What is a Street Team ??

so does everyone who gets their banner in 20 places get a signed cd, I cant see that happening.... u must go into a pool of people and one gets pulled out. Does anyone know anyone who has got the signed cd... I cant see them sending cds all over the world. Perhaps its one cd per country !

I do remember the street teams thing from years ago on the old board, didnt get it then and still dont. But can understand its good thinking on the bands part , free pr...

A street team treis to convince people that BJ are still good and relevant these days. Sadly they are not. So get the street team off the street!

The record company have made that part clear i think with the non promotion of any of the singles outside the U.S(including not even sending promo copies to radio stations)
I could be wrong on this but the majority of labels dont set aside a budget for artist's to promote a tour when the majority of the money goes to the bands,They will do this for new bands who have a new album and will be with the label for the distant future but as i think Bon Jovi's contract is up they would def not set a promotional budget for a tour.
This will change in the future as with the downturn of sales record companies will sign deals with artists to get a cut of the Concert pie.
In turn huge amounts will be pumped into promoting tours.The first to do this will be Madonna in 2009 as her final albums on Warner will be released this year and then her contract with Live Nation begins,thats when things will change-cheap downloads cheaper cd's and huge concerts.
So from a band point of view a street fleet might work and what have they got to lose as the record company aint going to spend diddly

yeah and I'm in

No idea of the specifics, but I can't find 20 places to post it anyway

Can we pool ideas on where we can smack this banner? I'm getting it in as many forum sigs as I can but it's not enough.

Never mind I've managed it.

Thanks to everyone for the replies ...
I get the idea !
