Flemtone Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Nice! We've just recently started a merch table at shows. It's pretty cool seeing the band's name around town. [video:youtube] Quote Play. Just play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Dan Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I'll share a little trick I did some years back to boost our reach. It was a little different in that it was an 80s Tribute during the time that 80s had just made a resurgence, so we had a good contingent of you ladies who liked to come dance. We did stickers, guitar pics, and Tshirts. But then we decided to try Temporary Tattoos. I think it was 1-1/2" or 2" circle, (black and yellow). We got something like 1,000 for about 11 cents apiece. This was also before bands had musician pages on Facebook and we just had a regular Facebook page, so you could friend people and tag people. So here's the rub: during break, I would go around and ask girls if I could put a tattoo on them. Arms were fine, chests were even better. Usually a whole group of girls would get them. Then I'd ask if I can get their picture, which they always agreed to. Then I asked if I could friend them or vice versatile on FB so I could tag them, and they almost always accepted. Within a year of starting the FB page, we had 2000 followers and every weekend groups of girls were getting tagged along with us, so that their entire friend list saw pictures of them sporting our logo having fun at our gigs, and people visiting our page saw weekend after weekend of multiple pictures of girls out having fun. I had to be pretty diligent about getting folks to get the tattoos and connecting on FB. But the band exploded and we increased our pay significantly over the course of a few years. There are a lot of other factors and I'm not saying there is something magic about tattoos, but they are novel and cheap enough that you may want to consider something like that. Just a thought.

Flemtone Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 J., that's a really good idea. With the explosion in tats happening these days, that should work very well in today's market. Quote Play. Just play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Oh, baby. I'm in. As long as I don't have to get a real "Dr.K" tattoo.... Quote Things are just the way they are, and they're only going to get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 OK, so how much trouble can one get into by sticking these stickers all over town? Asking for a friend....

J. Dan Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 We used to stick them everywhere. In fact some of the places I play with another band still have stickers on the wall back stage from 12 years ago. The only issue we had is we would stick them on girls butts (that's not the issue) and by the end of the night, they would come off and be stuck to the dance floor. The staff didn't like trying to scrape them off the floor. I would advise not pissing off the staff.

wraub Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Several corner lamp posts, stop signs, etc. nearby have decals from bands that are long gone... Local archaeology. I've never heard of any attempts to punish anyone. OK, so how much trouble can one get into by sticking these stickers all over town? Asking for a friend....

Paul K Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Ha, so.....I went to a Christmas party at our new favorite bar in Savannah...Moon River. We are part of the "Quality Assurance" program. It sounds like a heavy responsibility, but we're up to the challenge as it provides $4 22oz beers ($3 at happy hour) and a bunch of perks/free nachos and dinner on your birthday, and an open bar at said yearly Christmas party. I was chatting up the guy next to me, talked music. He said, "Wait, what? You're 'THE' Dr. K?" It appears that in high school they nicknamed their favorite fortified wine "Kessler's" as "Dr. K", and he had texted his old gang of delinquents a pic of my sticker the previous day. So stickers work. Quote Things are just the way they are, and they're only going to get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Oh! And if you go to Pago Pago, go to The Equator Bar at the Trade Winds Hotel and check out the Dr. K sticker on the beer cooler.
