How To Get Your Fans To Promote You Through Jazz T-Shirts

By Vicki Diaz


Jazz t-shirts are making a comeback, not only as a trendy wear, but as a means of declaring your loyalty to your favorite jazz band. For the bands themselves, the t-shirt or tee is an additional way to market themselves and earn an extra income to supplement their music sales. With this major comeback in these shirts, it is only prudent that both parties, the fans and the bands, make adjustments to ensure mutual satisfaction and objectives are reached from the sale of them.

First of all, if you are a jazz band and you do not have an identifiable logo, you are committing a big mistake. Logos identify you to your fans, at a glance. Get an expert graphic designer to design a cool logo, as this will be needed for printing on the tees. Make sure you tell the graphic designer how you intend to use the logo so that he may customize it accordingly.

The next step for a band is to get their tee tops printed. The shirts should be well made and of a good quality. It is also necessary for the musicians to use a very good printing company; able to print the logos so that they will not fade. The ink used should not run or wash off in any way. Since that the tee tops represent the band, a poor quality shirt will not give a good impression of the band itself, and will not sell.

Once these clothes are ready for sale, they will need to be marketed, so that the band's supporters can buy them. Branded tee tops can often be sold in local clothing shops. They can also be distributed at the band's concerts, or over the internet with the help of blogs and social network sites.

The shops that will sell a band's shirts should be fairly well known and liked. They should also be willing to offer reasonable prices to their customers. A band should specify the price that they would like to be paid for the tee tops, and should not let the shop make them too expensive.

Shirts do not always have to be sold, they can also be given away for free. At a concert is a great place to do this. They could also be given as a gift together with the band's music CDs. Keep in mind that the main purpose of the tee is not to make the musicians rich, but to market the band's music.

You should also give your fans a reason to wear and flaunt your tee. The only possible way of doing this is by producing great music that everyone is dying to listen to. If your music is bad, it won't matter what quality your tee tops are, the fans are going to give them a wide berth. No one wants to be caught wearing a t-shirt from a band that plays bad music.

Jazz t-shirts remain one of the best ways of marketing your band, and giving it some much deserved publicity. The tee tops can even earn you an extra income. For the best results, you need to make sure that the quality of your t-shirts and music are superb.
