Fan Reach goes beyond standard social media marketing, which relies on the algorithm, by allowing you to establish a direct-to-fan connection with your growing fanbase. This opens doors to meaningful engagement on a personal level.
Kick things off by rounding up your fans’ email addresses! Thankfully, the Fan Collector feature makes this a breeze. Just head to the Fan Reach dashboard, copy your unique URL, and share it with your followers. When clicked, your link will activate a widget that facilitates the collection of fan emails, contributing to the expansion of your mailing list.
Got a new drop you want to shout about? Tap on the New Track feature to send it straight into the email inboxes of your subscribers. You can personalize your message to add a unique touch, too! Think of it as a letter to your fans. If you have a whole album to showcase, take advantage of the New Album feature on Web to share your music instead!
If that’s not enough, the Update Your Fans feature lets you hype upcoming releases, share tour dates with fans, and more. It provides you with a means to keep your supporters engaged and excited beyond your occasional album and single releases.
Plus, Fan Reach’s analytics allows you to keep track of your email campaign’s success, offering basic metrics like open rates and click rates. We’re adding even more features in the near future, so watch this space.
