As you probably know, there are quite a few site builders available to help artists secure a web presence and promote their talent. Everyone needs a website these days, so it’s helpful to have a service like this. However, even with a great site, you can easily get lost in all the content out there. That’s why we want to introduce you to Bandzoogle, a website builder made specifically for performers. Bandzoogle offers more than just customizable templates. They provide tools to help you manage your gig calendar, sell your band merch, create email lists, and learn your fans’ interests. Here are a few of the things we love about Bandzoogle that make them stand out among the others.
Gig calendar
The great thing about a gig calendar is that it helps you and the talent buyer. Your shows are organized for each band member to reference, and your fans can stay updated on your latest gigs and touring destinations. Because Bandzoogle makes your site easy to customize, you can choose the way you’d like fans to engage with your calendar.
For Jenny Weisgerber, her calendar shows nice, simple links for more information. These links display a popup for fans to purchase tickets, share the event, or get the exact location from Google Maps.
Online store
To give performers more opportunities to make money, Bandzoogle provides an online store feature. Artists can sell CDs and Vinyls, downloadable audio and video files, branded merch, and show tickets, all within the platform. And because they understand the struggle, they take no commission from the sales.
Mailing lists
A mailing list can be an incredible marketing tool for performers. You can keep fans updated on your latest gigs and album releases, and reward subscribers with free audio downloads. Additionally, artists can access email reports to see what content engages their fans. Knowing your audience’s interests is the best way to keep them excited.
Fan data
To help you understand your followers even more, Bandzoogle gives you access to comprehensive website data. These reports show how visitors found your site, where they’re located, and which tracks were the most popular. With this kind of information, you can route a successful tour and give fans exactly what they want.
It’s clear to see why we think Bandzoogle is such a valuable resource for artists. Check them out and be sure to take advantage of their promotion for GigSalad artists! Peace, Love & Gigs.
