What type of advertising would be good for my new recording studio?

Word of mouth is the WORST way to promote ANY kind of company. It's only attraction is the cost of 0. Consider this...what you say in any ad is JUST (if not more, really) as important as WHERE you say it at or through what media. With word of mouth you have NO CONTROL of your message. So even with the best intentions, someone could be talking you up and actually affect the listener negatively about what you can do. You never see your failures...only the successes with word of mouth.\n\nI would suggest radio, on stations that play the type of music you most like to produce. You know musicians are also listening in...best place to catch them. Next in line would be different music magazine publications or local 'hip' publications. The ones that talk about the art and entertainment scenes or the party places and such.\n\nYour CHEAPEST way is to make a flyer to post at record stores and intrument shops. HOWEVER, if you want it to have a great effect, either put your MOST into making that piece look amazing and keep your copy simple and bottom line as to what is in it for the prospect and don't gush on about yourself and what great equipment you have. That is important, but only in the way that actually affects what your target audience would want to do or be looking for. Always write from thier viewpoint...not yours. Also...make the graphics eye catching, yet not confusingly busy and keep a level of class and elegance to appear much bigger than you actually are. No matter your size.

You gotta make a lot of copies and send it to labels. My opinion stick with small labels, like dinosuar fight records, that would be your best chance.

Oh, sounds interesting.........\nI looked into those quickie commercials once, the paid programming ones?  It's a little pricie but one three minute a week spot  could make you a lot of bucks.  You really have to have faith in your product.\nI also looked into running a half page ad in the Sunday paper.......again, a little pricie but well worth it.......\n\nThen I looked into and did use a company that printed up coupons that were mailed out in an envelope to sections of your chosing.........people open those up and take a look at the coupons, sometimes there are discounts on carpet cleaning, others might be to sell jewelry, and so forth and yours will be there too.............That's the less expensive way................good luck.............(I've seen a lot of those commercials on the paid programming channels where in the lower corner a flashing, "Patent Pending" sign comes on.)

I have seen groups solicite in their web site. If you have a small but loyal fan base they can really help out. \nOffer them "exclusives", access at a performance or bounus tracks or something. If you don't have a manager ... maybe you need to get one to keep the business side going while you create.

It is an effective medium of advertisement called as 'Outdoor Media.' To make it effective use the following tips:\n1. Images should be catchy (grasp attention), clutter breaking\n2. Copy should be very brief, so that people read what u want to communicate while passing-by quickly.\n3. Use the location relevent to your target market segment.

get yourself an agent, make a demo record, write letters to producers, record companies, etc. if you can get a demo tape and give it out and tell people, they will listen. its all about p.r.!

Well it depends on the age range of the audience you will be having. If it is more on the elderly side -=alot of seniors=- then you want softer music, with a touch of jazz. If it is a younger audience, then more upbeat music would be the best choice. However, if you want to save money, look to yoru friends if they know of any neighborhood bands/groups that are looking for a gig, or if there are people they know that are trying to get themselves noticed. Usually those types of musical groups will do gigs for cheaper then a professional. Also, danceable music is a must, but mostly you have to see what age group you are looking at. If its an equal mix of both, you would want to satisfy the elder side, seeing how they are more sensitive to the environment and all. ^_^ hope this helps o.0

How about: \n\nOff the wall\nMuralia\nDecorama.\nWall to Wall\n\nIt might be useful to ask yourself some questions. . .\n\nWho will you be targeting (Major segments)\nIn what area (geography and social demograhpics of your segment)\nAre you going to specialize in local art, folk, or maybe ethnic art\nIs your focus on collectors (as a Gallery) or on architects and contractors (As an Interior Decorator)\nHow are you planning your Marketing Mix \n\nMaybe this will help narrow down the creative effort of coming up with a name logo and image

The most effective advertising dollar is spent on a Yellow Pages ad, but that is not really a short term solution (unless your book is just about to come out and you can get in before the deadline).\n\nProbably next best would be direct mail, or get something  out in the weekly flyer bundle (if you are looking for residential work).  \n\nAfter that, nothing beats pounding the pavement.  You would likely want to target business with that type of service, so go around and introduce yourself, leave a flyer and a business card.  You could also talk to places that manage commercial properties, as convincing one of them to use your service could result in multiple properties. \n\nGood Luck!

I am a singer and you are taking the wrong approach its not that easy. Most record execs. Don't listen to no solicited material. Because you have one song a demo consists of 4 if its a good one. You  also must have a acapella track on there...You must have a photo some lyrics to include with your song. YOu must know what you are doing.

Public relations is not my subject, but a recording machine is a really handy tool for getting your ideas out quickly and getting instant feedback on how it sounds.\n\nI don't know if you're writing a public relations document for a company or for school homework.
