Bands utilise Facebook!
Who said ingenuity was dead? The PR Company who are tracking the spread of Last Band Standing, have reported that many of the more prominent bands are utilising their fan bases via social networking sites. Facebook, MySpace and Bebo are particular favourites for the bands.
Facebook groups are incredibly popular according to Amy Hickson at Blue. "We've detected lots of bands setting up 'vote for us on last band standing' groups on Facebook and urging their fans to vote for them" she said. "With quite a lot of success might I add"
Tamryn Waters from Blue Ink Agency also believes that the gig packs will assist bands with capturing votes. "The whole idea of the competition is to get people to vote for you. The requests for gig packs with 'vote for us' leaflets are proving very popular" she said. "I suppose it's the same as promoting your gigs" she added, "if you don't bother letting anyone know, nobody will turn up".
