1. Listening Party Version 1 (RAPOSO Party) - Invite friends, roommates or dormmates to a casual (listening) party. Serve pizza or snacks and put on your READY TO GO CD. Let the music play in the background. Sooner or later, someone will ask what CD is playing. Don't be pushy, but introduce them to RAPOSO's music. If you've seen a show, talk about it. Tell them which song is your favorite and why. And if anyone makes a rude comment, that would be a good time to show them one of the new pictures of the guys. Many are shocked when they realize how the band sounds, along with their image.
2. Listening Party Version 2 - (Are You Listening Party) - Do everything the same as above , but with one difference. Ask each person invited to bring along a CD of an artist they want you to listen to. Throughout the evening, change the CDs and talk about each artist/band. Not only will you introduce RAPOSO to other people, but you will probably discover some great new music as well.
3. Give fliers to your friends and family. Direct them to RAPOSO's MySpace, message board, or website (soon) to listen to clips or lend them your READY TO GO CD. Let the music speak for itself. No need to be overly pushy, though with friends you can usually push a little harder. :)
4. Schools (college or high school) - Ask permission to hang fliers on bulletin boards or to hand out fliers to fellow students. Do not put up fliers if you've been told not to. This will only make the band look bad. Again, be enthusiastic, but not overly pushy.
5. Music Stores - Some music stores have places specifically for promotional items to be displayed. Remember to ask permission before leaving anything.
6. Give Fliers to fellow students, co-workers, etc. Same as above, direct them to the MySpace, message board, and website or loan them your READY TO GO CD.
7. Grocery Stores, Laudromats, etc - Sound strange? Not really. College students rarely have their own washers and dryers and they have to go grocery shopping. Ask permission to post a flier in these places or leave some for others to take.
8. Flier on your Dorm Door - Simply posting a flier on yor dorm room door will get attention. Now they might not ask you about the music directly, but they just might check out the website. Don't forget there are still a lot of undiscovered RAPOSO fans.
9. College Radio Stations - If you know someone at your college station, loan them your READY TO GO CD. If you don't know anyone at your college station, find out who takes care of programming and make an appointment to see them.
10. On other music forums when asked what other artists you listen to, list RAPOSO.
11. Wear a RAPOSO shirt. Several STers report being stopped and asked about the guys simply because they are wearing the latest shirt.
12. Candy giveaways - Several Street Team members used this idea during Halloween. Several more have plans for Christmas. For Christmas, attend your local holiday parade, dorm party, etc. Take fliers and attach a small candy cane or other inexpensive holiday treat.
13. Post Office - Each post office is different, but many have a special place that the public can leave fliers or at least post one on a bulletin board. Ask permission! This is a high traffic place so if you can place at least one flier, a lot of people will see it.
14. Clubs, concerts, etc - Many clubs/venues will allow you to either hand out fliers or leave a stack. Some have a bulletin board. As always, ask permission first!
15. Add a link to RAPOSO sites in your email signature.
16. Add a link to RAPOSO sites in your AIM away message or profile.
17. List RAPOSO and a link to the band's MySpace on your MySpace under bands you like.
18. Add a RAPOSO banner to your Live Journal, Xanga, MySpace or Facebook pages.
19. Play the music! Play the music in your car, in your dorm and everywhere else.
20. Use the banners provided on your personal websites.
21. Print business cards to tell people about RAPOSO, their music, upcoming concerts, etc. Be sure to include a link to their websites.
22. Request RAPOSO music at college radio stations
