Members Booya Tribe Posted September 23, 2008 Members Share Posted September 23, 2008 Is there any perceived benefit to your mailing list? I have never had one and never really saw the point. People I know who had one didn't seem to get much out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Poker99 Posted September 23, 2008 Members Share Posted September 23, 2008 If they are legitimate fans, yes. Just don't expect any miracles... If they are just people emails you got by spamming or contact lists, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knobye Posted September 23, 2008 Members Share Posted September 23, 2008 Mailing lists are another way to keep in contact with fans. It seems most people who listen to our genre of music don't read the paper, listen to the radio, or check up on band pages that much. Emails are the third best way to get a hold of them. The second best is phone calls. The first best is showing up to their house and dragging their asses to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members primeelite Posted September 23, 2008 Members Share Posted September 23, 2008 65,523 as of today on the list but we are a company that has built this list for over 5 years and it includes radio DJ's in multiple genres as well as press not just a fan list. We do have separate fan lists per client so if we added all of them together it would be well over 500,000 working double-opt-in emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members primeelite Posted September 27, 2008 Members Share Posted September 27, 2008 Really a mailing list can be the most powerful thing a band can have. If you have a group of 2,000 fans emails who you know will buy your stuff when you send something out than bam thats a living right there and there are bands who have those and that is what you need to make a living in music. It is all about building and staying connected to your core fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
