May 20th, 2008 — Big Time Entertainment
As a local artist, you must assume that no more than 1% (probably far less, actually) of the population in your home market has ever heard your music. So if your promotion efforts (for a BigTime Entertainment show or any other show you play) are going to yield any results, you must come to terms with the fact that you are promoting almost exclusively to people who know nothing about you, as an artist, whatsoever. You will find that there is only one group of people that will come see you play without first knowing your music—that is, the people that know YOU!
Your friends, relatives, co-workers, and classmates are the only people that will want to see you play without ever having heard your music. They know that YOU are an interesting, cool, funny, deep, or inspiring person—so they know to expect the same from your music, even though they haven’t heard it yet.

May 19th, 2008 — Big Time Entertainment
If fliers did actually work for local artists, then every band in your hometown would be drawing 50-100+ people easily to every show, right? Obviously this is not the case, so isn’t wise to start considering other strategies that will be more effective-maybe MUCH more effective? BigTime Entertainment does its best to offer such strategies to every band that plays a BigTime Entertainment event.
Some would disagree with Big Time Entertainment, saying, “I see a flier around town for all the biggest shows…it must work!” And the truth is it does work for those shows, because a sizeable percentage of the people who see the fliers have heard those bands` music on the radio, MTV, VH1, iTunes featured download, etc. -they may even own their CD already.

May 19th, 2008 — Star Vacation Club
Star Vacation Club welcomes you to St. Thomas. St. Thomas is known as an idyllic vacation spot today, but its history is not so peaceful. In the 18th century, the island was at the center of a bustling pirate culture, as swashbuckling pirates such as Blackbeard and Drake traded stolen wares in the port of Charlotte Amalie. This world-renowned Caribbean island is home to amazing beaches, gorgeous sea and landscapes and unbelievable duty-free shopping.

However, I can’t help but wonder what the criteria is that they used in sifting through one hundred years of remarkable human beings in determining who should be included. No doubt another news organization with a different bias may have produced a different assemblage of noted personages.
Wikipedia describes the List’s evolution:
“The list was first published in 1999, when Time magazine named the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. Based on the popularity of the installment, in 2004 Time magazine decided to make it an annual feature in which the 100 people influencing the world most greatly were listed every year.”
Apparently, being listed is not honorary but just indicative of one’s power to influence events - for good or ill. Tony Blair was denied entry and Ann Coulter’s inclusion was scoffed at, while, strangely enough, Katie Couric’s inclusion was not.

May 17th, 2008 — Big Time Entertainment
BigTime Entertainment believes that every band should use whatever promotion techniques are most effective for them, but below is an explanation of techniques officially recommended by BigTime Entertainment. Big Time Entertainment DOES NOT recommend the use of traditional paper-fliers sometimes called handbills for promoting shows, except in the case of a very well established act (average draw of 500+ per event).
The fact is people can’t hear your music on a piece of paper. No matter what words or imagery it may include, a piece of paper simply cannot connect people to your music. The same is true of print ads in newspapers and show listings on websites. In almost all cases, the rule is “NO MUSIC = NO CONNECTION.”
