Our guest speakers Storm Gloor, Nikki Swarn, and Dean McCall passed along some great ideas on Marketing yourself, your band, and your music at September’s meeting. Best hint: Start your Marketing Plan when you start your Recording Plan. They need to work hand-in-hand, and side-by-side for your success! October 24th’s meeting will feature Attorney Dave Ratner with a follow-up to what needs to go along with the Marketing strategies! Remember: If you are a dues-paying member of COMBO, you can watch the video from the Marketing meeting on YouTube – along with many others from previous meetings!
