MELBAND - GigTxt Launches â€œMeetupâ€

gigtxt writes "GigTxt has launched a “Meetup” where Artists and Managers from Music and Arts businesses can come together once a month and “do” something. www.meetup.com/Melb-Music-Business-Discussion/ The first meeting was on Feb 16, after the Music Victoria Launch at the East Brunswick Club. The focus of the first month was on fans (customers) and creating a relationship with them in this modern era, looking at Social Networking, Email Lists and how to use them effectively. The outcomes of the session will be made available on the new GigTxt blog http://blog.gigtxt.com.au The idea was to come out of the session with: - A “fan” profile Therefore a better understanding of whom your fans are, why they listen to You, over someone else, and how best they like to be “told” about upcoming Gigs. Why? So your energy is best spent on tasks and money is spent on advertising in the “right” places, targeting the “right” people. Ideas for topics to cover, and “tasks” to “get done” will be open to attendees, and discussion is available on the Meetup Site (www.meetup.com/Melb-Music-Business-Discussion/), the GigTxt Facebook (www.facebook.com/gigtxt) or Myspace sites (www.myspace.com/gigtxt) and in the GigTxt online forum (www.gigtxt.com.au). Next meeting is March 9 at the GigTxt office, at the Auspicious Arts Incubator 166 Sturt St, Southbank. 6pm This month we will look at creating a timeline for your career, working out where you are on it, and where you want to get to. The idea behind this meet up; is to do, not to talk about doing.
So - bring your laptop, phone, and some ideas about what you want to achieve. The idea will be to come out of the session with:
- A better understanding of where in your artist/manager career path you are
- A better understanding of where you want to go in your artist/manager career To RSVP join the “Meetup” group, a small administrative fee is all you pay, the program is sponsored by GigTxt and supported by the Auspicious Arts Incubator."
