Steal This Sticker
Put your performer stickers on bulletin boards, windows and anywhere else you dare. individuals could simply peel them off and use them again anywhere they want. They will not harm walls or windows.
Artist Co-Promotion
Find a wonderful performer or two and have a monthly promotion that includes a limited run of only a specified amount of stickers featuring a certain artist. When they are gone, that is it, they are no longer available. Do this each month and you can encourage collecting performer memorabilia and produce some buzz.
Bar Graffiti
Put your performer stickers all over the bar or venue you are playing in and let the listeners know that they could peel them off and keep them.
Photos of listeners with band Members
At each gig have one of the roadies take pictures of your audiences with their favorite band members. Collect their addresses and then send them some FotoSticks a few weeks later to remind them of the night. You may be sure that they will show their companions and family members. Since they are repositionable, they may put them on their notebooks or laptops to show around and then put them on their wall once they are done bragging.
