Even in today’s streaming-first reality, performing live remains one of the best ways to reach new fans and, as a matter of fact, boost your streams.
That’s why CD Baby is proud to partner with Bandsintown for the launch of their new Artists Marketplace, a hub for artists to promote their live shows and grow their fanbases through a curated selection of integrated tools and services.
From a single dashboard, artists can:
- Publish tour dates on Bandsintown so they surface across major search & streaming platforms
- Promote tours through link-in-bio tools and website platforms
- Manage e-mail & SMS fan-opt-ins synced to CRM/marketing platforms
- Showcase merch on your Bandsintown page via digital storefront integrations.
- Access a range of other tools and services from affiliated partners
Four ways CD Baby artists can benefit:
Whether you’re routinely touring or just starting to perform locally, you should take every opportunity to promote your shows, capture fan data, and build your audience. Here’s how CD Baby artists can make the most of Bandsintown’s new Artists Marketplace.
1. Promote to a wider audience
Bandsintown gives you a centralized dashboard to promote your concerts across multiple partner platforms. Listing your upcoming shows in the Marketplace increases visibility, complements your release strategy, and drives ticket sales.
2. Unify your audience and fan engagement data
Retain fans by collecting email and SMS opt-ins directly through Bandsintown’s tools. You can sync this data to your CRM or CMS while maintaining full ownership of your fan information — a crucial advantage for independent artists.
3. Make more money
Your Bandsintown artist page can showcase your merchandise via select storefronts like Shopify, while ticket links let fans purchase directly from your profile. By centralizing your live shows and merch offerings, you can turn engagement into sales more effectively
4. Streamline your workflow
Chances are, you’re already using tools like Linktree, Shopify, or Wix. The Marketplace allows you to integrate these platforms with new tools and services to help simplify your marketing workflow, but also take your music further — all within a single ecosystem.
