RETAIL STORES: Create posters displays in local record shops around album releases. Distribute flyers, stickers and other free band swag.
COLLEGE MARKETING: Poster and flyer college campuses to promote upcoming tours and releases. Hold album listening parties and DVD screenings. Contact campus media (tv/radio/magazines/newspapers) to provide news, tour dates and music to review.
TOUR MARKETING: Prior to the concert, make poster displays around your market, perform lifestyle accounts and hit up retail stores. An hour before doors the day of the show, place posters around the venue. During the concert, take note of the audience: What is the crowds reaction to the band? Which songs are the audience reacting most to? How many people are at the concert? Are fans rocking cool tshirts/clothing/gadgets? What is the median age of the crowd? What is the guy/girl ratio of the audience? After the show, pass out samplers, flyers and other promotional materials as people leave the venue.
LIFESTYLE ACCOUNTS: Visit skate/surf/snowboard shops, head shops, tattoo/piercing parlors, hip clothing stores, trendy coffee houses, alternative/comic book stores, clothing boutiques and other fun places people hang out and hang up posters, distribute promotional materials and encourage in-store play of the album.
MARKETING: Visit online communities and post news, tour dates and other information on message boards, in chat rooms and other social networking websites (myspace / facebook / friendster / purevolume / youtube / webshots / etc).
RADIO PROMOTION: Call and e-mail radio stations that are playing an artist to request their current single.

YOU be a HERO!
the ONE campaign :
“WE BELIEVE that in the best American tradition of helping others help themselves, now is the time to join with other countries in a historic pact for compassion and justice to help the poorest people of the world overcome AIDS and extreme poverty. WE RECOGNIZE that a pact including such measures as fair trade, debt relief, fighting corruption and directing additional resources for basic needs – education, health, clean water, food, and care for orphans – would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the poorest countries, at a cost equal to just one percent more of the US budget. WE COMMIT ourselves - one person, one voice, one vote at a time - to make a better, safer world for all.â€
To Write Love On Her Arms :
To Write Love on Her Arms is a work in progress. This began with one broken girl, one painful night; addiction, depression, cutting. This is a glimpse at the five days that followed, a decision to love and to begin telling her true story. To Write Love on Her Arms is becoming something bigger, something hopeful. It's the realization of what life can be when we commit to meeting a need. A friend of mine told me there's no such thing as suicide prevention. This is an attempt to prove him wrong, to say that love can change a life. We can hold back the darkness. Rescue is possible. More soon to come. Join us as we continue to write this story, and as we begin to offer hope to the many hopeless who walk these dark roads. A Jimmy Eat World lyric has been stuck in my head today, "Believe your voice can mean something."
Kiva :
"Kiva lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can "sponsor a business" and help the world's working poor make great strides towards economic independence. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates from the business you've sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan money back."
Sierra Club :
"Mission:
1. Explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the earth.
2. Practice and promote the responsible use of the earth's ecosystems and resources.
3. Educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment.
4. Use all lawful means to carry out these objectives. "
