Re: [bomp] press kits
from the standpoint of a distributor, let me chime in here (i did see bob's response)
simply said, there are still a lot of old school folks who still want to physically have something---i wouldn't focus on the 8 X 10 glossies though----a one sheet, a few selected press clippings or a page of composite quotes from press----an overview of your marketing/touring plans (depending upon the recipient)---don't overwhelm anyone with a pile of stuff but 5 or 6 pages in a folder works nicely
also--in my eyes, do NOT suggest someone go to your myspace or whatever page to sample the music---send something even if it is only three tracks on a burned CD with a nice homemade cover sleeve----give them something physical
also---this may sound dumb but you have no idea how many people get it wrong----send in a nice clean well packaged envelope---do not reuse one with old addresses crossed out---make the recipient feel that you are spending specific time and energy to make a presentation to them----you cover letter should ALWAYS be personalized to an individual----generic does no pique interest as much as specific
just my thoughts----

Hi
I know some folks on this list are or have been in bands. So here's
the question: how do you put together a press kit. Have an outside
firm handle it, do it yourself and hang it off the band's web site? We
are releasing material and booking agents have started to ask for our
press kit. This has gotten out of hand
thx
