Hi I have an artist that we are about to release, i am unsure if releasing a single or the full-album would be beneficial. The artist hasn't played many shows and isn't locally known yet. I was planning a marketing strategy or three singles and then an album drop. Most of the singles would be used for promotions, D.J's and radio airplay, however some would be sold to offset some promotional monies. This would coincide with performances at open mics and perhaps booked gigs. I would like to know from those with experience how they approached the release of a new artist on an independent level?
How many of you that have a newly signed artist under your label release a single?
Do you sell or release for DJ,s, radios and promotional purposes?
Has it been successful?
Is this a good marketing strategy considering the current trends in single releases?
Thanks
