Marketing
There are quite a few social networking tools available now for sharing information with others. Each tool has unique features for publishing and notifications to others. Facebook is one that is widely used. I recently created a facebook page, you can use the link at right to access it. The plan is to post my gigs as events in Facebook. From Facebook, each user can choose what to be notified about (and how to be notified). My goal is to provide notifications of gigs on the day of the event for those who may want ideas for a night out. This feature may limited to facebook members, when I figure it out I will provide an update. For those who prefer no notifications, my performance schedule is posted below and also now on Facebook, The Appleton Hub, and AppletonNightOut.com (a new local Entertainment listing site).
I am currently experiencing 'technical difficulties' updating my repertoire and performances pages. I will be listing songlists for all the bands, adding MP3 samples, and video segments to my retertoire page shortly. Call me for questions regarding our songlist and how to obtain demo music samples. Please use the Performances Calendar below.
