?

Do you ever wonder about how fast your flyers hit the trash can when people do take them home?

Have you ever wished for a way for your flyers to be picked up, read and kept indefinitely?

Bama Hip Hop offers a unique way to get your message to stand out and be retained by those who get a copy.

The Bama Hip Hop Customized Playing Cards Gift Pack.

Bama Hip Hop will be distributing 5,000 decks of playing cards to leading playmakers in the music industry.Artists, labels, businesses put Your image, album cover, message or logo on the back of a playing cards being delivered to tastemakers and record breakers--DJ's, promoters, A&R, distribution executives, producers, publicists, radio programmers and club owners and, of course, the music buying public. Why would you want to be left out?5,000 decks of cards. Full-color standard size Poker cards in full color boxes. 54 images per deck (includes 2 Jokers). Reserve as many individual cards as you can with your promotional image on it. Poker, Spades, Bid Whist and Solitaire are all card games played by nearly everyone. And on each deal your promo message is being looked at, read and most importantly, is not being thrown away. Repeat use means repeated reinforcement of your message.

I know of one nightclub in Alabama that currently holds a Bid Whist game 3 nights of the week. College students who stay up all night playing Spades. Then there's a sports bar holding a weekly Texas Hold 'Em Poker game. What if your message was on the cards they are dealing? Can you visualize how many people will see your message over and over and over again?

Get in on this now. When we complete only 54 cards this offer is closed. Only 5,000 decks will be produced for distribution for this extra special Holiday gift promotion.

Only $175 per image per card when you supply the artwork to specs. (About the same as getting postcard flyers.) Plus, You receive 20 decks to give away as gifts to your business contacts and top supporters.

What's your choice? 5,000 flyers thrown away or 5,000 decks of cards in homes, offices, colleges, clubs and tournaments with your name on them?

Contact us today to reserve your place in the deck.
