What is it?
The Vertigo Street Team is composed of groups of fans that get together to help
expose their favorite band to friends and fellow music listeners in
their hometown as well as help promote for shows in their town by helping put up flyers and other paraphenalia. Members use promotional materials like Samplers,
Stickers, Video, Flyers and Posters to give away to people just like
themselves. Additionally, the team spreads the word throughout the
.. world via bulletin board postings, emails, and radio station
requests.
What do i get?
Other than participating in the excitement of discovering and
promoting a new band and making some new friends, you'll have a chance
to win cool prizes throughout the year, sometimes autographed by the
band, plus chances for free tickets...and exclusive links to new music
and videos.
How do I help and what do I have to do?
All we ask is that you use the items to reach out to music fans like
yourself, promote the band, and let us know about what you are doing
by posting feedback, sending in reports, and taking pictures. Bring
them to concerts, work, school, sporting events, skate parks, stores…
wherever you can find potential fans.
Where are some good places to give away promo materials?
Since you know your hometown better than anyone else, give materials
away at places where people just like yourself hang out. In case
you're stumped or are looking for some ideas, here's a list of places
that are great for handing out promo stuff:
* After shows, outside a club, arena
