Why Every Artist Needs a Contact List Now
You’ve been working your ass off in the studio, and now it’s finally ready. You excitedly post to your Socials to … crickets.
You want to plan a tour swing. Can you go back to Ohio? You pull up dashboards in Spotify, no information there. You can kinda find it over in IG, but are those followers engaged? Will they buy??
Truth is, you need to manage and grow your own contact list. At vyb we give you the tools to build that list and connect directly to your fans.
Email and SMS, they might sound old school, but they are still the best way to reach your fans. Imagine you are dropping a new track and you want to get your pre-sales up – email your best fans. Need to raise cash? Put together some new merch and email all your fans with an offer. Remember, your super fans love exclusives and they want to be the first to get anything new from you.
Best of all, we don’t charge you to reach your own fans in vyb. Anytime someone buys something from you on vyb, we’ll add them into your contact list (with their permission). The more you use vyb, the more your list will grow. We want you to use the list to message your fans because we win when you win.
On top of that, we give you tools to generate a simple QR code or poster for your gigs. Print this out for all your shows and get your fans to sign up. Share to your socials and get your super fans to sign up for early access. At vyb you are in control of your own data, so own your fan data!
