Below you can find a list of different ways you can promote Hearts on Fire around your local area with your friends, or even on your own! Some are more popular than others and some are a lot harder or will require more effort. Just to let you know that these have been taken from Cimorelli's official Tumblr account, I have just elaborated on some. You can check out the orignal post here: http://cimorelliband.tumblr.com/post/119870626370/ways-to-promote-hearts-on-fire-start-a
- Start a street team! If you know Cimorelli fans in your area, band together and promo the mixtape in your city/town! Recruit people to help you promote our shows, and our mixtape - a group of people in one area together will get so much promotion done. This can be loads of fun especially if you have made friends with fans online, this can be a great way to get to know each other.
- Send the link to your friends and family!! Make sure you tell them what song you think they’d like! This is the best kind of promo you could do.
- If you have a tumblr, make the mixtape the music that plays on yours so people can jam out to the songs while they check out your blog. But make sure you have the download link somewhere in your description.
- Post videos of you listening to any of the mixtape songs on your snapchat story with the title as the caption.
- Burn the mixtape on CD’s and pass them out at school, give them to your friends, put them in mailboxes, wherever! This can be harder but a lot of fun as people love free music that is easy to get.
- Tweet the lyrics to any of the songs, make a certain line from them your bio, post pictures of select lyrics, making sure you have the link for the mixtape in your bio.
- Put the link in your social media bios!
- If any of your friends would relate to one of the songs, send it to them! Like, if they’re telling you about someone they like, send them I Like It! If they ended a relationship with someone, send them Move On or Before Octobers Gone or A Lot Like Love. If they are struggling with self esteem, tell them about Good Enough. Etc.
- Find people on Twitter asking for new music, and send them the link! You can just search 'new music' on Twitter and click on 'all tweets' this way you will see everyone wanting some new music.
Print out one of the posters attached, cut in between the words on the bottom of the page to make tabs for people to take, and hang them around your town or school! But be sure to check first because in some areas it can be illegal to put up unauthorised posters and you may be fined if caught.
- If you’re on a sports team, tell everyone on the team about the mixtape or pass out CD’s at practice
- Try to get a note or article about our mixtape in your school newspaper
- Print out flyers and put them on your own & other people’s lockers at school! Tell your friends to do it too, bring them the flyer to school.
- Search for people on Twitter who would relate to our songs (someone going through a breakup, feeling insecure, having a crush on someone, etc.) and send them the link. Search lyrics from popular breakup songs and reply to them! E.g “all that I know is I don’t know how to be something you miss”
- If you’re with your friend in the car, play some of the songs!
- Make the mixtape photo your profile picture on different social medias, or add the transparent hearts on fire attached over your picture. (See example)
- Set one of the songs as your ringtone or alarm!
These ideas are not my own but I have tried out a few of these and they are so much fun to do especially with your friends. For more information on how you can promote the mixtape, you can follow Cimorelli on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Cimorelliband
Stay Strong <3
P.s I do realise that the colour behind the text in this post if white instead of transparent, I don't know what went wrong and I will try and sort it for the next post!
