When contacting a publicity company, in addition to sending links to your websites, be prepared to explain when the CD release date is, how you will sell the music, what the touring plans are, if there will be radio promotion and any other marketing plans. Also, offer to mail in a hard copy CD as many publicists will not accept online or e-mail submissions.

Breaking Into The Biz – Music Publicity Q & A

How long should one commit to promoting an album before moving on to the next one? 6 months? 1 year? The promo campaign for an album release should start a minimum of 2 months before the release date and continue for as long as the artist is touring and/or has momentum. Continuously touring will dramatically increase the success of an album as will any newsworthy events or accomplishments.
