When they’re gone, that’s it, they’re no longer available. Do this each month and you couldĀ encourageĀ collecting band memorabilia and establish some buzz.
Bar Graffiti
Put your band stickers all over the bar or venue you’re playing in and let the fans know that they could peel them off and keep them.
Photos of fans with band Members
At each show have one of the roadies take pictures of your fans with their preferred band members. Collect their addresses and then send them some FotoSticks a few weeks later to remind them of the night. You can be sure that they will show their companions and family.
