Terry Gillespie: Kathy's Blog

Promotion - I just read an article that said;  word of mouth works best, that we already knew, but the author also said "if you’re anything like me, you often forget about concerts you’d like to go to unless you get multiple, different reminders". Wow! how multiple...until I start driving you crazy? I would like some feed-back on this.

What works and what doesn't, for example: posters size 11 x 17 - do they work? Table top flyers to take home - do they work? Email blasts - how often? Radio plugs - what is your favorite station and what newspaper do you read ? Tell me all.

I am trying to divide the email lists up geographically so you only get an email if you are living in the nieghborhood  of the show. If you find you are getting the wrong information re-join Terry 's email list on his homepage with the right contact info and make sure to enter your closest town- so I don't send you everything. You can mention in the notes section that this is to correct your old listing.

Every time somebody registers on Terry's email list - we give them a free song. This month the tune is called Monkey Hunger and is on The Faux 45 and will be re-released in September on "Big Money". So tell your friends to join our list. Sometimes we put on events that are only open to people on the list.  Sometimes we also have show specials on CDs - this too is only advertised on our list.

Tonight we are going to The Georgian House - Terry will be performing as a DUO with Terry Owen and they will be accompanied by hand drummers: Miki and Dave Dragone.  This is an intimate venue and invites a lot of personal contact between the musician and the audience. Maybe we will see you there! Kathy
