Hello band people!

BandCentral, your trusty, handsome, hard-working online band manager, is a many-faceted creature capable of many very cool things.

Over the next few weeks we will be posting a series taking a closer look at exactly how a BandCentral Band HUB can help your band to get its act together.

Today we begin by showing you how BandCentral can help you build an effective fan database and get you talking to new and loyal fans with a walk-through of one of our more out-going features, the Band Promotion Manager!

It’s difficult to overstate the importance of maintaining a relationship with your fans. If you want people to buy your music, come to your shows and quote your lyrics on their Facebook status updates, you’re going to have to be prepared to work for their affections. Like a friendship, if you neglect a fan they’ll forget about you, swamp them and they’ll avoid your phone calls, but respect them and they’ll never forget you.

BandCentral’s Band Promotion Manager has a bunch of features to help your band collect fans and keep them up-to-date with all of the cool things you’re doing.

Let’s take a closer look …
