Walk Festivals with Music In Hand

Bamboozle, Warped Tour, CMJ, SXSW, Austin City Limits, SSMF, Outside Lands. All of these festivals consist of great opportunities to promote your band–and most of them allow people to walk around for free. But selling merch out of your van is out-dated (and borderline creepy). Try putting your three best songs on an iPod or on your phone and carry around a pair of headphones. Pitch to fellow show-goers how awesome your band is, and with 30 seconds of their time, they may agree. Then carry around some petty cash, a few CDs and a bazillion stickers. The only bad promotion is no promotion at all.
