1 Dec, 2008

AWESOME! That was most amazing day in our SAB history. Over 3K in weekly charts, and 2K one day.... wow! Thank you all, it was great show of truth and belief. Together we will make it in really short time!



        

The Best Reasons to Invest in Banshee:

1)      Our music. We are a unique band. There are not many Celtic bands around and we take this rarity seriously. We work hard to create songs that exemplify our genre and appeal to a wide range of people. We test our new music often through live gigs to sharpen our skills and gauge interest. However, even if you aren’t a fan of Celtic music, don’t rule us out. Our CDs will work perfectly as gifts.

 

2)      Our skill. We are a professional band of 6 musicians and many of us play more than one instrument, so there is no need for us to hire additional session musicians when we get to the studio. As a result, we can record on a smaller budget, allowing us to use more of your investment for production, promotion, and extras for the LeCD.

 

3)      Our experience. We have extensive studio experience and understand that every single hour costs money. Because we have already learned the ins and outs of recording, we won’t waste the budget learning how a professional studio works. We also have experience organizing, negotiating, and promoting our own gigs. As a result, we know how and when to get our name out so that we can sell our music and ultimately, earn you a return.

 

4)      Our fan base. We have an established fan base in Poland. We play approximately 50 gigs and 10 festivals each year with an average attendance of 200 people and sales of up to 80 CDs per event. This fan base will grow as we branch out through the rest of Europe.

 

5)      Our timing. We realize that after hitting $50K we are going to have a very small window by which we can harness the attention of television, radio, and print media. It is essential that we use this opportunity wisely and we are already putting together a promotions plan that will be ready to launch immediately after we earn our full budget.

 

6)      Our ability to market ourselves. We have constructed a Polish and English  language website, where we sell 10 CDs per month. In addition, we sell CDs and promote Sellaband at concerts, and we provide steady updates to our fans. Our mailing list consists of a few hundred people already.

 

7)      Our infrastructure. We have an already build infrastructure. At locations where we have previously played, we will not only play again, but we are forging long-term partnerships. Five of our current venues have already committed selling our CDs and are considering pre-purchasing them via Sellaband.

 

8)      Our partnership with you locally. We think the partnership principle on Sellaband is very important and are proposing deepening it by helping you sell your CDs locally, such as through Irish Pubs, we will utilize our similar experiences to walk you through the best process for partnering with those venues.

 

9)      Our partnership with you at our concerts. We want to help you sell your CDs. As a result, we are offering to sell them for you at our gigs. Just send them to us and we will take care of the rest. By doing this, you will also keep all of your revenue from SAB advertisements and sales on your account. We realize this proposition will require some detailed planning and we are fully prepared to manage this properly, beginning with finding a way to decrease the shipping costs of the CDs by having a point person in each country for you to ship your CDs to, eliminating the need for international delivery costs. From there, we will handle delivery of the CDs in bulk to Poland.
